ADJUSTMENT

CHIROPRACTIC

Chiropractic care finds its roots in the Greek words cheir (hand) and praxis (action), signifying a hands-on approach. Practitioners of Chiropractic medicine are experts in employing gentle adjustments to enhance range of motion, flexibility, and restore optimal function. An adjustment involves using a natural, manual technique that applies gentle pressure to correct dysfunctional joints in the spine or extremities. At Virtus, we integrate chiropractic adjustments with various treatment modalities, supported by extensive research, and it has consistently demonstrated its safety and effectiveness for individuals of all age groups.

RELIEVE PRESSURE

SPINAL DECOMPRESSION

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical therapy aimed at relieving pressure and tension on the spinal discs and nerves. It involves the use of a specialized table or device that gently stretches and decompresses the spine. This technique can help alleviate conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease by promoting the retraction of bulging discs and improving spinal alignment, which may reduce pain and increase mobility.
