Hands-On Approach: Comprehensive Traditional Chiropractic Care at DeCubellis Family Chiropractic
At DeCubellis Family Chiropractic, Dr. Douglas DeCubellis provides comprehensive traditional full spine chiropractic care, emphasizing a hands-on approach to restore spinal alignment, alleviate pain, and enhance your body’s natural healing capabilities. While we are also renowned for our specialized Orthospinology and instrument-assisted methods, the power of skilled manual adjustments remains a cornerstone of our personalized care, allowing for direct interaction and a deep understanding of your body’s unique needs.
The Foundation of Full Spine Chiropractic with a Hands-On Approach
Traditional full spine chiropractic focuses on identifying and correcting vertebral subluxations—misalignments in the spinal column that can interfere with the nervous system’s ability to communicate effectively with the rest of the body. These subluxations can lead to a variety of symptoms, including pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, and impaired organ function. Through precise, hands-on adjustments, Dr. DeCubellis gently restores proper spinal alignment, alleviating nerve interference and allowing your body to heal naturally.
Manual adjustments, delivered with expertise and sensitivity, offer distinct advantages:
- Direct Palpation and Assessment: Dr. DeCubellis uses his hands to feel for subtle misalignments, muscle tension, and joint restrictions that might not be apparent through other diagnostic methods. This direct tactile feedback allows for a highly accurate assessment of your spinal health.
- Precise and Targeted Adjustments: With a hands-on approach, adjustments can be precisely tailored to the specific segment of your spine requiring correction. This ensures that the right amount of force is applied in the exact direction needed to restore proper motion and alignment.
- Immediate Feedback: Both the patient and the chiropractor can often feel the immediate changes and release of tension during a manual adjustment, providing instant feedback on the effectiveness of the treatment.
- Enhanced Patient Connection: The hands-on interaction fosters a deeper connection between patient and practitioner, building trust and allowing for a more intuitive and responsive treatment experience.
- Versatility for Various Conditions: Manual techniques are highly versatile and can be adapted to address a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, from general back and neck pain to stiffness, reduced mobility, and nerve impingement.

What to Expect During a Hands-On Adjustment
During a hands-on adjustment, Dr. DeCubellis will use specific, controlled forces to gently move a joint beyond its passive range of motion. This often results in a cavitation, or a popping sound, which is simply the release of gas from the joint space. The adjustment is designed to be comfortable and is always performed with your safety and well-being as the top priority.
