A chiropractic adjustment, also known as spinal manipulation, is performed by our Doctors of Chiropractic to enhance the function of the spine and nervous system. This involves the application of controlled force to specific joints of the spine, aiming to restore proper alignment and promote the nervous system to function at its best, alleviating pain and improving overall physical function.

We provide spinal adjustments using a variety of techniques, from traditional hands-on adjustments to instrument-assisted adjusting. The style of adjustment we use will always be catered towards your spine and individual needs.

Prenatal Care & Webster Technique
During pregnancy, your body undergoes significant changes as the baby grows. To ensure a healthy and comfortable pregnancy journey, prenatal care is crucial. Chiropractic care offers safe and effective options to support your well-being during this special time. The Webster Technique, a specialized chiropractic approach, focuses on balancing the pelvis and relieving tension in the surrounding ligaments. The research shows that by promoting optimal alignment and function, this technique can potentially help optimize fetal positioning, ease discomfort, and contribute to a smoother delivery.
Corrective Exercises
Corrective exercises are an integral part of chiropractic care at Levine Clinic, complementing spinal adjustments to help you heal quickly. Once healed, corrective exercises provide an excellent means to keep the spine healthy.
Corrective exercises in chiropractic care are specialized movements and physical activities designed to address and correct musculoskeletal imbalances, improve posture, enhance mobility, and alleviate pain. These exercises are tailored to the individual needs of each patient, developing a routine that you can use out of the office to get well and stay well.
Whether they are seated exercises for someone who sits at a desk all day, physioball exercises you can perform at home before you start your day, or post-work activities aimed at helping the spine unwind from a day of compression, all of our exercises aim to provide spinal hygiene, a means of taking care of the spine proactively and preventatively.
