Dr. Kassab's Chiropractic Philosophy

I look at the body from a functional restriction aspect. Patterning and fixing compensations are the key to unlocking the bodies healing and movement potentials.

Everybody deserves to be treated with elite care, just like a professional athlete. Whether you’re prepping for a race or just wanting to be active with your family, everyone deserves to live the life they deserve.

For more than 20 years, I've been working with a wide range of patients, gathering experience from diverse and complicated cases. I look forward to hearing about your goals for health and planning your success together.

What is a Chiropractic Adjustment?

A chiropractic adjustment is a therapeutic treatment where a licensed chiropractor uses their hands or special instruments to manipulate joints in your body. This treatment is also called spinal manipulation or joint manipulation. A chiropractic adjustment can help reduce pain, correct your body’s alignment and how your body functions physically. Chiropractic adjustments offer treatment that complements traditional medical care you receive.

What Does a Chiropractor do?

Chiropractors treat aches, pains, creaks and strains. If you’ve got a problem that involves your musculoskeletal system, a chiropractor can offer alternative methods of treatment that don’t involve prescribing medicine. The most common reasons for a chiropractic adjustment include:

• Lower back pain
• Neck pain
• Muscle pain
• Headaches

Treatment That a Chiropractor May Offer Includes:

• Adjustments: To gently realign joints to decrease pain and increase range of motion.
• Soft-tissue therapy: To relax tight muscles, relieve spasms and release tension in the connective tissue that surrounds each muscle (fascia).
• Exercises and stretches: To restore and maintain joint stability and mobility.
• Joint bracing/taping (Kinesio taping): To support sprained joints or muscles as they heal.
• Referral to  our integrative medical expert: For guidance on diet and nutrition to reduce inflammation and/or promote healthy eating to manage weight.

What Does a Chiropractic Adjustment Treat/Manage?

Each person who seeks a chiropractic adjustment has a unique reason for their appointment, but all chiropractic adjustments treat your musculoskeletal system. Some people choose to have a chiropractic adjustment if they have the following conditions:

• Arthritis
• Frequent headaches
• Healing after an accident or whiplash
• Joint pain and dysfunction
• Lower back pain
• Neck pain
• Sciatica
• Stiff muscles or muscle aches

Chiropractors make sure not only that your joints are moving properly, but also that your surrounding muscles are functioning as well.
