Frequently Asked Chiropractic Questions in Roseville CA

Chiropractic care is so much more than just moving bones to provide relief. Because the nervous system is housed within the spine, our impact extends far greater! The nervous system acts as the “air traffic control” of the body – coordinating all other systems. When there is stress, tension or inflammation present, it’s no wonder we see dysfunction in not just the joints and muscles but other organs and systems as well!

Nervous System Dysregulation, Dysautonomia

What makes neurologically focused chiropractic care unique is how we objectively measure stress and tension on the body to provide specific care to each client. Our family chiropractors at Balance Chiropractic Family Wellness Care utilize INSiGHT Scan technology to measure and track how the nervous system is functioning. Since the nervous system controls and regulates every other system in the body, the benefits of neurologically focused chiropractic care are extensive!

Our INSiGHT Scans are a series of safe, non-invasive tests that measure how and where stress is impacting our nervous system. These scans detect areas of nerve interference causing tension, inflammation, and imbalance, then provide easy-to-read documents to monitor results, and provide a clear picture of what's happening on the inside.

This is a big aspect of care at our office; we are the only ones in Roseville CA offering this assessment type!

Daily life presents a number of different stressors - physically, emotionally, or environmentally which can lead to misalignments in the spine, called subluxations. These subluxations can alter brain - body communication, resulting in the signals being less effective or less efficient leading to a number of symptoms...

Our office is proficient in providing numerous chiropractic techniques that can be tailored to each client and their specific needs.

The “popping” or “cracking” sound often heard with an adjustment is the sound of bubbles of nitrogen escaping from within the joint. This is a process known as cavitation.

We don’t recommend it! While it may feel good to make that popping sound yourself, chiropractors are trained to detect and remove the presence of a subluxation. We focus on adjusting specific vertebrae that are misaligned, stuck, and creating neurological dysfunction.

being missed?
