What Are Spinal Misalignments?
Spinal misalignments—also known as vertebral subluxations—occur when one or more vertebrae shift out of proper position. This can place pressure on nearby nerves, muscles, and soft tissue, leading to symptoms like:
- Chronic back or neck pain
- Poor posture and spinal curvature
- Headaches or migraines
- Muscle tightness or spasms
- Limited mobility
- Numbness or tingling in the arms or legs
- Fatigue or difficulty concentrating
Left uncorrected, spinal misalignments can disrupt nerve communication throughout the body and contribute to long-term health problems.
Our Chiropractic Approach to Spinal Misalignments
At Elite Chiropractic Rehab & Wellness, we take a modern, evidence-based approach to correcting spinal misalignments. Our goal is not just pain relief—but lasting spinal health.
1. Comprehensive Assessment
Your journey begins with a thorough exam, including posture analysis, spinal palpation, range-of-motion testing, and, if needed, digital imaging to pinpoint misalignments.
2. Customized Chiropractic Adjustments
We use gentle, targeted spinal adjustments to correct vertebral misalignments, relieve nerve pressure, and restore proper alignment and function.
3. Soft Tissue Therapy
To support realignment and improve mobility, we integrate massage techniques, trigger point therapy, and stretching to loosen tight muscles and reduce inflammation.
4. Postural Rehabilitation & Corrective Exercise
We guide you through strengthening exercises that support proper alignment, prevent relapse, and help you build a healthier, more stable spine.
5. Ongoing Support
We monitor your progress closely, adjust your care plan as needed, and provide education to help you maintain optimal spinal health between visits.

Reduce Pain
Acute and chronic pain can severely impact an athlete’s life, both on and off the field. Most sports pain and discomfort is primarily caused by inflammation, which is what laser therapy helps to relieve. Laser therapy also reduces scar tissue as well as blocks pain that is being transmitted from your nerve cells, which allows you to feel less pain as you recover.
Non-Surgical Treatment
Another key factor to laser therapy is that it is a safer and much less invasive approach to healing and recovery. Unlike traditional surgery where incisions and internal work is needed (which can potentially cause more damage), this form of therapy allows lasers to conveniently penetrate deep into the tissue and provide healing without cutting the body open.
Improve Overall Physical Fitness
Laser therapy plays a significant role in your physical fitness by improving blood flow to your muscles, joints, and ligaments which allow your body to flush toxins more effectively. Also, laser therapy helps to increase the body’s range of motion and decrease nerve sensitivity. All of these factors allow for faster recovery and better overall performance after injury.
