Chiropractic Care

Cervical spine X-ray Spinal joints can become restricted and inflamed due to tissue injury. Tissue injury can be caused through normal repetitive stresses on the body such as sitting at a desk with poor posture for extended periods of time or because of some type of physical injury to the body. Tissues that have been injured undergo physical and chemical changes that cause decreased function, inflammation and mild to severe pain. The joints become hypo-mobile as a result of tissue injury.  This causes interference with and irritation of nerve roots that exit the spine which cause more pain and other health problems.

Doctors of Chiropractic are trained to locate these hypo-mobile joints, also called subluxations. Many times patients are surprised to find out that the problem area is not at all where they are actually feeling the symptom of the pain. By providing gentle chiropractic adjustments also called spinal manipulations to these spinal joints, a chiropractor decreases these restrictions and inflammation, restoring nerve function and proper biomechanical spinal motion.  The Doctors of Chiropractic at Total HealthCare use many different adjusting techniques, including manual or "hands on" procedures.

Dr. Eskander (M.D.) Asks some important questions of interest to Norcross residents - Chiropractor Norcross Dr. Eskander (M.D.) Asks...

How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
Are aches and pains good or bad?
While aches or pains may be unpleasant, they're merely warning signs. As a Norcross chiropractor, I see this all the time. The pain is not the problem! It just means a limitation has been reached and something needs to change. That's when we get to work correcting the underlying cause.
