Chiropractor
Chiropractors specialize in the health of the spine and neuro-musculoskeletal system, with advanced knowledge of spinal imbalance & its affects on the function of the nervous system, movement patterns, and overall wellbeing. Chiropractors are mostly known for their excellent results with back pain, neck pain and headaches.
Dr Petrick’s dedication to your health starts with a detailed history and examination (including orthopedic, neurological and X-ray analysis), as well as an understanding on your lifestyle and health goals. Once a working diagnosis and a management plan are established, treatment includes gentle manual spinal adjustments and other joint & soft-tissue manipulation, as well as advice on habit changes (usually postural), and exercises, in order to restore your body to its optimal function.
