Chiropractic Care In Staten Island
Chiropractic in Staten Island involves non-surgical, non-invasive medical procedures that help alleviate problems including neck pain, back pain, sciatica, spinal decompression, and herniated discs. Chiropractors offer natural health and wellness services for people of all ages, including those who have sustained an injury in an accident at work, while playing sports, or in a car accident. Dr. DiMaggio uses digital radiography (DR or DX), which uses film-free X-ray image technology to record an X-ray image as a digital file that can be used for diagnosis and then saved as part of your medical record.
Depending on your diagnosis, techniques may include light force or full spine techniques, lumbar distraction, activator, roller table, or sacro-occipital technique. After diagnosis, Dr. DiMaggio will use the Chiropractic techniques that are most appropriate for your condition.
Chiropractic Explained
If you are looking for an explanation of how chiropractic care works this paragraph is for you. A concise scientific explanation of chiropractic is that adjustments directly affect muscle and bone structures by reducing pain and increasing joint motion.
That's a lot to take in, but it is the explanation as to why some chiropractic patients in Staten Island report improvement in body function. This is not a claim that chiropractic adjustments treat disease, but it does suggest that some people will see improvements in conditions that are outside of the treatment area.
