CHIROPRACTIC
A healthy spine is the foundation of everything, how you move, how you feel, and how well your nervous system does its job. At Well Co. Chiropractic in Sarasota, Dr. Sandy Arthur offers personalized chiropractic adjustments designed to restore proper joint function, reduce pain, and help you feel like yourself again.
Chiropractic Adjustments
A chiropractic adjustment is a targeted, controlled force applied to a joint, most often in the spine, to restore its proper alignment and range of motion. When joints become restricted or misaligned (chiropractors call this a subluxation or joint dysfunction), it can cause pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, and even affect how your nervous system functions.
Adjustments help correct these dysfunctions, which can lead to significant improvements in pain levels, mobility, and overall wellbeing. At Well Co., Dr. Sandy evaluates joints from a musculoskeletal perspective, meaning she looks at the whole picture, not just where it hurts.
How Does Dr. Sandy Adjust?
One of the things people appreciate most about Well Co. is that Dr. Sandy offers several different adjustment styles, so she can tailor the approach to what works best for you:
Manual Adjustments
The traditional hands-on chiropractic adjustment. Dr. Sandy applies a precise, quick thrust to restore joint movement. This is often what people picture when they think of chiropractic, and yes, sometimes it makes a popping sound (that's just gas releasing from the joint, totally normal and not harmful).
Activator Adjustments
Prefer a gentler approach? The Activator is a small, handheld instrument that delivers a quick, controlled pulse to the joint, no twisting or cracking required. It's a great option if you're nervous about manual adjustments, or if you have certain conditions that call for a lighter touch.
Drop Table Adjustments
Well Co.'s table has specialized drop mechanisms that allow for gentle, effective adjustments to the hips and low back. The table segment "drops" slightly as pressure is applied, making this a low-force option that still produces great results.
Flexion-Distraction
A special feature of our table, flexion-distraction uses a gentle pumping motion to decompress the spine. It's particularly effective for disc-related issues, herniated discs, and chronic low back pain, and most patients find it very comfortable.
Do I Have to Be Adjusted?
Absolutely not. Dr. Sandy never pressures anyone into a treatment they're not comfortable with or that isn't appropriate for their situation. If you've had spinal fusions, have a fear of cracking, or simply prefer a no-thrust approach, she will work with you. There's always an option.
