Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractor in Palos Heights: Chiropractic care today is a modern, evidence-based healing art for the non-surgical management of musculoskeletal complaints related to the spine and extremities. Chiropractors look for bio-mechanical imbalances that are the root of the problem of most chronic pain syndromes. Low back pain may come on suddenly, but there is usually an imbalance in another area of the body, that when left unchecked, can lead to pain. Correcting these imbalances as well as making diet and lifestyle modifications are the core of chiropractic treatment.

Typical complaints seen in chiropractic centers include low back pain, neck pain, headaches, ankle sprains, hand pain, wrist pain or pain after injury. Low back pain and neck pain are some of the two most common complaints to be seen in chiropractic clinics. Chiropractors are trained in a unique way diagnose these conditions. At Jonihakis Chiropractic in Palos Heights, Dr. Jonihakis is trained and experienced to rule out any signs that may warrant immediate attention, and will treat it accordingly.

Why You Should Go to a Chiropractor

The chiropractic approach involves determining whether or not the body’s natural structure has caused problems with other areas of your body. These problems occur when changes in the nervous system take place. Structural changes can affect the nerves and the spinal cord by disrupting the normal communication of information between the brain and the body. These communication breakdowns can lead to serious health issues and injury.

I have been seeing Dr. Jonihakis for over 7 years now and can honestly say he is the most impressive compared with several I have seen in the past, even though the others were definitely beneficial in each instance. He has greatly improved my condition after a bad mountain-biking accident which happened about 9 years ago, allowing me to pursue very physical activity I once thought impossible. Perhaps the most impressive adjustment happened recently when he corrected my luxated TMJ (jaw joint) which was causing tremendous pain preventing me from sleeping or thinking clearly. He popped it back into place and the pain instantly evaporated. As a dentist I can truly endorse his abilities and have referred patients to him who I feel can benefit from this expertise. I can also testify to his caring bedside manner and genuine concern for the well-being of his patients.
