Dr. Strickland Asks some important questions of interest to Meridian residents - Chiropractor Meridian Dr. Strickland Asks...

How do chiropractors help ADHD?
There is agreement that ADHD is a nervous system disorder. And while chiropractic isn't a treatment for ADHD, if your child has vertebral subluxations, resolving them will often produce profound results. Click here to learn why more and more Meridian parents are choosing natural chiropractic care rather than dangerous psychotropic drugs.
What causes vertebral subluxations?
Chiropractors acknowledge three types of stress: physical, chemical and emotional. When the adaptive capacity of your body is compromised, weakened areas along the spine can become involved. Muscles tighten, spinal joints lock up and nearby nerves are affected. The purpose of chiropractic care is to find these areas and restore balance, alignment and motion.

About Active Release Technique®

Every session is a combination of an examination and an adjustment.

The Examination

I'll use my hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons and ligaments. If scar tissue is present, I'll be able to feel it because it will be preventing soft tissues from moving properly. This can cause reduced range of motion, loss of strength and even pain. If nerve tissue is trapped, there may be tingling, numbness and weakness as well.

The Adjustment

Runners and athletes of all types often suffer from injuries that respond to our approach.

When problems are detected, I choose from over 500 specific protocols. I’ll apply precise amounts of pressure while you move or bend in specific ways that aid in the correction of your condition.

These manual maneuvers are normally applied at the site of your injury. Excellent results have been reported with the neuromuscular system:

  • Muscles
  • Tendons
  • Ligaments
  • Fascia

This work will often resolve a number of common health complaints:

  • Headaches
  • Back pain
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Shin splints
  • Shoulder pain
  • Sciatica
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Knee problems
  • Tennis elbow

Most of these conditions share one important common denominator: overused muscles. We use this technique because it’s a proven, state-of-the-art soft tissue system that helps many muscle-related conditions resolved quickly and permanently.
