It is crucial to maintain optimal structural and neurological balance throughout each developmental period in life so you and your family can not only feel great, but function optimally. As an evidence-based practice, we integrate the best research evidence and clinical expertise to assist you and your family in reaching your wellness goals.

Chiropractic DOES NOT treat or cure any health conditions or symptoms; however, when under regular chiropractic care, both children and adults have experienced improvements and resolutions with things like migraines, neurological conditions, sleep habits, immune system function, quality of life, and more.​ There are also a variety of age-specific conditions that chiropractic has been known to help.

Chiropractic in Rockaway is a natural and safe approach to health for any age, without the use of harmful medications or surgeries. At ADJUST we locate and correct subluxations. By doing so, we can restore proper communication between the brain and body so you can heal from the inside-out. THIS is how true health and wellness is achieved!

While chiropractic has proven to be very effective for back and neck pain management, most subluxations are NOT associated with pain. Additionally, subluxations can appear as early as infancy from the birthing process!

Chiropractic can help all ages!

Pregnant mothers: During pregnancy, a woman's body undergoes a number of changes due to the increase of hormones, weight, and stress (physical and mental). Chiropractic has been shown to reduce labor pain and labor time, as well as prevent dystocia - the leading cause of cesarean delivery. By ensuring proper alignment, chiropractic allows the mom to have an easier, safer, and healthier birth experience. Dr. Marissa specializes in perinatal chiropractic care.

Newborns & infants: Not only is the birthing process difficult on mom, it can also be traumatic for the baby. There is substantial evidence that shows many babies suffer from birth trauma. Birth trauma can lead to neurological dysfunction and issues like: colic, infantile reflux, constipation, suckling difficulties, ear infections, sleep issues, and decreased immune system, and more. While chiropractic does not "cure" anything, it is designed to allow your baby to self-heal, without drugs or surgery. To learn how chiropractic can help your baby, click HERE.

Children: At this age, children begin to face new physical, mental, and emotional stressors - sports, homework, carrying a backpack, sitting at a desk for long periods, and more. All these things can have a negative effect on the nervous system. This age range is also when we begin to see issues such as ADHD, allergies, asthma, autism, bed wetting, and more. Chiropractic is a drug-free, safe and effective way to approach common health issues seen in this age group, as well as help them grow up healthy without dangerous medications.

Teenagers: Teenagers are notorious for developing poor posture from constant texting, prolonged computer use, hours practicing musical instruments, and carrying heavy backpacks. These young adults also tend to have sports related injuries and high levels of social stress. Chiropractic can help correct your teen's posture, prevent/correct scoliosis, reduce inflammation from injuries, boost the immune system, improve concentration, reduce irritability, enhance coordination, and much more!

Adults: Many adults develop health issues from sedentary habits or from repetitive motions, like sitting at a desk for hours on end. Some adults have had subluxations since childhood that are only now manifesting as pain or other health issues. Not only have many adults avoided back surgery through chiropractic, studies show regular chiropractic care may normalize blood pressure, improve bowel regularity, and reduce stress. To learn more about the most common adult health conditions and how chiropractic can help, contact us.

Seniors: As people age, mobility tends to decrease. As joint mobility decreases, overall health can rapidly decline. Chiropractic can keep your seniors mobile as well as improve their balance and coordination so they are less prone to a falls and injuries. Additionally, chiropractic can reduce symptoms of arthritis, slow or even reverse joint degeneration, and significantly improve quality of life.
