Welcome to Patriot Chiropractic located in Frankfort KY. Chiropractic is one of the most amazing healthcare professions, but very few people understand what it's all about. This article is here to help you gain a basic understanding of how our Frankfort KY chiropractors can help you and your family.
Chiropractic care is the practice of using spinal alignment to alleviate a wide variety of physical ailments, including muscle strain, neck pain, chronic back pain, and more. This is accomplished by adjusting the position of the spinal column to its proper shape, providing a non-invasive solution for pain relief.
Relaxing Therapies
We offer a range of relaxing therapies: electrical stimulation, ultrasound, spinal traction, exercises, and hydromassage to help our patients relax and loosen tight muscles before chiropractic adjustments. These are therapeutic and help with stress, anxiety, and allow better adjustments.
Adjustments
Our chiropractor in Frankfort KY primarily adjusts patients using the hands-on diversified technique. However, some patients either cannot or are nervous about being adjusted. So we have multiple methods to accomplish movement in the spine. We use Activator, ProAdjuster, Drop Table, and blocking if Diversified is not an option. We explain everything and lead you through your first adjustment so you can enjoy it and feel comfortable.

The History Of Chiropractic Care
The word “Chiropractic” is derived from the Greek words “cheir” (hand) and “praktos” (done) combined to mean “done by hand.” It was chosen by the developer of chiropractic care, Daniel David Palmer. In 1895, D.D. Palmer performed a chiropractic adjustment on a partially deaf janitor, Harvey Lillard, who later reported that his hearing had improved due to the change.
D.D. Palmer opened the first chiropractic school two years later, and in the century since, chiropractic professionals have used spinal adjustments to help people prevent and cope with back pain, carpal tunnel, muscle strain, headaches and migraines, and a variety of other physical ailments. Millions of people benefit from the work of Dr. Palmer today.
What Kind of Training Does a Chiropractor Have?
Chiropractic doctors go through a minimum of four years of schooling at a chiropractic college, generally preceded by an undergraduate degree in the basic sciences or several years of experience in a prior relevant health care field.
Students of chiropractic care must spend a minimum of at least 4,200 hours with their teacher, and a minimum of 1,000 hours of fully supervised clinical training with an instructor as they learn the appropriate diagnosis and techniques to help heal your body and restore it to its natural, fully functioning state.
