Fairview Chiropractic Care

The Basics of what We Do at our Fairview Chiropractic Clinic

Chiropractic techniques are used to treat all neuromusculoskeletal conditions. This means that chiropractors like our own Dr. Hubbell are trained to treat problems involving

• Nerves
• Muscles
• Joints
• Bones 

All pain is transmitted through nerves, so any compression of the nerve along the nerve pathway (commonly known as a “pinched nerve”) can be identified and treated through chiropractic adjustments, traction therapy or other methods in our Fairview chiropractic clinic.  

Back pain and joint pain is often caused by misalignments or restriction of movement in that joint. Chiropractors both realign the joints and restore normal motion through chiropractic adjustments.  When alignment and normal motion is restored, the pain goes away.

The Relationship between Muscle Pain and Joint Pain

Some patients will say “I think is just a muscle thing, so how can an adjustment of my joint help?”

Every muscle is attached to at least two different bones in your body. Muscles work by contracting and allowing the bones to come closer to each other. When you grip your steering wheel it’s because your finger bones have come closer to each other, because your muscles hold them closer. When you open your grip, it is because muscles on the backside of your fingers and wrist and arm pull the bones away.

Sometimes muscle spasms keep the bones too close and do not allow for the free motion in the joint. Adjusting the joints allows the muscles to relax so joints move easier and you have less pain. Dr. Hubbell will do a thorough exam based on your specific health issues, and offer treatment options for you.

At Springwater Chiropractic we can often treat you the same day as your initial exam if you choose. We serve Fairview, Gresham, Wood Village, Troutdale, and surrounding areas with quality Fairview chiropractic care.

Chiropractic Adjustments and Chiropractic Manipulation

Back pain and joint pain is often caused by misalignments or restriction of movement in that joint.  Chiropractors don’t just realign the joints, but also restore normal motion through adjustments.  When alignment and normal motion is restored, pain often goes away.

Dr. Hubbell is trained in several forms of chiropractic adjusting.  Most of the time he uses a manual or hands-on adjusting method. Depending on the patient’s preference and the particular characteristics of the patient such as age and area of injury, he also uses drop table adjusting or instrument adjusting (i.e. an activator).

Methods of Fairview Chiropractic Care at Springwater Chiropractic

A chiropractor doesn’t just do adjustments – there is a wide variety of treatment techniques we use to bring relief and optimal life to our patients.

Interferential Current Therapy

Interferential current therapy uses an electric current to stimulate and treat muscles deep in the body. This treatment modality is used to address:

• Circulatory and muscle disorders
• Stiff joints
• Joint injuries
• Edema
• Inflammation
• Muscle spasms

Therapeutic Exercise

Therapeutic exercises are specific exercises meant for correcting specific problems. Additional objectives of therapeutic exercise include:

• Increasing mobility
• Releasing contracted muscles, tendons, and fascia
• Mobilizing joints
• Improving circulation
• Improving respiratory capacity
• Improving coordination
• Reducing rigidity
• Improving balance

Traction Therapy

Traction is used to reduce the pressure on a joint. This can relieve pain from bulging disks, sprains, and spasms.
