Chiropractic is an area of healthcare in which doctors perform adjustments - manipulating the spine or other parts of the body - to correctly align the body's nervous system. Chiropractic does not require the use of medication, drugs, or surgical instruments - it is non-invasive and results in little to no pain.
Chiropractic treatment is like getting an alignment for your car periodically: if your vehicle is out of alignment, the tires will wear unevenly. If your body is out of alignment, you can risk injuries in the long and short term. Regular chiropractic treatment can benefit your lifelong spinal health, but Dr. Ferry also provides treatment for acute pain. It is unwise to seek treatment from someone who is not a trained professional in chiropractic adjustment.
Dr. Ferry provides relief for any number of injuries, accidents, and acute pain. If you are suffering from a workplace injury, sports injury, slip and fall, automobile collision, etc., a chiropractic appointment can help correct misalignment of the spine and prevent further pain.
Yes! Dr. Ferry treats children of all ages and promotes lifelong habits for good spinal health. Dr. Ferry conducts scoliosis screenings as part of regular appointments and may be able to correct curvatures in early stages to avoid the need for back braces or surgery.
Make sure to wear clothing that provides easy access to the spine (i.e. separates) and supportive shoes. You may want to bring a cold pack as you may feel some minor aches and soreness following your adjustment.
