- Chiropractic AdjustmentsDr. Todd Gladieux has been in practice for over 25 years specializing in the field of spinal bio-mechanics and pain relief. One of our primary goals is to correct misalignment of the spine due to postural changes that were either brought on gradually over time or traumatically induced (i.e. auto accidents and work injuries). At our office we emphasize the importance of structure and function and it's effect on the nervous system. A healthy functioning nervous system means a healthy functioning person, free of pain and disease. We also recognize the importance of good nutrition, exercise, and rest. Dr. Gladieux uses several chiropractic adjusting techniques and physiotherapy (when needed). A unique point about the precision procedures used in our office is the program of general and specific corrective exercises which are prescribed to each patient and which will enable the patient to maintain more of a permanency in his or her chiropractic adjustments. This allows the patient to take an active role in their care and to help rehabilitate the surrounding spinal soft tissues. Having the doctor and the patient working together will establish a more normal mechanical and physiological functioning of the entire spine.
- SubluxationChiropractic is the Science, Art and Philosophy that concerns itself with the restoration of good health by restoring and maintaining a properly functioning nervous system, without the use of drugs or surgery. Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your body is a self-regulating, self-healing organism. These important functions are controlled by the brain, spinal cord, and all the nerves of the body. The skull protects the delicate tissues of the brain. The moving bones of the spine protect the vulnerable communication pathways of the spinal cord and nerve roots. If the nervous system is impaired, it can cause malfunction of the tissues and organs throughout the body. Doctors of Chiropractic call this the Vertebral Subluxation Complex. The Chiropractic adjustment has been proven to increase motion, increase circulation, reduce swelling and pain, and remove nervous irritation. Once this nervous irritation is removed, your body is able to do what it is designed to do - heal itself.
