From back and neck pain to headaches; from sports injuries to wellness check ups – millions of people around the world have experienced the benefits of chiropractic care. Chiropractic care can offer a complete wellness approach to maintaining a healthy lifestyle without the use of drugs or surgery.

Chiropractic is a primary health care profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system. The effects of these disorders on general health and quality of life are the prime focus of a chiropractic doctor.

Chiropractic care facilitates the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Every chiropractor has his own way of practicing, of blending techniques with a personal touch. Dr. Berenstein practices a diversified system involving hands-on manual therapy including spinal adjustments. An adjustment is a specific force applied to a 'misaligned' or locked joint to correct its position and movement. Correcting the joint function will free spinal motion, reduce the associated muscle tension, and remove nerve interference.

For cases where manual adjusting is not appropriate or where the patient is uncomfortable with this technique, Dr. Berenstein utilizes alternative techniques to manage patients’ conditions. The use of an 'activator' instrument to deliver a quick adjustment directly to the joint is often a comfortable and effective alternative. Gentle joint mobilizations are also used, as well as soft tissue techniques such as trigger point therapy and myofascial release techniques. Furthermore, Dr. Berenstein uses Laser Therapy as another alternative. This state-of-the-art technology blends with the chiropractic philosophy by supplying the body with laser energy which assists the body to heal itself naturally. With all of the above techniques, no ‘crack’ is heard and the body is not pressed or twisted. Overall, there is a chiropractic technique suited to every individual’s comfort level.
