Chiropractic Care
What is Chiropractic Anyway?
Chiropractic care focuses on the neuromusculoskeletal system of the body. These bones, muscles and nerves work together to control just about every aspect of functioning. Sometimes the spinal joints become misaligned (called subluxations) and irritate the surrounding nerves, causing pain, muscle spasm or dysfunction. Using specialized techniques, chiropractors correct these misalignments to restore normal functioning.
The Dr. Dayna L. D’Acierno Difference
Most traditional chiropractors rely on manual adjustments (cracking or popping) to manipulate joints back into their proper place. These experiences can be jarring and uncomfortable and the results are often temporary. Dr. D’Acierno has found great success utilizing scientific instruments to provide light but optimal adjustments. Her methods are gentler and more effective.
Impulse IQ
Dr. D utilizes the Impulse iQ – an FDA registered neuromechanical device developed by a mechanical engineer turned chiropractor – to assist in the detection and correction of subluxations. Sensors in the instrument detect movement (or lack thereof) in different segments of the spine and make gentle adjustments until it is restored into its optimum position and function. It is specific, efficient, and painless.
VibraCusser Therapy
The VibraCusser instrument delivers waves of percussive impulses to release muscle tension and increase circulation and lymphatic flow, helping soft tissues to heal more quickly. It is especially effective in stretching the fascia (outer layer of muscle), which is important in restoring the length, mobility, and elasticity of muscles.
Advanced Muscle Therapy and Trigger Points
Rather than performing a quick adjustment and sending a patient off to massage therapy, Dr. D’Acierno prefers to manipulate the muscles herself since she is most aware of the specific areas that will benefit most. By working out tight muscles and trigger points that contribute to poorly functioning joints, patients experience longer lasting relief and accelerated healing.
Chiropractic Adjustments
A chiropractic adjustment can make you feel so much better. Your body does not want to be out of alignment, and that’s exactly what an adjustment can help address. It is also known as chiropractic manipulation, manual manipulation, or spinal manipulation. The adjustment refers to the manipulation of the vertebrae that have abnormal movements and are not functioning properly. A chiropractic adjustment will assist in fixing these issues.
The goal of chiropractic treatment is to reduce the subluxation, increase the range of motion, reduce nerve irritability, and improve mobility. Our compassionate and qualified chiropractor will work with you to relieve this pain and get you back to being pain free every single day.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release is a technique used to alleviate muscle tension by stretching and lengthening the fascia (covering of the muscle), improving blood and lymphatic circulation, and reducing pain by eliminating tight muscle knots The release treatment usually involves the application of gentle or moderate pressure on the connective tissues and leads to relaxation and eventual elongation of the fascia therein. These restrictions are often caused by traumatic accidents or inflammations of the soft tissue. Some patients get them as an after-effect of surgery. They always result in muscular tension and spasm of sharp pain. They cannot be detected through standard diagnosis tests like the x-ray scan. It is essential for a patient to visit a doctor or physiotherapy expert once they notice restriction of movement in the hip area or shoulder. Painful backs can also be a sign of the restriction and can only be treated through the Myofascial Release procedures.
Spinal Screenings
Sometimes all that stands between your daily pain and a happier, healthier you, is a chiropractic adjustment. Your body naturally wants to be in alignment, and our daily activities can throw what is naturally aligned out of balance. Also known as chiropractic manipulation, manual manipulation, or spinal manipulation, chiropractic adjustment refers to the manipulation of the vertebrae that have abnormal movements and are not functioning properly. Here at DLD Wellness, we can help you achieve balance and proper alignment, giving you relief and improving your health.
Our goal in treating your joint and spinal issues is to reduce subluxation, increase range of motion, reduce nerve irritability, and improve mobility. Our highly skilled chiropractor will work with you to relieve your pain and get you back to living a pain free and healthy lifestyle.

X-Rays
One of the most important elements of chiropractic care is diagnostics. Chiropractic radiology is a tool utilized in care as a diagnostic practice to rule out pathology (such as possible tumor or fracture) and/or an additional aid to determine where to adjust the spine. Chiropractors rely on a variety of diagnostic techniques in order to fully understand what is occurring in the patient’s musculoskeletal system, and how a given treatment intervention could bring about positive results in each patient.
