Gentle Care from a Portland Chiropractor
To the average person it seems like there is only
one form of chiropractic medicine. This is not
even close to the truth. There are the
traditional chiropractors who twist, push, shove,
and crack your back into place. There are
chiropractors who specialize in limited areas of
the spinal column. Then you have the new type of
chiropractor, the gentle chiropractor. Dr. Norman
Price, a Portland chiropractor, is one
practitioner of this form of chiropractic care.
It has definite advantages for many people. The
technique uses light touches and gentle shoves
using a special tool to make minor adjustments.
This method of treatment gives the body and mind
time to adjust instead of a sudden change. You
might be imagining how much better this type of
Portland chiropractor might be more effective and
safe for the elderly, infants, pregnant women,
and others with higher risk factors, but it is
just as effective for other people, too.

Treatment without Fear How often have you heard
someone say they are a little fearful of a
chiropractor hurting them with an aggressive
treatment? With this form of gentle chiropractic
medicine those fears are gone. The treatments
are equally effective, but they are gentler on
the body. The techniques require different
strategies from the chiropractor Portland
patients select. It is important to note not all
Portland chiropractors offer this type of
service. Most chiropractors are trained in the
standard forms of adjustment and stick with it.
The new forms of treatment are quickly becoming
a favorite among patients due to less after
treatment soft tissue pain, less fear, and equal
improvement in their condition.

Chiropractic Treatment for all Ages Do you have a
family member you have avoided taking to a
Portland chiropractor due to their age or
condition? In most cases you can now eliminate
those fears. The gentle treatment procedures
are enjoyed by senior citizen in their seventies,
eighties, and beyond. Pregnant women appreciate
this gentle touch, too. They can seek out relief
from the back pain associated with pregnancy
without all the fears of hurting their own body
or their baby. Gentle chiropractic procedures
require many of the same preliminaries as other
forms of chiropractic treatment. Your
chiropractor in Portland will want to get an
x-ray to verify your spinal condition. They will
plan out a treatment plan and then start the
first treatment. In many situations the
chiropractor recommends a therapeutic massage
prior to the actual treatment to aid in releasing
soft tissues and relaxing the client. With
traditional forms of chiropractic treatment it is
not uncommon to see the patient flinch as the
doctor starts the manipulation. With a gentle
chiropractor you may find the patient on the
verge of falling asleep since the treatment is
much kinder to the body. Make sure when you start
looking for a chiropractor Portland has to offer
to ask what type of treatment they provide.
There is nothing wrong with the older style of
treatment. It is just the fact that a gentle
chiropractor is just as effective without all of
the snaps and pops.
