Palo Alto and Los Altos Chiropractic Care

Chiropractor Dr. Reimer helps patients throughout Los Altos and Palo Alto achieve healthy spines with chiropractic care. The natural, correct alignment of the spine is critical to good health because it affects how the central nervous system functions. From the earliest moments of development in the womb, the central nervous system takes charge of the rest of the body's development, growth and functions. The brain communicates to the rest of the body via the spinal cord that goes through the spinal column and then out to the rest of the body through the nerves. When the spine is properly aligned, the central nervous system has the power to keep the body healthy and initiate internal healing when necessary.

A million little and big things can shift the spine out of its natural curvature, however. Car accidents, trips and falls and sports injury situations are just a few things that can suddenly throw the spine out of alignment. Years of slumping over a computer keyboard or sleeping in awkward positions can also cause problems in the spine. When the vertebrae in the spine are misaligned, they can pinch nerves, which can cause pain. Back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other pains are actually symptoms pointing toward a problem rooted in spinal misalignments. This is where chiropractic care comes in.

Our chiropractor has extensive training and experience in diagnosing and correcting spinal misalignments. After a complete exam to determine the location of a subluxation, she can deliver a series of gentle, precise spinal adjustments that help put the spine back into its natural form. Dr. Reimer also has experience with musculoskeletal adjustments to help with knee, shoulder, arm and wrist pain and repetitive stress injuries. Using the Graston technique, she can also diagnose and treat tight, knotted scar tissue in the muscles. Everything works together holistically: healthy, flexible soft tissues support a healthy, aligned musculoskeletal system.

Dr. Reimer also incorporates other healing arts such as massage therapy, exercise and nutrition to holistically support the body's correct posture and natural self-healing mechanisms. Call us today at (650) 949-3232 for more information about any of our techniques!
