The Chiropractic office of Dr. Marta Callotta

Chiropractic care at Long Beach Spine and Rehabilitation begins with thorough examination of the spine and the associated joints, muscles and nerves that are attached to or emanate from the spine.

In order to make the most efficient diagnosis, which leads to the most efficient care, all five sections of the spine are evaluated for abnormal movement, fixations, injuries, and alignment, which may produce an abnormal movement of a section of the spine. These sections are called a motor unit, and these abnormal movements or fixations are called subluxations.

Your muscular structures are then evaluated and a treatment plan will be discussed, which will include chiropractic adjustments to correct the abnormal movement of the motor units, physiotherapy techniques (if necessary) to alleviate any discomfort and to expedite healing, and rehabilitation techniques, including working with our state of the art equipment, exercise, and range of motion training. Neuromuscular re-education to retrain injured muscles and ligaments will also be included if necessary.

Chiropractic adjustment to correct subluxations are our main mode of treatment and are the alternative to taking drugs or surgery. Here at Long Beach Spine and Rehabilitation, we see the spinal adjustment as the best method for care if your condition warrants treatment. We mostly use manual adjusting techniques which are generally painless and comfortable to tolerate.

Exercise and retraining of injured or weak muscles and ligaments can be done with many methods and our rehabilitation area provides many different ways to rehab your body back to its optimum state.
