Dr. Patel Asks some important questions of interest to Colonial Heights residents - Chiropractor Colonial Heights Dr. Patel Asks...

Why is a "slipped disc" unlikely?
Separating each spinal vertebra is a disc. Its fibrous outer ring holds in a jelly-like material. Because of the way a disc attaches to the spinal bones above and below it, it can't actually "slip." However, a disc can bulge, tear, herniate, thin and collapse. But it can't slip.
Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Colonial Heights chiropractic practice.

What Is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a based on the fact that a living organism, such as yourself, is striving to establish balance at all times, therefore allowing you to live to your fullest potential.

Through specific spinal adjustments we correct spinal misalignments, subluxations, that are placing pressure on nerves and surrounding tissues therefore affecting the function of the body and causing pain and discomfort. By correcting these spinal misalignments we allow the patient to live to their fullest potential without pain and discomfort.

At Ariya Family Chiropractic Center our approach consists of careful analysis and chiropractic treatments. We give specific spinal adjustments to release tension from nerves and surrounding tissues to return you to a life without pain and hindrance. Chiropractic is a very conservative, non-invasive treatment protocol, our goals are to avoid the need for surgery or medications. Chiropractors as a whole have the lowest malpractice insurance rates due to the low risk involved in treatments and therapies. Studies performed by the Department of Defense, the RAND corporation, and varying government bodies around the world have shown that chiropractic is safe, effective, and has a higher percentage of patient satisfaction that nearly all other health care providers in the short and long term.

We work with spinal joints as well as joints such as knees, ankles, shoulder, to name a few, and the neuro-muskuloskeletal system to correct imbalances as well as alleviate stress and tension throughout the body by clearing out structural misalignments and muscle/tissue restrictions. The Doctors at Ariya Family Chiropractic Center utilize a wide array of proven techniques that help identify the causative factors of your symptoms.

The Doctors view their roles as facilitators in the healing process. We accomplish that by taking the time to listen and identify factors that are creating a challenge for you and your body.

At Ariya Family Chiropractic Center, we perform specific gentle chiropractic adjustments that release tension, stress, and joint fixation that usually results in the resolution of pain and symptoms. After we accomplish these goals, as a responsibility to our patient we maintain their spinal health and continue to serve them as their spinal health keepers. In may cases problems that have afflicted patients are long standing and have their roots in traumas from decades ago such as old falls, and motor vehicle accidents. Therefore we continue to work with these patients to facilitate their quality of life and not just their quantity of life.
