The spine is composed of 24 spinal bones that may become "misaligned" causing localized inflammation of muscles and tissues, and irritating the nerves in the region. Chiropractic is the science and art of restoring normal motion and proper position to the misaligned spinal segments in order to reduce inflammation, relieve nerve pressure, and provide symptomatic relief. Dr. Bostaph will conduct a thorough orthopedic examination of the injured areas to determine the best method to correct the problem and provide relief. Chiropractic manipulation may be accomplished using a variety of techniques and Dr. Bostaph, along with the patient, will determine the best approach to realign the spinal segment. Chiropractic adjustments may be accomplished manually, with an instrument, or utilizing a drop table. Since every patient is different, and every injury creates it's own challenges, treatment will be modified to be the best fit for the patient and their specific condition. Dr. Bostaph possesses more than 14 years of experience treating patients using manual manipulation, diversified, Thompson Drop, and activator techniques. In addition, he is well versed in the manipulation of other joints in the body such as the shoulder, knees, feet, elbows, and wrists.
