Kick off your shoes (we have ones for you), lay down on the table, and RELAX!!

At the Amato Chiropractic Center, we take chiropractic seriously and know that it can help you achieve the health you deserve. Chiropractic is a natural alternative to health care. Dr. Phil removes subluxations (the incomplete or partial dislocation of a bone in a joint.) to improve the alignment of your spine and allow free-flowing communication of your cells from your brain to the various parts and organs in your body.

The first feature is a very particular way of locating and characterizing subluxations. This involves “leg length checking,” in which the chiropractor carefully compares the relative lengths of the patient’s legs while the patient is lying face down on a special, comfortable, adjusting table. The patient is asked to move certain body parts in certain ways. For example, turning the face one way and then the other; places stresses on related areas of the spine.

When a subluxation is present in the area being tested, the movement causes an abnormal reaction in that area which leads to tightening of associated muscles. Muscles on one side of the body contract and shorten relative to the other side, and the chiropractor can detect this by noting a shortening of one of the legs relative to the other. The chiropractor uses these tests to determine which areas of the body, particularly the spine, need adjusting at any particular time. Once a subluxation is determined a small gentle force is applied to the joint.
