Stump Chiropractic

Chiropractic

When vertebrae, the bones of the spine, are misaligned, nerves can become irritated and muscles torn.  Back and neck pain also results when these bones lock at the joints.  Pain and numbness elsewhere in the body is often caused by bulging or ruptured discs, the cushions between the vertebrae.
   Your Spinal cord is your nervous system's main pathway from your brain to the rest of your body.  Discomfort in other areas, such as pain in your toes, headache, even colitis, often can be traced to pinched, irritated or stretched nerves in your spine.  Injury to muscles that support your spine or ligaments connecting vertebrae affect natural movement. Dr. Stump will identify the root cause of your pain and provide the natural solution.
   Often a chiropractic adjustment will take care of the problem.  In other cases, a sequence of therapies is recommended to relieve symptoms, eliminate stress and enhance the recovery process.

 

 

Moist Heat

Applying heat to the skin surface temporarily relieves spasms, muscle tightness and symptoms associated with chronic pain.  Stump Chiropractic uses warm moist heat, called hot pack therapy.  As the heat raises the temperature of soft tissue beneath the skin, it also enlarges the blood vessels and increases circulation.
   Superficial heat is an easy, effective way to increase circulation, flexibility, range-of-motion and help speed the healing process.

Yoga

Yoga is the physical, mental and spiritual practice which originated in India, meaning union. The union is the combination of the body with the mind. It has been practiced for thousands of years helping people achieve vitality, flexibility and restoring self. Yoga can be performed at any stage of life and for any body type. "Yoga adds years to your life, and life to your years."
