The word "chiropractic" comes from the Greek words cheir (hand) and praxis (action) and literally means "done by hand." Instead of prescribing drugs or performing surgeries, chiropractors use manual treatments of the spine and joints, along with therapies and lifestyle changes to allow the body's natural state of health to fully express itself. Here are some of the manipulation techniques you may come across at a chiropractic office.

Active Release Techniques
When there is damage to muscles and other soft tissues including pulls, tears, or not being able to get enough oxygen (hypoxia), it can result in the body producing rough, thick scar tissue in the affected area. Scar tissue restricts the tissues from moving freely because they bind them and tie them

Testimonials
Reviews By Our Satisfied Clients
"Fedesna Chiropractic in Austin, TX is where I go for all my joint needs. Dr. Dave is super smart and very professional as he makes adjustments to my back, neck and hips. He takes the time to listen to my aches and pains and then goes to work. What I like about him, is that he gets it right the first time! And why not? He started learning the art of Chiropractic healing as a kid – he had 3 older brothers who are Doctors of Chiropractic who used to practice on him! When I leave Fedesna Chiropractic, I feel like a well-oiled machine - Love it!"
