Chiropractic Care
Rebuild, Recover, and Restore Your Active Life
Experience lasting relief and improved wellness with expert chiropractic care from Manus Health.
Chiropractic is a form of care concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially of the spine.
Chiropractic can be considered main steam, complementary and/or alternative. We do focus on manipulation of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. Its founder, D. D. Palmer, called it "a science of healing without drugs"
Although a wide diversity of ideas exists among chiropractors, we share the belief that the spine and health are related in a fundamental way, and that this relationship is mediated through the nervous system.
At Manus Health we lean toward the “Mixed” Chiropractic belief system. We believe that a subluxation is one of many causes of disease, and are open to mainstream medicine. We incorporate mainstream medical diagnostics and employ conventional treatments including techniques of physical medicine such as exercise, stretching, massage, ice packs, electrical muscle stimulation, therapeutic ultrasound, and moist heat. We also use techniques from alternative medicine, including nutritional supplements, acupuncture, homeopathy, herbal remedies, and biofeedback.
Benefits of Regular Chiropractic Adjustments
Routine chiropractic care helps maintain spinal and joint health, preventing recurring pain and improving overall mobility. Regular adjustments keep the body aligned, reduce inflammation, and promote healing, offering long-term relief from neck, back, and joint issues.
Types of Pain: Acute vs. Chronic
Pain can be categorized as acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term). Acute pain often results from a specific injury, whereas chronic pain may persist beyond normal healing time or arise from ongoing issues like poor posture. Chiropractic care provides relief for both types by focusing on the underlying causes.
Muscle Pain
Almost everyone will experience muscle pain in the neck at some point in their lives, this can be from sports to motor vehicle accidents. Even something as simple as sleeping can cause you to wake up with muscle pain. This type of pain is not generally serious and will clear up with 1-2 treatments of physical medicine and Chiropractic care. General maintenance care will prevent this pain from happening in the first place. Posture, exercise, sleep, ergonomics can also affect your neck muscles and can be addressed by Dr. Ramsey during your visit.
Nerve Pain
Nerve pain will happen to about 50% of the general public. In most cases, the nerve is fine but the disc material will push against the exiting nerve from your spine and cause pain to travel from the neck to and down your arm. In some cases, neck pain in not a symptom. Other symptoms include numbness in the fingers or weakness in the muscles of the arms and hands. Physical medicine and Chiropractic care will help or cure many of these cases. Other treatments that can be performed may include traction and/or decompression. An MRI is essential in confirming this type of pain pattern.​​
Bone Pain
Most bone pain will be associated with a fracture, osteophyte formation (bone spur) and or arthritis. Many older patients will have more stiffness than pain if arthritis is suspected. Some patients will have restricted segments of the spine that will need to be adjusted by Dr. Ramsey, you will hear an audible “pop”. This will be very gentle with no pain. You will then be able to move more freely with less pain. Regular Adjustments will help prevent or slow the aging process and allow you to move freely. Pathology/Infection – Most patients will not fall into this category. Dr. Ramsey has many years of experience to detect any red flags that may be associated with a severe and serious neck condition.
