Chiropractic
In her family based practice, Dr. Sarah Racicot uses chiropractic, acupuncture and soft tissue release therapy and finds this combination helpful in treating both children and adults. She draws on her experience as a personal trainer to further enhance injury rehabilitation treatments. Dr. Sarah looks beyond the problem to address the whole person.
Chiropractic focuses treatment on the source of the pain, not the symptoms. The strains of daily living, injury and poor posture, etc. can misalign the vertebrae, placing pressure on the nerve as it exits the spine. Although the resulting irritation does not always cause pain, it interferes with the messages being sent from the nerve to the organ or muscle. Over time it can alter the function of those particular body parts. A chiropractor's job is to locate and gently adjust the misaligned vertebrae, and by doing so, pressure is removed from the nerve, relieving pain and restoring function to the involved area.
Whether seeking pain relief or health enhancement, Chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the safest, drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for the treatment of headache, neck and back pain. Treatments are tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient, whether child or senior, pregnant woman or athlete.
