Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is a form of natural healthcare that helps to keep your spine healthy and aligned. When subluxations (misalignments) are present in the spine, pressure is put on nerves. When the misalignments are corrected through the chiropractic adjustment, everything goes back to functioning as it should. The most important part is that your nervous system, which controls every other body system-can work at 100%.
Providing Personalized Plans
The care New Hope Chiropractic provides is always customized to each patient. After your chiropractor performs a detailed history and exam, they will come up with a diagnosis and then construct an individually tailored treatment plan.
Being in Silicon Valley, where many people work long hours in front of a computer, we see many patients benefit tremendously through our treatments. However, the biggest contributing factor to patients getting the best results is consistency of treatments and actively engaging in their own recovery and care.
Our doctors will choose the techniques that will fit each patient best. The main methods we use are as follows:
- Diversified: After determining which vertebrae have lost their normal motion or position, a precise manual thrust is performed to free up “stuck” spinal joints.
- Gonstead: This full spine approach relies on X-rays and a heat-sensing instrument for a thorough evaluation and documented results.
- Thompson Drop Table: Thompson Terminal Point technique is a system of analysis and a special table that reduces the amount of energy needed to adjust your spine.
- Cox Flexion-Distraction: This is a gentle, non-force adjusting method that includes the use of a unique table. The movements of this table assist in the traction of the spine. The method opens up compressed spinal discs and reduces pressure on facet joints of the spine.
- Myofascial Release: We’ll locate tender areas where muscles and connective tissue are producing pain and restricted movement and gently release them.
- Activator Methods®: This technique uses the Activator Adjusting Instrument-a handheld spring-loaded tool that delivers a steady low-force, high-speed thrust. Because this approach is dramatically faster than manual adjustments, the body rarely tightens to resist the adjustment. As a result, your adjustment will be more comfortable and effective. The Activator is also helpful for adjusting elbows, wrists, knees and other joints of the body.
- Extremities: While many health problems can be traced to the spine, wrists, elbows, shoulders, knees other joints of the body can be helped.
We help patients with all types of problems including:
- Sciatica
- Back pain
- Shoulder pain
- Neck pain
- Pinched nerves
- Headaches
- TMJ
- Carpal tunnel
- Sports injuries
- Car accidents & more
There are certain health conditions we enjoy helping. We enjoy helping because it’s not only challenging but because it’s so gratifying to see results after traditional methods are unsuccessful.
We’ve had great success in treating patients with back pain. We have been able to locate the root cause of the problem and help patients maintain the health of the spine.
At our chiropractic office we have many patients who have been relieved of their nerve and sciatic pain. It’s always a great joy to see patients’ relief when they no longer live day to day with nerve pain and numbness.
We have treated many patients who sustained injuries and trauma in motor vehicle accidents. We have been very effective in helping patients manage their pain and make a strong recovery.
Sports Injuries
We have helped countless number of athletes at our office get back on their feet after a sports injury, so they can continue to do what they love to do. We also identify injury-prone areas that may cause problems later, and help them to protect and strengthen those areas.
The number of sessions depends on your medical history and the severity of your condition. After a few appointments, we can let you know how you’re improving and provide an estimate of how long your care will take.
Will I be given exercises as part of my care plan?
Yes, we will provide you with various exercises to help with range of motion and the particular condition you came in with.
Are there other services you will recommend to complement my chiropractic care?
Yes, massage, physiotherapy and custom orthotics all work in conjunction with chiropractic care.
Do you take insurance?
Yes, we accept most insurance plans and will verify your insurance coverage, when you contact your office.
I don't have insurance; do you offer a way to make my care affordable?
We do have a discounted rate for patients who do not have insurance.
What are some of the common things that people come to you for?
As we’re in Silicon Valley, we see many engineers who are in pain from sitting in front of the computer all day long. Sciatica and help for auto accident injuries are two other common reasons why patients see us.
If you can't help me will you refer me elsewhere?
Yes, although we can help most people who come to see us, there will be times when someone else is better suited to your particular case. In those instances, we have a network of doctors we can refer you to.
