General Adult Care
Though common misconception links chiropractic care solely to acute injury, many adults come to Rhinebeck Chiropractic seeking better overall health, a jumpstart to a sort of health challenge of treating their body’s woes. Some come seeking relief from secondary conditions such as low-back pain, neck pain, or chronic headache. Others are seeking an alternative to taking prescription drugs or worse, having surgery. And others still want answers to problems like insomnia, anxiety, infertility, or autoimmune conditions. In the end, any of these issues usually indicate that the body is not functioning at its best—something is prohibiting it from doing so!
Just as a house with an unstable foundation can cause the floors to creak, the windows to get stuck, the walls to crack, and the draining systems to malfunction, a neuro-spinal shift (in our patient) can cause decreases in joint motion, faulty movement patterns, inflammation to the tissues around the spine, and interferences to the nerve system that controls all other functions of the body! With this relationship in mind, in our office, we are always examining to find the underlying cause of any issue, pain or otherwise.

Fixing the Foundation: Neuro-Spinal Shift and Chiropractic Care
Neuro-spinal shift occurs when the spine shifts, and therein, causes a cascade of resulting changes/shifts/decreases in intended function to the whole system (i.e. the spine now sends a disrupted or altered message to the nerve system). Just as that house with the shifted foundation will now “tell” the floors to sag a little to the right (causing creaks, or worse), the compromised spine might “tell” the hip to align differently (causing pain, or worse!).
At Rhinebeck Chiropractic, we correct these shifts. We make gentle and effective corrections to the spine through adjustment and cranial/sacral therapy. As a result, people move better, feel less tense, inflammation decreases, and interference to the nervous system decreases and/or is allayed. This allows the body to function better and more efficiently, and thus, we see many secondary conditions improve following our care.
