Chiropractic adjustments are the procedures used to correct subluxations, which are the misalignments of bones that result in pressure being put on the nerves.  Correction of subluxations relieves pain, enables the body to heal, and allows for optimal functioning of the body.  At Biggs Chiropractic & Acupuncture multiple different technique styles and different levels of force are used based on each patients’ condition and preferences.  Dr. Biggs will review with you the type of adjustments your specific case requires and what to expect before performing your first adjustment.  

Chiropractic acupuncture is the art, science, and philosophy of treating disease and injury by stimulating specific energy modulating points on the skin. Stimulation of these points can be done by needle insertion, electrical stimulation, light (laser), heat, and pressure. Chiropractic acupuncture focuses special attention to the connectedness of the nervous system, spine, and meridian energy system. Overall, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain, but can be used to treat a vast array of other conditions.
