Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractic adjustments aim to restore proper function and mobility to the spine and other joints in the body, promoting healing and reducing pain. Dr. Ali uses a variety of techniques, including activator, drop table, diversified manual, and mobilization, tailored to your specific needs.

Adjustments range from very gentle to more profound, depending on what your exam results and history indicate as the safest and most effective option. Personal patient preference also plays a key role in determining the appropriate adjusting style.

  • Activator Adjustments: A gentle technique using a handheld spring-loaded instrument that delivers a quick, precise, and controlled force to specific areas of the spine or extremities. Ideal for patients who prefer a low-force approach or those with sensitivities.

  • Mobilization Techniques: A gentler, non-thrust approach to improve joint movement and reduce stiffness. This technique is perfect for patients who prefer a softer adjustment or are new to chiropractic care.

  • Drop Table Adjustments: A specialized table with sections that gently drop during the adjustment. This technique uses gravity and minimal force to realign the spine, making it effective and comfortable for many patients.

  • Diversified Manual Adjustments: A hands-on technique that applies a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust to restore joint mobility and function. This approach is widely recognized and can create a "popping" sound as gas is released from the joint.

No two patients are alike, and Dr. Ali carefully considers your unique needs to provide adjustments that are safe, effective, and aligned with your preferences.

Manual Therapy

  • Active Techniques: The patient engages specific muscles during the therapy session, often in coordination with guided movements or stretches. This can help retrain muscle patterns and restore balance to the affected areas.

  • Passive Techniques: The doctor performs the muscle work without requiring active participation from the patient. This could involve stretching or applying pressure to targeted muscles to release tension and improve flexibility.

Manual therapy is focused on addressing muscle tension, imbalances, and restrictions that could be contributing to your pain or discomfort. These techniques are designed to relax tight muscles, improve blood flow, and enhance mobility. Dr. Ali employs both active and passive muscle work:

Manual therapy complements chiropractic adjustments by targeting the soft tissues surrounding the joints, ensuring a comprehensive approach to addressing the root cause of your symptoms.

Rehabilitative Exercises

  • Posture Improvement: Exercises that focus on reducing tension and maintaining alignment while sitting at a desk, driving, or performing daily activities.

  • Symptom Relief Between Visits: Quick and targeted movements to relieve pain, reduce stiffness, and maintain mobility when you can't make it to an appointment.

  • Strengthening and Flexibility: Focused exercises to strengthen weak muscles, stretch tight areas, and improve overall function.

Rehabilitative exercises are tailored to fit into your daily routine, providing simple yet effective ways to support your recovery and overall wellness. Dr. Ali works with you to develop exercises that are easy to incorporate, even in a busy schedule.

Dr. Ali ensures that these exercises are practical and manageable, empowering you to take an active role in your wellness journey.

Whether you’re at home, in the office, or even at a stoplight, you’ll have tools to feel your best every day.

Workplace Wellness

On-Site Chiropractic Care

Employees often spend hours at their desks, which can lead to poor posture, back and neck pain, and decreased energy levels. With on-site chiropractic care, employees can receive personalized adjustments right at the workplace, addressing issues like:

  • Tension headaches and migraines

  • Neck and back pain

  • Shoulder or wrist discomfort from repetitive strain

  • Postural imbalances caused by prolonged sitting

At Zenova Life Chiropractic, we bring wellness directly to your workplace, providing convenient and effective solutions to support the health and productivity of your team. Our workplace wellness programs are designed to address the physical demands of office work, reduce stress, and promote overall well-being.

These adjustments are quick, effective, and tailored to each individual, ensuring minimal disruption to their workday while providing maximum relief and benefits.

Prenatal & Postnatal Chiropractic Care

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it often brings physical challenges like back pain, pelvic discomfort, and sciatica. At Zenova Life Chiropractic, we specialize in providing safe, gentle care to support moms through every stage of pregnancy and beyond.

Prenatal Care

During pregnancy, your body undergoes significant changes to accommodate your growing baby. Hormonal shifts and the weight of carrying a child can lead to misalignment in the spine and pelvis, causing discomfort and even affecting your baby's positioning. Dr. Ali offers prenatal chiropractic care using techniques specifically designed for pregnancy:

  • Gentle, Safe Adjustments: Careful and precise techniques that provide relief from back pain, hip pain, and round ligament discomfort while ensuring safety for both mom and baby.

