What Is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a conservative and natural form of health care that concentrates on maximizing the function of the whole body without the use of drugs or surgery.  Doctors of Chiropractic (D.C.) attempt to get to the cause of a health problem, rather than just treat the symptoms.  They focus especially on the fact that the structure of the body, particularly the spine, has a powerful effect on the underlying nervous system and therefore on virtually every aspect of heal.

Dr. Dubrul uses a gentle form of chiropractic treatment and performs “adjustments” of the spine and extremities. His analysis is very thorough and he will check your structural alignment from head to toe.  He will also address structural issues of your shoulders, forearms, wrists, hips, knees, ankles and feet. The objective of a chiropractic care is to reduce abnormal movement patterns of vertebrae (called "subluxations"), which result in an increased range of motion, reduced nerve irritability and improved function. The idea is to impact the function of the underlying nervous system through the spine, which exists in your neck, middle and lower back.

Techniques Used

In his 16 years of practice, Dr. Dubrul utilizes a variety of different techniques to get the best results possible. If necessary, he uses a small, hand-held Activator instrument to deliver motion into a joint.   Other healing therapies utilized may include trigger point therapy, stretching, physical rehabilitation exercises, and nutritional counseling when needed.  Dr. Dubrul emphasizes compassionate and personalized care, and the treatment will vary for each individual.
