The most significant aspect of any chiropractic treatment is manipulation of the spine or joints of the extremities. Commonly referred to as an "adjustment", chiropractic manipulation is performed to improve range of motion, increase segmental joint mobility, stimulate joint position sensors, and promote normal function of the central nervous system.
The adjustment is vital in restoring normal joint function and range of motion and improving overall joint health. Dr. Bacon terms his adjusting technique as the "Total Body Assessment".
Chiropractic manipulation is a safe, gentle and effective method for treating neck, mid back and lower back pain in addition to disorders of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle.
Chiropractic is safe for adults and children alike. In fact, getting adjusted on a regular basis in childhood is one of the best things you can do to ensure healthy development.
By restoring normal function to the musculoskeletal system, manipulation allows the nervous system to operate without interference, regulate the various systems of the body, and promote optimal health.
Dr. Bacon and Dr. Wilkie use a unique global functional assessment along with a variety of chiropractic techniques when adjusting their patients, allowing them to tailor treatments to the specific needs and tolerances of each individual patient.
Benefits of Chiropractic
Chiropractic care is best understood as a technique that improves the alignment, mobility, and function of the spine and joints. This enables the nervous system to communicate with the body more efficiently.
Because the spinal column houses and protects the spinal cord, misalignments can interfere with the way nerves send and receive signals. By improving joint motion and reducing muscular tension, chiropractic adjustments may support clearer nerve signaling, better posture, improved mobility, and a reduction in stress responses within the musculoskeletal system.
This is why people often experience relief not only in the area being adjusted, but also in regions influenced by the corresponding nerve pathways.
More than just Pain Management
Beyond relief of back or neck pain, chiropractic care can play a broader role in supporting autonomic balance, circulation, and neuromuscular function.
Remember that chronic stressors can be emotional, physical (due to training), infectious, or chemical (due to food or exposures).
When the nervous system is under chronic tension, the body may shift toward a sympathetic “flight-or-fight” state. This can influence blood pressure, muscle tone, and even recovery from daily stress.
Chiropractic adjustments that help reduce spinal tension may encourage a more balanced autonomic response. This may support:
- more efficient blood flow,
- better breathing mechanics, and
- more natural parasympathetic (relaxed) activity.
Many people use chiropractic preventive care in the same way they maintain dental or nutritional health—regular tune-ups that help maintain range of motion. This strategy reduces strain patterns before they become symptomatic, and supports the coordination of muscle activity, posture, balance, and whole-body communication.
You don't need a problem to use Chiropractic
Taking care of your spine through regular chiropractic care helps athletes and active individuals move with greater efficiency, balance, and power. When the spine moves correctly, the nervous system can coordinate muscles more precisely, allowing faster reflexes, stronger stabilization, and better force generation—all key to high athletic performance.
Keeping the joints mobile also reduces wear and tear, supports healthy posture, and helps prevent the compensations that lead to overuse injuries.
For people of every age, a well-functioning spine supports better breathing, circulation, and lymphatic flow, which are essential for immune resilience. Children, adults, and seniors alike can experience better mobility, strength, and recovery when the nervous system is communicating clearly through a healthy spine.
