Chiropractic Care in Platte City

Chiropractic care is a natural healthcare approach focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. It is based on the idea that proper motion of the spine and other joints is crucial for overall health and well-being. Chiropractors, who are healthcare professionals trained in this field, use hands-on techniques to treat a variety of conditions, with an emphasis on spinal health. Chiropractic has been shown to be effective and safe for all ages from newborn to seniors.

Improving your Health through Chiropractic

As Chiropractors our jobs are to find restricted/dysfunctional joints in the spine and body which we call subluxations. These areas not only reduce motion that can cause onset of arthritis but can put interference on your nervous system causing your body to give off pain signals and keep your body from fully functioning correctly. Dr. Guthrie and Dr. Binkley are trained to find these subluxations and help explain how to correct them and improve your overall health as well.

Our bodies are self healing and self regulating, so when we start to experience pain and other symptoms this means our bodies are not as healthy as they need to be. That is where chiropractic care can make the difference! Here are some common conditions we see at Guthrie Chiropractic:

Adjusting Styles and Tools

Dr. Guthrie and Dr. Binkley use a hands on approach that utilizes many different chiropractic techinques known as Diversified. It is one of the most commonly used techinques by chiropractors around the world. Some of the techinques utilized within the Diversifed Techinque at Guthrie Chiropractic include but are not limited to Thompson Drop Tables, Activator, MPI and some forms of Dry Needling.

Activator - While hands on adjusting may not be advised for some elderly patients or for patients that may be nervous about pressure used during adjusting, the Activator tool is a great option. It is a small tool used to deliver specific and light adjustments to problem areas to restore motion and relase muscle tension without the excess pressure.

Muscle Tension is also a culprit when it comes to condtitions effecting our Musculoskeletal system. That is why Dr. Guthrie & Dr. Binkley also utilize therapeutic massage guns to release that muscle tension before each adjustment to help make your adjustment and experience more comfortable and less painful.
