Hochman Family Chiropractic
Services

Chiropractic care
The practice describes itself as specializing in correcting the body's misalignments, with the goal of making sure the spine and the rest of the body work harmoniously. The office says it will help you develop a plan that requires light stretching, some exercise, chiropractic care and a healthy diet.

Chiropractic adjustments
Also described on the site as chiropractic manipulation, manual manipulation or spinal manipulation. The office explains that an adjustment refers to the manipulation of vertebrae that have abnormal movements and are not functioning properly, and that the goal of treatment is to reduce the subluxation, increase range of motion, reduce nerve irritability and improve mobility. The site notes an adjustment involves high velocity thrusts applied to the vertebra, relieving sensation, discomfort and spasms in the surrounding muscles.

Non-surgical spinal decompression
The office says it offers the latest in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression using the Eurotech DOC Decompression system, which it describes as a simple, non-invasive way to release pinched nerves, muscle tension, cervical and lumbar pain and other related problems. The site states there are no needles or drugs and nothing that enters your body, and calls it a safe alternative to surgery, nerve stimulators and addictive pain killers. Decompression is described as gently stretching the spine to take pressure off the spinal discs so bulging discs can retract back into place.

Diversified technique
The site says the goal of the Diversified Technique is to reduce nerve interference, and that patients are assessed using history and basic orthopedic and neurologic examination, palpation, x-ray, leg checks and reflex procedures. The procedure involves analyzing the full spine and extremities, with most adjustments being manual, high velocity low amplitude, or long lever manipulations.

Shockwave therapy
Described on the site as a non-invasive treatment designed to stimulate healing and reduce pain in injured or chronically inflamed tissues. The office says targeted acoustic waves increase blood flow, promote cellular repair and accelerate the body's natural healing response, and that it is highly effective for conditions such as tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, shoulder pain, knee pain and other musculoskeletal injuries.
