FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The only means that a Spineworks therapist/Chiropractor uses during a session is their hands and the delicate moves they perform with them. All the techniques are based on decompressing the spine and all the fatigued joints, as well as deeply relaxing the muscles that are contracted. One of the most common techniques of Spineworks and Chiropractic & Osteopathy (Ackermann) is called adjustment.

Adjustment is a technique which is skillfully applied with the hands to all the joints of the body by the Spineworks therapist &Chiropractor. For its application a well-established knowledge of the human anatomy and physiology is required.

Adjustments help release the spine and all the joints, by decompressing the spinal nerves that are being pressed. As a result, the body recovers its natural neural function, muscle contractions are reduced and pain in the muscles and joints is eliminated.

Through neural decompression and relaxation of muscle contractions, potential inflammations are reduced. Moreover, adjustments enhance blood circulation (better hematic & lymphatic flow) and also bring back the structural balance of the body. The sympathetic and parasympathetic neural system regains its balance as well.

Spine palpation is necessary, because the Spineworks therapist & Chiropractor is able to understand understand what is exactly happening to the body. Along with the examination, palpation helps to assess the range of motion of each vertebra, where exactly muscle contractions and pain are and their consequences they may have on our body. It is understandable, that all these information cannot be gathered only from a simple X-ray.

No, manipulations do not cause any pain. On the contrary, they are mild, relaxing and beneficial for everyone.

Exactly as in Spineworks and Chiropractic & Osteopathy (Ackermann), the only means that is being used by the Reflexologist is their hands.The moves are delicate and the main techniques used during a reflexology session are static or alternating pressures on the feet and on their nerve endings. Other techniques are applied as well on the rest of the body.

The combination of Chiropractic & Osteopathy (Ackermann), Spineworks and Reflexology has remarkable results. Although each method has a different approach, all of them have the same target, which is to harmonize our body and its systems, considering the needs of each special case.

The results of Chiropractic & Osteopathy (Ackermann), Spineworks and Reflexology depend on many different factors, such as:

• patient’s history
• acute or chronic stage of the problem
• idiosyncrasy
• physical condition
• occupation

Other factors as well may affect the duration of the sessions and their outcomes.

Certainly, from the first sessions already, there is an apparent improvement and reduction of the symptoms of each special case.

Anxiety and stress are caused from various factors such as, the modern urban way of life, work pressure and striving for better results, intense everyday routine, obligations etc.

Chiropractic & Osteopathy (Ackermann), Spineworks and Reflexology contribute to combating stress in the following ways:

• Firstly, through Spineworks and Chiropractic & Osteopathy (Ackermann), decompression of the spine is achieved, as well as reduction of muscle contraction, leading to relaxation and decongestion of the tired and worn-down body.
• Reflexology, with its special pressures on the feet and hands, stimulates thousands of ‘reflex’ nerve endings. Via the peripheral nervous system messages are transmitted to the central nervous system, namely the brain. The aim is not only to activate the self-healing power of the body and help regain its balance, but also an overall relaxation and decongestion.

• What is more, Spineworks, Chiropractic & Osteopathy (Ackermann) and Reflexology aim at balancing the nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic) and relieving the body from pain and discomfort.

  • In conclusion, either combined or separately, all of them have a positive effect against anxiety and stress.

A preventive treatment of Chiropractic & Osteopathy (Ackermann), Spineworks and Reflexology helps the body to preserve its balance and harmony.

It is highly important to know that the problems in our body do not appear within a day, but rather they develop through time. Preventive treatment secures our health until senility!
