Chiropractic Care
As a chiropractor, Giulia is a spine specialist in the movement and function of your spine. Having optimal spinal health is vital because inside your spine is the spinal cord which is part of our central nervous system.
How Misalignments Lead to Dysfunction
The CNS is the only way that our brain can connect to the rest of the body and how our brain can send messages to everything in your body-muscles, organs, etc. If, however, there are misalignments or subluxations in the spine-for example, two vertebrae are going out of alignment and they start putting pressure on these nerves-the amount of messages from the brain reaching the body is going to be less than a hundred percent.
When your nervous system isn’t functioning optimally, various problems will develop. You may experience muscle dysfunctions, pain and also organ dysfunction in the long run. Giulia evaluates the whole body. She finds the area of dysfunction or subluxation, and adjusts the patient with a treatment that will allow the body to thrive and function in a better way.
Giulia primarily uses two techniques that she learned in chiropractic college. These are a gentle technique that focuses on straightening the pelvis. She combines that with Diversified Technique, which goes deeper into the joints and the spine. Diversified is particularly helpful in getting the vertebrae moving better, especially in the thoracic neck and lumbar spine.
In addition, Giulia provides myofascial release and soft tissue trigger point work to help and also compliment the chiropractic treatment.
Other techniques that are sometimes used include Sacro Occipital (SOT) and Drop Technique.

Benefits of Chiropractic
There are many incredible benefits associated with chiropractic. These include improved body alignment and posture, reduced inflammation, boosted immune system, reduced stress, greater energy and more.
Sports Massage
Giulia has a diploma in sports massage. This type of massage is a terrific complement to chiropractic. She will use massage to release trigger points to get the muscles to relax. Massage prior to treatment allows the adjustment to be more effective.
