Chiropractor (Doctor of Chiropractic):
As Doctors of Chiropractic, we are highly trained in the diagnosis of a wide
variety of spinal conditions, which we treat and manage
conservatively. Chiropractors in New York State are licensed to treat and
remove vertebral subluxation complex. A subluxation is where you have a
vertebra (bones that make up your spine) out of their normal position. These
subluxations or misalignment of the vertebra in patients result in various
painful spinal conditions. The misalignment of the vertebra is corrected by
the chiropractor with an adjustment. It is this spinal adjustment that is
used at Skurka Chiropractic Centers, to treat a wide variety of spinal
conditions. In addition to adjustments, each patient receives a unique
treatment plan that is tailored to their specific ailment. |
