Beyond the Back Crack: Understanding Elite Wellness's Comprehensive Corrective Care

Hi there, it's Dr. Mikala Booher, founder of Elite Wellness Chiropractic in Bee Cave.

When you think of a chiropractor, what's the first thing that comes to mind?

For many, it's that iconic "back crack." And while that sound can sometimes be a part of an adjustment, it's probably the biggest misconception about what true chiropractic care—especially the comprehensive approach we practice here at Elite Wellness—is all about.

My passion, and the mission of my all-female team, is to look beyond the back crack and unlock your body's incredible capacity to heal and thrive.

The "Cracking" Myth Debunked: What That Sound Really Is

First, let's clear the air about "the crack."
That sound you might hear during a chiropractic adjustment is simply the release of gas (like oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide) from within the joint fluid.

Think of it like cracking your knuckles – it's just pressure releasing, and it's rarely uncomfortable.

What we're truly focused on is not the sound, but the motion.
When a spinal joint is "stuck" or misaligned (what we call a subluxation), it restricts proper nerve flow and movement.
Our precise adjustments are designed to restore that optimal motion.

What Is Comprehensive Corrective Care?

At Elite Wellness Chiropractic, we don't just chase pain.
We practice comprehensive corrective care.

What does that mean for you?

• Addressing the Root Cause:
  Instead of simply treating symptoms as they appear, we go deeper to identify why your body is experiencing pain or dysfunction in the first place.
  Is it a long-standing postural issue? A past injury? A specific misalignment impacting your nervous system?
• Focusing on True Healing:
  We aim for measurable, lasting structural and functional changes in your spine and nervous system.
  This empowers your body to heal itself and maintain optimal health, rather than relying on repeated, temporary fixes.
• Whole-Body Wellness:
  We understand that your body is an interconnected system.
  Resolving spinal issues can have far-reaching positive impacts on your overall energy, sleep, mood, and vitality.

The Pillars of Our Corrective Approach: How We Go Beyond

Our commitment to comprehensive corrective care is built on a methodical, patient-centered process:

• Thorough Assessment & Objective Diagnostics
  Your journey begins with a deep dive into your health history and a comprehensive examination.
  Critically, we utilize before-and-after X-rays. These objective images allow me to precisely pinpoint structural misalignments and track your progress throughout your care—so you can actually see the changes happening within your spine.
• Personalized Adjustment Techniques
  We tailor every adjustment to your unique body and needs.
  My team and I are proficient in a diverse range of gentle, precise techniques, including:
  • Traditional Manual Adjustments
  • The gentle Drop Table Technique
  • The specific Activator Method
  We select the approach that offers you the most comfort and effective results.
• Active Participation & Empowerment
  Your healing journey extends beyond our clinic.
  We empower you with customized corrective exercises and home care strategies—from targeted stretches to strengthening routines and ergonomic coaching—to help you build muscle memory and maintain your improved alignment long term.

The Benefits of True Healing: Beyond Just Feeling Better

When you commit to comprehensive corrective care, the benefits extend far beyond a reduction in pain.
Patients often experience:

• Lasting Relief – Addressing the root cause means sustained freedom from chronic aches and discomfort.
• Improved Posture – You'll stand taller, move with greater ease, and exude more confidence.
• Enhanced Energy & Vitality – As nerve interference is reduced, your body's systems function more optimally.
• Better Sleep Quality – Reduced pain and nervous system stress can lead to more restful nights.
• Increased Resilience – Your body becomes better equipped to handle the stresses of daily life.

This is the power of true health—a health you can not only feel, but one we can demonstrate and measure.
