Chiropractic Care
Our approach to chiropractic care treats the whole body from head to toe. While some chiropractors only adjust what’s bothering you that day, Dr. Kennedy addresses the underlying root cause of why that particular area is out of alignment or hurting. This comprehensive approach helps your adjustments hold better, maintains balance, and allows you to get on with your life without needing frequent visits.
Your back pain may be stemming from a foot problem that affects your gait. Neck and jaw pain might stem from a shoulder or rotator cuff injury affecting your alignment. By correcting the actual problem rather than just treating symptoms, Dr. Kennedy provides lasting relief, versus a quick fix.
Multiple Techniques for Every Patient’s Needs
Dr. Kennedy offers various chiropractic techniques tailored to what your body can tolerate and what your condition requires:
- Diversified Adjusting: Traditional manual adjustments for patients who can handle higher force corrections. This technique effectively realigns the spine, removes subluxations, and eliminates nerve irritation.
- ArthroStim Instrument: A gentler alternative similar to an Activator, perfect for patients with disc herniations, osteoporosis, or those whose bodies aren’t flexible enough for traditional adjustments. Dr. Kennedy often starts with the ArthroStim on extremely painful areas or when patients are too stiff, then transitions to the Diversified Technique as flexibility returns.
- Drop Table Technique: Effective adjustments using specialized equipment for gentle, precise corrections.
- Blocking Methods: Another low-force option for patients requiring gentle treatment approaches.
- Pregnancy: Specialized, comfortable positioning for expectant mothers throughout their pregnancy.
Dr. Kennedy lets your body guide the treatment, always adjusting using the amount of pressure you can tolerate.
Adjusting More Than Just Your Spine
So, why does Dr. Kennedy adjust everything from head to toe? Because everything in your body is connected. This includes your spine, extremity joints, feet, elbows, ribs, knees, pelvis, and jaw. She also treats children, though they’re not her primary focus.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Established patient appointments last 45 to 50 minutes. Dr. Kennedy uses applied kinesiology to assess your condition and determine exactly what needs to be adjusted and in what order. For example, if you come in with back pain, she might start with your ribs, work down through your knees, then circle back to your pelvis and back. This systematic approach ensures optimal results and lasting relief.
For years, I went from chiropractor to chiropractor, and they all helped a little bit, which was great. And I thought that was as good as it could get, and then I met Dr. Kennedy, and she was just on a completely different level. So, for me I never understood that level of expertise, that there was someone who could take care of your entire body in a noninvasive but fully effective way. Cathy Parlitsis
