Your Chiropractic Treatment at Guedea Chiropractic, in San Pedro, CA 

Your chiropractic adjustment at Guedea Chiropractic will be adaptive to your specific needs, tolerance and comfort. The traditional techniques of chiropractic such as Gonstead, Diversified and others are used here at Guedea Chiropractic. These types of techniques often require manual manipulation by using forces applied by the chiropractor. One common adjustment of these techniques involves you laying on your side while the doctor manually adjusts the spine by applying a quick thrust to restore motion in a specific joint or segment of the spine. Patients will typically hear a “pop” or “crack” sound followed by some relief. For most patients, this type of technique is very effective.

If you are not keen on anything involving manual adjustments, a doctor at Guedea Chiropractic can use other techniques that minimal forces are applied, for example, having you lay face down (prone) or lay on your back (supine) while the doctor places SOT (Sacral Occipital Technique) wedges or blocks that can passively reposition and realign your pelvis and lower back without applying heavy forces. This technique uses your own weight as you relax while adjusting over a set time.

After your chiropractic adjustment, the doctor may apply physiotherapies or muscle stimulation techniques to reinforce your chiropractic adjustment. The doctor will also review the exercises or stretches you may need to perform during your visit or at home.
