Chiropractor Marquette MI
Align Spinal Care & Functional Wellness
Welcome to Align Spinal Care & Functional Wellness located in Marquette. Chiropractic is one of the most amazing healthcare professions, but very few people understand what it's all about. We are here to help you gain a basic understanding of how our Marquette MI chiropractors can help you and your family.
Chiropractic care is the practice of using spinal alignment to alleviate a wide variety of physical ailments, including muscle strain, neck pain, chronic back pain, and more. This is accomplished by adjusting the position of the spinal column to its proper shape, providing a non-invasive solution for pain relief.
Evaluation
After taking your health history into account, your chiropractor will perform a physical examination. Your chiropractor may feel your spine, joints, and examine your range of motion.
Assessment
A chiropractic exam will be thorough and may include X-rays, orthopedic tests, and neurological tests.
Spinal Exam
To determine what parts of your spine would require chiropractic treatment, your chiropractor will likely use a palpation technique to find what areas of your spine's mobility are restricted.
X-Rays
Many healthcare providers employ the use of x-rays for diagnostic purposes, including chiropractors. They are useful in helping identify the source of a problem, its potential severity, and potentially guiding the course of treatment.
NUCCA Chiropractic in Marquette MI
NUCCA (pronounced “new-ka”) stands for The National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association. It is an organization and highly specialized chiropractic technique leading the way in understanding how the upper neck can impact spinal alignment, posture, chronic pain, migraines & headaches, fluid dynamics of the brain, concussion, facial pain, neurodegenerative disease, TMJ and more.
The NUCCA technique is used by upper cervical chiropractors to restore and optimize health by precisely aligning the head and neck to sustainably balance the body. NUCCA is a very gentle chiropractic technique that involves absolutely no “popping” or “twisting” of the neck or back. The precision of the adjustment allows our upper cervical chiropractors in Marquette to work smarter, not harder. You’ll be amazed at how gentle and precise the adjustment is!
