Spinal Rehabilitation

How we can help eliminate pain?

Common symptoms of Spinal pain.

Dr. Farinelli's philosophy is to use a combination of chiropractic manipulations along with physical therapy procedures.

Dr. Farinelli has found through years of clinical experience that the most effective way to maintain proper spinal alignment is to strengthen the muscles that specifically support the spine.

Through this combination of chiropractic manipulation to correct alignment and with the simultaneous physical therapy procedures to strengthen muscles the time to recovery is reduced.

• You can't take a satisfying deep breath
• You have to "crack" your neck, back or other joints a lot
• You can't twist or turn your head or hips to either side easily
• You are often fatigued.
• You have poor concentration
• You have low resistance to disease
• Your foot flares out when walking
• One leg appears shorter than the other
• You have poor posture
• You have pain in your arm, hand, shoulder, leg or foot
• You have headaches, back aches, sore or tender spots in muscles or joints.
• You have a constant stressful feeling and tension especially in muscles and joint.
• You feel stiffness in your back and neck.
• You just don't feel right, you are in general poor health.

These symptoms could indicate that there are misaligned vertebra in the back, neck or pelvic area. This imbalance at the vertebral level can accelerate wear and tear on the joints and disks of the spine. This can cause premature degeneration and protrusions of disks. 

• Weak neck extensor or back extensor musculature
• Accidents or injuries
• Emotional stress
• Physiological stress

Left uncared for, these biomechanical stressors will eventually be expressed through the nervous system as pain, numbness, tingling, muscle weakness and restriction of range of motion.
