Frequently Asked Questions
How do you determine the number of sessions a patient will need for effective treatment?
The number of sessions a patient will need for effective treatment is determined during the consultation and after looking at x-rays. Every patient is unique and requires a specific game plan for their problem.
What specific techniques do you use for spinal adjustments, and how do they differ from one another?
Our office primarily uses hands on adjusting techniques and we adjust the whole spine as well as extremity joints such as the shoulder, wrist, hip or knee.

Our office has a certified massage therapist on site. Massage therapy can compliment your chiropractic care.
Chiropractic Care: The Secret to Better Posture
Hello everybody, this is Dr. Aaron Seaton with The Chiropractic Place. Today's video is about improving your posture. This is a question I get pretty much daily from my patients about what things can they do to make their posture better. We know that poor posture when we're forward and in a bad posture, it can create more pain in the spine and our neck can lead to headaches, chronic back pain.
We can feel fatigued. And we've also seen in peer-reviewed studies that poor posture, especially kind of going into this rounded posture can affect organ function. It can affect a number of different things.
So having a healthy posture helps not only with back pain and neck pain, but it helps our organs work better. It helps our lungs get more air in. So there's a number of different benefits to having good posture.
So one of the best things you could do to help with your posture is make sure you're getting daily exercise , lifting some weights, going to the gym, training at some kind of level is going to stimulate your postural muscles, which is indirectly going to help with your posture and help keep you strong and more upright. So stimulating those muscles is important. Number two, we have to avoid sitting too much.
If you have a desk job, if there is a sit-stand option for you, I would take that because instead of just sitting at the desk all day, you can be standing for some of that time and kind of rocking back and forth using your computer, stimulating your muscles and keeping your joints and your muscles moving. That will help improve your posture. This is a big one. Video games. I'm seeing this not just in children, but in young adults who grew up playing a lot of video games. That is really changing people's spinal curvatures.
It's really affecting their posture. So this again is linked to sitting too much, being sedentary, not stimulating these postural muscles, keeping yourself strong as you grow and it's having a major effect on people's posture, their neck pain, their back pain, not just video games, but also cell phone use would fall into this. People are constantly looking down at their phones. It is affecting the curves of your spine and longterm can lead to early signs of arthritis in the spine. So avoiding overdoing this is very important and last but not least, chiropractic care can really help improve your posture. Getting your spine adjusted, resetting those joints, giving them full range of motion.
Most people under chiropractic care, notice better range of motion, better posture, decreased pain, better quality of life. So having some consistency with your chiropractic care can also greatly improve your posture. I'm Dr. Aaron Seaton with The Chiropractic Place.
