The hallmark tool of chiropractic therapy is focused on restoring segmental motion to specific spinal vertebrae that  benefit the body by:

• reducing pain
• increasing range of motion
• decreasing muscle spasm
• breaking up scar tissue
• improving neurologic function

Spinal manipulation is a tool used by many different types of health practitioners, however chiropractors primarily use this form of treatment as their specialty.

In the past, many patients understood the benefit of chiropractic adjustments to originate from the "bone out of place" model in regards to spinal dysfunction. 

However, the latest chiropractic, biomechanical, and neurological research has revealed that this theory is too simplistic in its understanding and is no longer scientifically satisfactory.  It is indeed a much more physiologically complex and interconnected process(es) than we have yet to comprehend.

Nevertheless, as research continues to catch up to the clinical experience, chiropractors have been seeing effective and consistent results with many different types of patients that are seeking a natural, cost-effective alternative to typical western medical approaches.

At Integrative Chiropractic and Extremities, Drs. K yle Bryant and Eric Turner offer many different spinal adjustment techniques that aim to accomplish the same goal - restore segmental spinal mobility. Our doctors attend numerous continued education classes to further enhance their skill and understanding of these techniques in order to better help a wider range of patients within the Kennewick and tri-city area.
