What Is A Chiropractic Adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment is a high velocity, low amplitude force through a misaligned (or ‘stuck’) joint. Dr. Keirstyn known as a gentle practitioner when doing her adjustments. This allows for a comfortable experience for all of her patients, whether it is their first time or they come all the time.
It Is A MYTH That Chiropractors ONLY Adjust!
Their are different types of chiropractic styles. Dr. Keirstyn went to The Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, ON where they train for 4 years to learn to specialize in not only the spine and nervous system, but also on muscles and all joints of the body. This type of therapy is especially helpful for endurance athletes because it allows for the nervous system, muscles and joints to be released and become more balanced.
*Dr. Keirstyn only adjusts patients who are comfortable with being adjusted. Their are many other therapies she provides in placement is someone is uncomfortable with them!
