Traditional chiropractors focus on goals like decreasing muscle spasm and reducing pain.  We believe they do a great job at accomplishing those goals. Intero Chiropractic in Pleasanton, California takes a different approach, and focuses on three dimensional shifts of the spine away from normal, or what we call structural shifts.Think of your spine as a foundation for a house or other building.  If the foundation were to sink a few inches, wouldn't you expect the walls to crack, the floors to offset, and the roof to be damaged?  Now you can patch the cracks, change the floorboard, or replace the roof, but this would never correct the cause of the problems.Structural Chiropractic focuses on detecting three dimensional Structural Shifts of the spine that may be causing your foundation to be off.  In the vast majority of cases that make their way to our practice, often as referrals from other healthcare professionals in the area, we see a significant Structural Shift.
