The word Chiropractic comes from the Greek words "praxis," meaning "to do work" and "chiro" meaning "by hand." While Chiropractic manipulation is generally thought of as treatment directed to the spinal column, Dr. Tetuán is also trained to apply specialized myofascial release therapies to the muscles and soft tissues, rehabilitation and manipulation of the upper and lower extremities. Chiropractic is a primary health-care profession that specializes in the diagnosis, treatment and overall management of conditions that are due to problems with the joints, ligaments, tendons and nerves of the body, particularly those of the spine.  Treatment consists of a wide range of manipulative techniques designed to improve the function of the joints, relieving pain and muscle spasm.   Patients who are apprehensive about receiving chiropractic adjustments are very quickly put at ease in our clinic.  Dr. Tetuán utilizes several methods of manipulative therapy and can accommodate any concerns, special needs or preferences our new patients (who may or may not be new to chiropractic) may have.
