Functional Rehabilitation allows us to evaluate your condition in light of dysfunction in the entire locomoter system. This simply means that one area of the body may be painful due to another part not functioning optimally. It is also a highly ethical way to practice because it reduces patient dependency on passive pain-relieving approaches, such as pills or even continued chiropractic care, while teaching patients the self-treatment techniques needed to develop control over their symptoms.

By focusing on functional restoration (instead of only promotion of pain reduction), we can now achieve quicker and more lasting results with adjustments and treatments, because we are addressing the underlying cause of most pain syndromes. The rehabilitation model has clearly established itself as a cornerstone of musculoskeletal medicine in the future.

Chiropractors are without a doubt leaders in musculoskeletal medicine. The Rehabilitation paradigm gives us a tremendous opporunity for symptom and pain resolution.
