Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs) are experts in the structure and function of the human spine and extremities.
Chiropractic practitioners identify areas of the spine and extremities that may be injured or causing pain.
Once these areas are identified, chiropractors use their hands or an adjusting device to restore proper joint motion and decrease pain.
Chiropractors traditionally perform adjustments by twisting or thrusting the spine or extremities.
When this force is applied, a crack or pop within the joint is often heard. This sound is called a 'Cavitation' and results from a harmless decrease in pressure within the joint capsule.
Patients in pain are often afraid to see a chiropractor because they don't want to be manipulated, twisted, cracked or popped.
Dr. Greg Freitag specializes in the Activator Method, a gentle style of chiropractic, and is excellent at gentle spinal manipulation techniques to achieve optimal spinal segment motion and pain relief.
