Chiropractor
The fundamental principle of chiropractic medicine is that the alignment of the spine affects the function of the entire body. This system has been in use for over 120 years and has a whole-body or holistic focus. Chiropractic care includes spinal adjustments, but your chiropractor will also make recommendations for exercise, nutrition, and improved health habits to promote sleep and relaxation.
At Back in Motion Chiropractic & Acupuncture, located in Daphne, AL, you’ll find a wide variety of chiropractic services, including acupuncture.
Chiropractic Care – the Basics: The body’s structure influences function, and joint misalignment can pressure nerves and blood vessels. Nerves connected to organ regulation run through the spine, impacting blood pressure, digestion, heart rate, and organ function. Joint misalignment can cause acute or chronic pain, affecting overall body function, which relies on good nutrition, regular exercise, stress relief, and restful sleep.
Chiropractic Services: Proper joint alignment is fundamental in chiropractic care, achieved through manual manipulation or tools like the ArthroStim for precise adjustments. Acupuncture, combined with joint adjustments, is effective for chronic pain, while cold laser expedites healing and reduces pain and inflammation. Other services include heat, cold, ultrasound, massage therapy, posture analysis, and corrective exercises to improve body movement and prevent injuries.
When to See a Chiropractor: Chiropractic care is essential for pain relief, with low back pain and leg joint issues being common reasons for adult visits. Various factors, such as accidents, falls, sports injuries, or repetitive motion, can cause or worsen musculoskeletal pain. Poor posture and incorrect body mechanics may lead to chronic pain over time. Seeking a chiropractor is also recommended for improving nutritional status.

Acupuncture is an ancient healing technique commonly used by Chinese medicine practitioners thousands of years ago. The method involves inserting exceptionally fine needles into specific parts of the body. The needles trigger the release of natural body chemicals like endorphins to relieve pain in your muscles, bones, and joints. With reduced pain, you can enjoy a greater range of motion and function. Acupuncture also improves blood flow to injured areas to expedite your healing.
