Dr. D Asks some important questions of interest to Berkeley Heights residents - Chiropractor Berkeley Heights Dr. D Asks...

Can someone who has had back surgery receive chiropractic care?
Yes. Rest assured that we will avoid the surgically modified areas of your spine. However, what we find is that surgical interventions will often produce spinal instability above or below the involved level. This is will be the focus of your chiropractic care.
What causes vertebral subluxation complexes?
Chiropractors acknowledge three types of stress: physical, chemical and emotional. When the adaptive capacity of your body is compromised, weakened areas along the spine can become involved. Muscles tighten, spinal joints lock up and nearby nerves are affected. The purpose of chiropractic care is to find these areas and restore balance, alignment and motion.

Regular Visits

A typical office visit you will check in at the front desk and sign in.

Once in the treatment room it is okay to relax and do a few stretches on the table to prepare for the adjustment.

Decompression Therapy

Please take any bulky objects out of your pockets.

Dr. D will go over your response since your last visit and check your spine for joint locking and the areas that need to be adjusted. Any areas of myofibrosis (muscle knots)  in your muscles will also be checked and treated for the day.

Therapies and are also given at this time and exercises may be done, too. For our decompression patients, decompression is generally done before the adjustment. The adjustment takes only a few minutes, while therapies and exercises are performed in 15 minute intervals.

One of the differences at DCA is that your treatments will often change over time as your condition responds. Also, there will be days when you may present with a different complaint, which will require a change in your usual treatment. For example, if we've been treating your low back and you come in with a migraine, it will affect your treatment program.