  • Pelvic Alignment: Maintaining proper pelvic alignment can create optimal space for your baby and potentially reduce the likelihood of difficult labor.

  • Stress Relief: Chiropractic care can help ease the physical stress of pregnancy, promoting relaxation and better sleep.

Postnatal Care

After giving birth, your body continues to change as it heals and adapts. Postnatal chiropractic care helps restore alignment, alleviate discomfort, and support your recovery:

  • Postural Correction: Caring for a newborn often leads to poor posture while feeding, lifting, or carrying your baby. Chiropractic care can address these issues, reducing pain and tension.

  • Core and Pelvic Floor Support: Adjustments and soft tissue work can support your pelvic floor and core muscles, helping you regain strength and stability.

  • Breastfeeding Support: Aligning the spine and reducing muscle tension can make feeding positions more comfortable, benefiting both mom and baby.

Pediatric Chiropractic Care

Benefits for Infants and Children

  • Infants: Gentle adjustments can help with common issues like colic, reflux, sleep disturbances, and ear infections. These adjustments are incredibly light, often using no more pressure than you’d apply to test a ripe tomato.

  • Toddlers and Young Children: Care can support better posture, reduce the effects of minor injuries, and address spinal misalignments that may arise during growth spurts.

  • Teens: With the increasing use of technology, teens often develop poor posture (e.g., "tech neck"). Chiropractic care helps counteract these issues, relieving tension and preventing long-term problems.

Children face their own unique challenges as they grow, from falls and minor injuries to postural changes due to modern lifestyles. Pediatric chiropractic care supports their physical development and overall health, ensuring they thrive.

Dr. Ali’s gentle, kid-friendly approach ensures that your child feels comfortable and safe throughout their care.

  • We accept credit and debit cards, cash, Venmo, and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). For an even easier checkout experience, we can securely store your credit card information to streamline future payments.

    You can also call/text us at 952-243-2343 or email info@zenovalifechiropractic to schedule.

    If Zenova Life Chiropractic is providing care at your office space, walk-in appointments may often be available—feel free to stop by and check if we have availability!

  • During your first visit, you’ll fill out an intake form, which can be completed online or in-person. The doctor will review your form and conduct a thorough examination, including a verbal history, range of motion assessment, orthopedic testing, and muscle palpation. This helps determine the best plan of care tailored to your unique needs.

    If you’re a good candidate for chiropractic treatment, you will receive care during your first visit, followed by a report of findings and recommendations for ongoing treatment.

    After completing the paperwork, your appointment will take less than 30 minutes.

  • Many patients feel an immediate sense of relief, increased mobility, or improved posture. Although, after your chiropractic adjustment, it’s normal to experience some mild soreness or discomfort, similar to how your muscles might feel after exercise. This is generally temporary and should subside within a day or two. 

    In the hours or days following your adjustment, you may also experience:

    • Improved range of motion

    • Increased energy

    • Reduced tension and pain

    • Improved sleep

    It’s important to stay hydrated after your adjustment to allow your body to adjust properly. If you have any questions or concerns following your visit, feel free to contact us.

    Over time, with regular adjustments, you should experience enhanced wellness, better posture, and a reduction in pain or discomfort.

  • Chiropractic care is generally safe for most people, including children, adults, and seniors. As your chiropractor, Dr. Ali takes great care to assess each individual’s unique health needs and creates a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals and preferences.

    Dr. Ali uses gentle, tailored adjustments to ensure that care is effective and safe for you. She will thoroughly review your health history and perform a detailed evaluation to determine if chiropractic care is the right choice for you.

    While chiropractic care is suitable for many, it may not be recommended for individuals with certain conditions like severe osteoporosis, fractures, or specific types of arthritis. Dr. Ali will always discuss your options with you and ensure that your safety is the top priority.

    If you have any questions or concerns about whether chiropractic care is right for you, don’t hesitate to reach out to Dr. Ali. She’s happy to address any concerns and guide you toward the best care for your unique needs.
