Dr. Michael Haley of Agape Chiropractic in Pompano Beach
33060 Florida has been a Chiropractor in the Pompano Beach area since
1996. His contemporary office in Pompano Beach is the kind of
place people like to go to just hang out before and after their
appointment. Many come just for a latte or cup of loose leaf
brewed tea. The office is a learning environment. People
initially come because they have aches and pains; but they leave with a
new way of thinking about their health.
Chiropractic - a system of adjusting the
vertebrae to restore funtional alignment to the spine for the
purpose of restoring normal nerve function.
Chiropractors use a variety of techniques including
manual adjustments done with the hands and usually offer a
variety supportive therapies including massage, ultrasound
and EMS. Chiropractors also usually offer
supportive advice including nutritional, posture and
functional exercises, strengthening exercises, stress management, and
modifications to activities of daily living.
People go to chiropractors for many reasons from severe
pain to wanting to perform better in sports or even as a way to
maintain better health. The most common reasons people discover
chiropractic are low back pain, neck pain, and headaches.
Low back pain can be debilitating. Sometimes the
pain radiates into the buttocks, thigh, leg, and foot. At times,
it can be soo bad that there is numbness on the skin and the muscles
can be weaker than normal. Chiropractic can often be used
alone. At times, the chiropractor may choose to coordinate care
with an orthopedic physician, neurologist, physical therapist, or other
health care professional.
Like low back pain, pain from the neck can also radiate
into the the arms and hands, upper back, and even mimic pains that
could be mistaken for a heart attack! Often times people who
go to the ER are eventually redirected to the chiropractor.
Chiropractors see patients everyday for these same symptoms.
There are many kinds of headaches. The most common
headaches, tension and migraines, seem to respond quite well to
chiropractic treatments. These types of headaches are often
caused by stress and tension. Chiropractic treatments improve
spinal function by removing tension and stress in the spine.
