When vertebral segments in your spine become misaligned or "stuck," unable to move correctly, the communication pathway between your body and brain through the nervous system is disrupted. This faulty signal transmission from your body to the brain is called nociception, resulting in pain, reduced mobility, and other dysfunctions.
Through precise spinal adjustments, we can remove these fixations (called vertebral subluxations) in the spine, allowing your body to send accurate information to the brain, overriding the nociceptive pathway, and enabling your brain to process stimuli correctly. This process can be likened to a system reset or rebooting a computer, after which your body's natural healing abilities can take over.
Dr. Phil is skilled in hands-on manual adjusting techniques but offers gentler methods when needed. These techniques include Flexion Distraction, Activator Methods®, ArthroStim®, Diversified, and drop-table adjustments.
At Duval Spine & Rehab, we comprehensively restore proper spinal alignment and movement, ensuring optimal communication between your brain and body. With over two decades of experience, Dr. Phil tailors each treatment plan to every patient's unique needs and goals.
