What is chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care refers to a wide array of natural noninvasive and drug-free methods to help restore your health and relieve disruptive symptoms. 

Your body regulates and maintains itself, and can also heal itself. Your central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) is responsible for all of this, delivering messages (nerve signals) all over your body to direct everything it does.  

But, problems like subluxation — when bones or joints shift slightly or completely out of place — can have a dramatic negative effect on your entire nervous system, and thus, your whole body. 

Chiropractic care focuses on restoring the balance of the spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system, which in turn relieves any dysfunction caused by subluxations.

As a chiropractor, Dr. Rardin knows that your body wants to function properly and can do so. His job is to get you to a place where your body can do just that. 

What types of problems does chiropractic care cover?

Chiropractic care is about wellness as well as injuries and chronic pain. It can treat:

• Neck pain
• Back pain
• Knee pain
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Sports injuries
• Headaches
• Pregnancy

Chiropractic care also addresses other conditions affecting nearly any part of your body. 

What does chiropractic care involve?

Chiropractic care is a wide-ranging field. The main aspects include:

Chiropractic adjustments 

Adjustments involve hands-on techniques that identify and gently correct subluxations. 

Dr. Rarden uses a range of techniques based on your needs, including advanced approaches like Logan basic technique and diversified method. 

Corrective exercises

Corrective exercises are a personalized blueprint to help you restore your health through specific movements. Dr. Rardin gives you corrective exercises to perform at home every day. 

The exercises improve muscle strength, flexibility, and range-of-motion to support the results of your chiropractic adjustments. 

Lifestyle counseling

Lifestyle counseling is another way to support healing and wellness. Dr. Rardin coaches you in making healthy choices, from nutrition to exercise to sleep habits and beyond.

He tailors your counseling to your current situation and helps you replace bad habits with good ones. Essentially, lifestyle counseling helps you lay a good foundation and get the most from your chiropractic treatments.
