Non-Surgical Spinal Correction

Your spine is designed to move, but misalignment and improper or lost movement of the joints can interfere with your nervous system, causing pain or other obvious symptoms, and lead to spinal degeneration if left untreated. While your spine can be adjusted to restore normal position with chiropractic adjustments, the ligaments supporting the spine may have become injured and accustomed to years of improper support.

Therefore, proper support and movement cannot be fully corrected by adjustments alone. When specific exercises or maneuvers recommended by our doctor are combined with spinal treatments , the supporting ligaments can be retrained and your spine has its best chance to return to normal position and movement on a more permanent basis.

The Advanced Health Center of San Jose, California, has undergone specialized additional studies in Applied Spinal Biomechanical Engineering. The principles and procedures learned in these clinical seminars helps the Board Certified Doctor to determine the direction of any misalignment or improper motion in your spine, using specialized motion x-rays . For patient safety, a state-of-the-art x-ray filtration system is used to extremely reduce x-ray dosage by an average of 94%. From these x-rays, spinal corrective exercises are developed on an individual basis and given to the patient. These exercises have such a profound effect, that when follow up x-ray views of your spine are taken, restored motion will be quite apparent, depending on how consistently you've done the exercises.

These specific exercises are performed by the patient at home and at the clinic. In addition, the patient receives chiropractic spinal treatments to improve function. The combination of the two will restore position, motion, function and flexibility of the spine.
