Dr. Keshia Petersen is passionate about Chiropractic and how it can improve people’s lives through decreased pain, increases mobility and a better quality of life. The World Federation of Chiropractic (1999) defined Chiropractic as being concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on the functions of the nervous system and general health. This is obtained by a natural, drug-free, non-invasive and surgery-free approach to health care. Chiropractic is the 3rd largest primary health care profession in the world. Chiros will use various modalities and techniques to treat neuro-musculoskeletal conditions. They include: acupressure, cold and heat therapy, cross-friction therapy, dry needling, immobilization and kineseo taping, deep tissue massage, rehabilitation, stretch, mobilization and primarily gentle chiropractic manipulation/adjusting technique.
