Chiropractic

Although the back is the primary focus of chiropractic, the manipulations can be applied to any muscle or joint in the body. Techniques vary among practitioners. Typically, after preparation and proper positioning, the chiropractor creates tension around the offending joint, then applies pressure to return it to its proper position. A popping sound is often heard-and sometimes felt-following this maneuver. The noise is similar to the one you hear when cracking your knuckles. It results from the sudden release of built-up pressure in the joint, and is generally painless. As the joint snaps into place, pain is relieved and proper function is restored.

Other techniques you may encounter include soft tissue manipulation, trigger-point manipulation, or deep tissue massage. Dr. Goltl's techniques only use light pressure to correct bone displacements.

We treat people of all ages including children. Parents who place great value on the health of their children have them periodically treated to maintain optimal growth and development.
