Adjustments are used to painlessly restore normal movement of joints in the spine or extremities such as shoulders and knees. The joints between two bones can lose normal motion for a number of reasons ranging from normal daily activity to trauma such as a car accident. 

When these joints and spinal joints especially do not move fully, it has an systemic effect from muscular to the central nervous system. Without proper alignment and flow of all nerves and systems in the body from the brain, we can't function at our peak. 

Dr. Sharp uses several different methods to adjust the spine and extremities. Depending on your unique needs he may adjust you using the traditional technique of adjusting with his hands or use an instrument to help gently adjust. He may also use special tables to help care for you as well as several other methods if needed.

Adjustments are an excellent way to keep the body functioning at its highest level because when the body is in alignment, it is able to respond and perform as it was designed to.

Sometimes Dr. Sharp will prescribe certain exercises that address individual patient problems. These exercises are called therapeutic and are an essential part of spinal and over all health and can many times reduce the care in office.

At Sharp Chiropractic we often will take X-rays to allow the doctor to get a good look at what is going on with the entire spine, bone structure and skeletal structure. The image will allow Dr. Sharp to see the current spine angles and determine potential issues including the potential for additional imaging such as a MRI if required. 

Electrical Muscle Stimulation helps the body in the healing process by sending a very small electrical current into the affected soft tissue injury or muscle spasm. This therapy utilizes this electrical current to reduce swelling and release trigger points that may have locked up the muscle. It does this by helping the body release endorphins - natural relievers of pain.This is a great therapy if there is a spasm in a back or neck muscle. It works well in relaxing the muscle and allowing it to return to its normal state rather quickly. Short therapy sessions are excellent at facilitating healing from acute and chronic pain.
