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.
Regular Visits
Following a Plan Of Care
Follow-up visits with the Doctors of Ariya Family Chiropractic Center are less time consuming then the first and second visit. After a plan of care has been created by the Doctor subsequent treatments last between 15 to 30 minutes.
More complicated cases involving spinal decompression or cold laser therapy may involve more time, you will be made aware of this at your second visit when reviewing your examination results.
