How WE know when YOU need an adjustment?

May 12, 2016 By Dr. Kevin Lin

The-Neuro-FunctionalScan

How do the doctors at Precision Chiropractic determine when you need to be adjusted?

At Precision Chiropractic, we focus on identifying and correcting Structural Abnormalities in the spine. In particular, in this article we will be talking about how we know when a correction is needed on a day-to-day basis in our office. Using the latest diagnostic tools available we are able to determine the characteristics of the Structural Abnormality.

Allow me to give you an example of what I am talking about: A scientist, when identifying diseases, looks for certain patterns, behaviors, signs, and symptoms. For instance, in diabetes, common red flags are frequent urination, tiredness, lack of concentration, and slow-healing wounds. In addition, tests such as the Fasting Glucose Test, Oral Glucose Tolerance test, and Hemoglobin A1c Test are used to screen and diagnose diabetes.

Similarly, abnormal Structural Shifts have certain patterns, behaviors, signs, and symptoms. Once you understand the disease then you can look for the clues or indicators.

Common Signs and Symptoms include:
1. Headaches/Migraines

2. Neck and Shoulder discomfort and Pain

3. Abnormal Head tilt and/or rotation

For Structural shifts in the spine, there are four primary indicators:
1. Secondary Postural Compensations

2. Abnormal Structural Findings on Digital Spinographs

3. Automatic System Imbalance

4. Friction detected with the NeuroFunctional Scanner

Readings taken with the NeuroFunctional Scanner allow the doctor to detect friction and constriction to the nerves caused by the underlying Structural Shift in the spine. This invaluable high-tech tool allows the doctor to determine whether a patient needs an adjustment, and afterwards, if the adjustment was successful in correcting the Structural Shift.

Unlike conventional chiropractic where spinal manipulations occur on every visit, at Precision Chiropractic, we use the latest advances in technology to ensure that when we make a correction, it’s at the right place and time. This is essential for the stabilization of the spine as well as achieving a long-term solution for our patients.

Would your scab heal if you picked on it every day?

It’s time for a more scientific method.

Call our office and come to one of our introductory presentations or schedule a Complimentary Consultation to find out more about Structural Abnormalities and how they might be affecting your health.

I started seeing Dr. Lin almost two years ago and the difference he has made with my headaches is truly remarkable. I had migraines often when I first started seeing him, and although my headaches haven’t fully subsided that’s partially due the physical position I’m in while doing my work; however, I find going once a week is incredibly helpful and makes it manageable. I can feel when I need an adjustment right away, and I immediately feel better every time. My quality of life has changed and it’s nice to have someone I fully trust that helps keep my head on straight so I can give care to my patients too! I’m grateful to the entire staff for always being so kind, welcoming, and working with my schedule! Thank you 🙏

If you are struggling with cervical, back or shoulders issues I highly recommend Dr. Lin. I am very thankful to have found him. What really sets DrLin apart is his approach to chiropractic care. Rather than the traditional “cracking” or adjustments, he uses a specialized tool, a more scientific targeted approach. I have received tremendous improvement in my back pain. His staff is equally impressive. They are professional, kind and welcoming. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Lin and his team to any one looking for knowledgeable and compassionate chiropractic care.

If you’re pregnant, go see Dr. Lin! He is Webster certified and helped keep my body aligned throughout pregnancy so my baby could stay in an optimal position. A few times she shifted, and after an adjustment she’d be head down again within hours. I even went into labor about two hours after my last adjustment! Dr. Lin is so calm and gentle, and his entire team is wonderful. It honestly felt like visiting friends every week.

Dr Lin and his staff are phenomenal! I originally came in a few years ago with unrelenting vertigo. After treatments to align my C1, no more vertigo. Keeping my neck in alignment set my body on a path to healing that has me feeling healthier than ever. So grateful! Highly recommend!
