A chiropractic adjustment is also known as spinal manipulation, a manual therapy to reduce pain and correct the body’s alignment for proper functioning. Chiropractic adjustments also complement the traditional medical care that you may receive. Most chiropractic adjustments are performed by hand, but the chiropractor may use different ways, such as tables, activator adjusting tools, laser therapy, y-axis traction strap, etc., for spinal manipulation. Just like hands-on spinal decompression, the Y-strap tool works to decompress the vertebrae by gently stretching the spine. It focuses on adjusting the spine along the Y-axis and is safe and highly effective even if it may appear otherwise overwhelming. People may feel apprehensive initially, but it becomes much easier to adjust once they learn about the tool and its benefits.
Y-strap is a spinal decompression tool that can gently stretch the spine and provide the relief you seek. Before starting the adjustment, the patient’s medical history, family history, signs, or symptoms are evaluated, and the patient can benefit from the Y-strap adjustment. Thorough questions based on the problematic points and their severity are discussed. Then, after a thorough assessment, the patient is provided with all the relevant information regarding the procedure. During the process, the patient lies facing upward on a table, and the Y-strap tool is put at the back of the head, safely at the base of the skull. The strap is secured in the middle near the neck, creating a Y-shape at the top portion of the strap. The top part of the strap acts as a handgrip and is away from the patient’s body. Then, the strap is pulled gently but firmly away from the person’s body to decompress the spine.

M.C.New Braunfels, TexasUPDATE 6/4/2020: I love the staff, clinic, and mostly treatments at New Braunfels Auto Accident Injury Chiropractic. The staff make you feel like part of the family. The clinic is clean and organized. I treated at New Braunfels Auto Accident Injury Chiropractic for Sciatica and could barely stand up from sitting position. Within two week I was able to stand without extreme pain. I treated for eight weeks and was released. After my plan was complete I decided to keep treating under chiropractic because I feel so much better.

W.W.New Braunfels, TexasHonestly, I usually never put review up but this place is great. I run track and in the separate events of when I almost broke my neck from high jump and hurt my leg from running, The doctors and therapists really helped me get through that in order to get back into running shape as soon as possible. I also go in to get adjusted before meets, which always helps a lot. The staff is just amazing, they are knowledgeable and explained everything to me in detail. Definitely recommend this chiropractor.
