At Provance Chiropractic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer.

Chiropractic Care

To put movement in a joint that is fixated, the doctor utilizes chiropractic manipulation or an adjustment to help restore normal function and motion in a joint. Generally, this technique employs gentle pressure or a shallow thrust to restore optimal motion. An adjustment is sometimes accompanied by a pop or cracking noise, which results from the joint’s release of nitrogen gas.

When a door is not working properly, you would not just examine the door closed but also swing the door to determine if the hinge is freely moving or if the door is out of level. This often includes examining patients’ movements as they walk, squat, run or throw and then feeling the specific joint’s movement by hand. Once a restricted joint is identified, this technique offers effective and biomechanically correct ways to mobilize the fixated joints, restoring proper function to these areas.

Techniques Utilized

• Motion Palpation
• Diversified Technique

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy offers a natural conservative treatment approach  that relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients.
