Cary Chiropractic Care

Adjustments from one of our Cary chiropractors are an extremely effective and safe way to treat back pain. Our patients who receive chiropractor adjusting may hear a small popping or cracking sound in their back — this is completely normal. As they are stretched, your spinal joints make this sound. Surrounding these joint capsules in your back is tissue fluid. In this fluid are bubbles are other air pockets. The popping sound is the result of the rapid shift of air when the joint opens and the joint tissue stretching when adjusted. It’s hard for you to judge what a chiropractic adjustment can do for you until you give it a try and give it some time to have effect. Learn more about the specifics of our Cary chiropractor techniques by visiting our Cary Chiropractic Care page.

Cary Acupuncture

We can guarantee you the most complete analysis, attentiveness, and treatment of your health through our utilization of acupuncture. Our way of attending to your particular acupuncture needs is gentle, safe for patients of any age, and are time-tested over centuries of continuous practice.

The principles we use with our Cary acupuncture have existed for over 5,000 years. The treatment is rooted in the concept of chi. Just as water flows through a river, chi flows through your body in channels referred to as meridians. Similarly, a large rock may divert or completely block the flow of water, causing a buildup of stagnant water. Learn more about our Cary acupuncture services by visiting our acupuncture page.

Acupuncture Experts

First off we want you to know that acupuncture is done using only needles near as thin as human hair, most report feeling no pain whatsoever. Improper needle placement can cause discomfort but all of our practitioners are highly trained experts who know just how to hit all the right spots. We sterilize every single surface and needle before and after use, that’s part of why visiting a professional is so important we really take care of all the little things. The FDA regulates acupuncture needles just as it does other medical devices under good manufacturing practices and single-use standards of sterility, you can feel comfortable about trying out acupuncture.

Medical Massage Cary

Medical Massage is result-oriented and the treatment is specifically directed to resolve conditions that have been diagnosed and prescribed by a Physician. The focus of the Medical Massage Treatment is ONLY on the areas of the body related to the diagnosis and prescription. Some of the benefits of medical massage include releasing tight and sore muscles, relieving nerve compression or entrapment, and increasing flexibility and range of motion. At Preston Family Chiropractic in Cary, our focus in medical massage is getting YOUR body to its very best. Learn more about our medical massages here.
