Y-Strap Adjustment in La Quinta CA
Will a Y-strap, or mechanical long-axis chiropractic adjustment benefit you?
At our clinic we've used this technique long before it was popular on YouTube, which is effective for specific conditions. However, it's far from a size fit's all approach, which is why we do not offer a y-strap adjustment for every chiropractic patient.
What is the y-strap adjustment in la quinta CA?
It comes from an axial or Y-axis pull on the body, a quick traction adjustment of the cervical spine. Essentially a strap grabs onto the base of the skull (occiput), and the lower half of the body is stabilized. Then, when the muscles relax, the cervical spine has a relatively quick traction adjustment.
Patients who benefit from the y-strap adjustment
- Scoliosis Patients: with the combination of rotation and loss of cervical curves, these patients respond very well to these treatments.
- Chronic Headaches, Migraines & Occipital Pain: could be relieved with these treatments.
- Chronic Neck Pain: that doesn't respond to traditional chiropractic care.
If you are a candidate for this treatment, your provider will recommend it. It's included in your chiropractic visit and provided on a case-by-case basis.
