The Importance of Chiropractic Care
A Chiropractor is a healthcare professional emphasizing diagnosis, prevention, and management of musculoskeletal conditions. InMotion’s chiropractor will work with you to improve the relationship between your spine and your nervous system. This will help you live a healthier and pain-free life. We also educate our clients on how they can improve their well-being through exercises or other practices.
Every muscle, organ and tissue in your body is impacted by your nervous system. If there is interference to the normal function of your nervous system, then your spine, musculoskeletal system and the rest of your body is negatively impacted and you will likely feel pain or discomfort. Chiropractic care is one of the best ways to relieve this pain and discomfort, and to optimize the function of your nervous system and the rest of your body.
Our priority is to restore normal movement, relieve pain and maintain the health of your joints and nerves. We want to build a relationship of trust and patient care that you deserve. InMotion’s Chiropractor has specific training in spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) which allows him/her to provide adjustments using highly-skilled and precise movements of the vertebrae.
