Chiropractic biophysics treatment available in Fayetteville

Dr. Tom Grant Jr. is now a practicing chiropractor in Fayetteville, with an office at 155 Bradford Square, Suite C, near the downtown area.

He is a specialist in Chiropractic Biophysics (CBP), a highly specialized "non-surgical" spinal remodeling and spinal rehabilitation technique. It encompasses a highly researched adjusting technique which combines physics, biomechanics and physical rehabilitation of human spinal structure. This re-modeling procedure can have a tremendous positive effect on your daily activities because it brings your spinal structure to as near normal a position as possible so that you have the opportunity to function the best that you can.

This process requires specialization and certification, and Dr. Grant is one of only a few certified CBP doctors in the Southeastern United States. As a certified CBP doctor, he can perform a detailed examination that includes range of motion testing, mechanical coordination, postural analysis, and x-ray evaluation. Upon completion of this extensive testing you receive a Private Consultation in which you are given a Report of Findings and options for a care plan.

Not every condition is caused by a "disease." Many times, perhaps most of the time, your aches and pains are caused from structural imbalances of the body's support system, your bones and most importantly your spine.

By adjusting these structural imbalances the body is given an opportunity to heal properly. If it uses this opportunity, many symptoms such as chronic migraines, bowel and bladder dysfunction, chronic low back pain, shoulder dysfunction, elbow pain, or wrist pain can be improved or even eliminated.

Dr. Grant applies CBP expertise in working with many other functional abnormalities of the human skeletal system. As a Certified Chiropractic Biophysics Specialist, he work closely with neurologists, nutritionists, oncologists, orthopedic specialists, and many other healthcare providers.

The spine has many components, a few of which are ligaments (which attaches bones to each other), tendons (which attaches muscle to bone) and bone.

Within this specialized spinal housing is your spinal cord. Actually, it is more than just a cord; it is a complex extension of the human brain. The spinal cord performs the function of chief communicator, sensing even the slightest of changes in structure, function and health of the body and acts as a conduit between your brain and your organs.

Spinal joint and disc degeneration can alter the communication signals that pass along this spinal "conduit" and may cause your body functions to abnormally slow down, speed up, or confuse their natural process, leading to possible present and future abnormal reactions.

Trauma, toxins and stress can also cause upset this balanced spinal structure and cause negative effects, leading to pains and discomfort. By having your spinal structure evaluated by a CBP doctor, you are giving yourself a powerful edge against the destructive forces of spinal degeneration, which can lead to dysfunction, pain, and disease.

"You never learn how to 'live' with pain, you only learn how to 'suffer' with it!" said Dr. Grant.

Do you have to give up activities because of discomfort? Are you "slowing down" because you can't move like you used to? Tired of living with pain? Stop ignoring your body's pain and distress signals. Call Dr. Grant at 770-719-1917 and start learning how to live again.
