Chiropractic Care

Dr. Charles Ventresca, D.C., L.Ac.

Chiropractic care is a form of complimentary medicine that emphasizes normal spinal mobility and alignment. Spinal manipulation is used to restore function and alignment to alleviate a variety of conditions from aches and pains to illness and disease. Dr. “Chuck” Ventresca’s extensive knowledge of chiropractic care, Chinese medicine, and dietary and lifestyle recommendations as a pathway towards health has developed and continuously improved over a 30 year career operating his practice on the north shore of Long Island, NY.

One of the fundamental understandings of chiropractic medicine is that spinal subluxations (a functional deficit with neurological irritation) are the root cause of many ailments. The chiropractic adjustment restores function and calms the nervous system. Through the years I have found that chiropractic care effectively provides treatment for the following conditions:

  • Back/Neck Pain
  • Headaches/Migraines
  • Digestive/Respiratory Imbalances
  • Sports Injuries
  • Poor Circulation
  • Nerve Pain
  • Whiplash
  • & Much More

While the effectiveness of Chiropractic care is broad, it is certainly not the only means by which to treat health conditions without relying on conventional prescription medications and surgery. Dr. Ventresca carefully considers a broad variety of alternative approaches when it comes to the health and well-being of his patients.
