Chiropractic Care
Our Technique
At Destin Chiropractic, we specialize in extremity adjusting. We check for dysfunction in all of the extremities as well as the spine every visit.
Mechanoreceptors are embedded in the tissues surrounding joints, when these tissues get stretched by a misalignment of the joint, this activates an inhibition or weakening of the adjacent muscle. Discovery of these weak muscles and correction of the misaligned joint to restore normal strength.
Why do we treat the whole body
While adjusting the spine is incredibly important, every other joint will impact your spine one way or another.
We're more than just 32 bones in the spine. We use every limb to do basic activities in life and they shouldn't be overlooked or brushed under the rug as if they don't matter.
Athletics and Extremity Adjusting
In the athletic environment, the body is often exerted beyond the normal scope of sound bio-mechanical function. Great athletes push through pain to win or to better their time. It is in these intense moments when the body is very susceptible to injury. Joints in the body can be stressed or harmed, and then ignored due to the nature of the competition. This lack of acknowledgement impairs the proper function of the joint and thus degrades the athletic performance.
