CHIROPRACTIC CARE
What is chiropractic care?
At Ikigai Wellness, we believe in supporting the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Chiropractic care is a gentle, non-invasive approach that focuses on restoring balance to the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. By addressing misalignments in the spine and joints, chiropractic treatments can help relieve pain, improve mobility, and promote overall well-being.
Chiropractic care centers on the relationship between the spine, nervous system, and overall health. When the spine or joints are misaligned, it can interfere with how the body functions, leading to discomfort, pain, or restricted movement. Chiropractic adjustments correct these imbalances, allowing the body to function more efficiently.
Beyond pain relief, chiropractic care supports better posture, improved circulation, reduced stress, and enhanced energy levels. Dr. Parto Payami tailors care to each individual, combining a variety of techniques to meet your unique needs.
THE ACTIVATOR METHOD
The Activator Method uses a handheld instrument designed to deliver gentle, precise adjustments to targeted areas of the spine or joints. This low-force technique is especially helpful for patients who prefer a more subtle approach, including children, older adults, or those with acute pain.
SPINAL ADJUSTMENTS
Traditional spinal adjustments are at the core of chiropractic care. These hands-on techniques realign the vertebrae, helping to relieve nerve pressure, improve mobility, and restore balance throughout the body. Spinal adjustments can be effective for back pain, neck pain, headaches, and posture concerns.
EXTREMITY ADJUSTMENTS
Chiropractic care isn’t just for the spine. Extremity adjustments focus on the joints of the arms, legs, hands, and feet. Misalignments in these areas can contribute to pain, limited mobility, or issues with walking and athletic performance. Adjusting extremities can improve function and relieve discomfort in shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles.
CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on technique that works with the subtle rhythms of the craniosacral system—the membranes and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This therapy encourages relaxation, reduces tension, and supports the nervous system. It can be beneficial for stress, headaches, sleep issues, and overall nervous system regulation.
NEURO-EMOTIONAL TECHNIQUE (NET)
NET recognizes the connection between mind and body, addressing unresolved emotional patterns that may contribute to physical pain or stress. Using a combination of muscle testing and gentle chiropractic techniques, NET helps release these patterns, promoting emotional balance and physical well-being.
Chiropractic Care for Babies & Children
Children can benefit greatly from chiropractic care. From birth through adolescence, a child’s body is growing rapidly, and small misalignments can impact comfort, development, and overall health. Gentle, age-appropriate adjustments for babies and kids are both safe and beneficial, helping to support healthy growth, development, and resilience from the very start of life.
Our pediatric chiropractic care focuses on safe, light techniques designed specifically for children. By supporting alignment early in life, we help set the foundation for long-term wellness. Seek chiropractic care for your little one to support them with:
- suckling or breastfeeding problems by reducing tension in their neck and jaw muscles
- support milestones like crawling and walking by improving muscle tone and coordination
- support healthy nervous system function in babies and kids
- support digestion and reduce tummy discomfort from common issues like colic
