WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?

Chiropractic, the largest natural healing art in America, is a drug-free and surgery-free way to treat various health conditions. Chiropractic is the realigning of the vertebra of the spine to their proper positions, thus providing proper nerve flow to the organs, muscles, and tissues of the body.

Participation in sports (whether contact or not) causes tremendous stress to the body. When a vertebra or joint of one of the extremities becomes misaligned, it creates pressure on the nerves, a loss of mobility, and oftentimes pain. The end result is diminished performance.

A Chiropractor is the only healthcare professional specially trained to realign the vertebrae of the spine and the joints of the extremities. This realigning, technically termed an 'adjustment', helps to mobilize restricted joints, increase nerve flow, and decrease pain, thus enhancing performance.

An athlete who is unable to participate in his or her sport due to pain or injury, must know where to run for the most effective treatment. The most effective treatment is one that is non-invasive and drug-free. One that will enhance the body's healing, rather than hinder it. Only a Chiropractor can provide that treatment.
Using the latest techniques for evaluation, diagnosis and treatment, Dr. Robert DeStefano provides complete Chiropractic care and Active Release Techniques treatment for athletes of all ages and levels of participation. Through education and personal experience, the doctor is well versed in the treatment of disorders of the back and neck, as well as the extremities and joints, caused by athletic injury and stress.

Seeing Dr. DeStefano immediately after an injury, or at the first sign of pain, will guarantee proper treatment of your condition. If, after a Chiropractic examination, the doctor feels that yours is not a Chiropractic case, he will refer you to a colleague, as he works hand-in-hand with other healthcare professionals in the area.

So, a Chiropractic examination is the proper treatment to seek after an athletic injury. Dr. DeStefano provides treatment at THE DE STEFANO CHIROPRACTIC CENTER. We are proud of our reputation for providing excellent care in treating sports related injuries, and in maintaining strength and health in all athletes - from the pee-wees to pros.

-Although sports injuries are Dr. Destefano's specialty, he does treat many non-sports related injuries as well.
