If you’re suffering from chronic pain, tension, or headaches in East Rockaway, NY, Dr. Philip Gura offers effective spine adjustments and other beneficial treatments to help you achieve a pain-free life.

Importance of Spine Adjustments

Your spine is an intricately designed system that supports the weight and movement of your entire body. If it becomes injured or damaged in any way, it can cause issues from the tip of your head to the soles of your feet.

It might help to imagine the foundation and structure of a home. When they are built and placed well, they can support you and your family as well as your possessions and more. However, if a crack develops, it can cause the home to lean, the floors to become uneven, the walls to crumble, the roof to leak.

Issues in the spine can impact your body in a similar way. The vertebrae – the bones that make up the spine – can become misaligned. Once this occurs, muscles, nerves, and ligaments can all be damaged, which can lead to pain, tension, lack of mobility, an uneven gait, and more. And each of these issues can lead to other potential issues.

Spine adjustments are utilized to ensure every vertebra is put into and remains in its proper place. In doing so, these adjustments help keep undue pressure off of the joints, nerves, muscles, and more to promote overall health.
