chiropractic adjustments

The purpose of spinal manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become restricted in their movement. Tissue injury can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as improper lifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position with poor spinal posture for an extended period of time. An adjustment of the affected joint and tissues, restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and muscle tightness, allowing tissues to heal.

pregnancy & pediatric

Prenatal and pediatric chiropractic go hand in hand. Mother and child are protected during the pregnancy itself through optimal nerve transmission and good pelvic balance. An optimal birth experience is often the result. After the birth itself, Mom can heal quickly while Baby gets off to a wonderful start through optimal nervous system function. Children are very resilient but small traumas along the way can have a negative effect on their nervous system, which controls and regulates all other systems. Parents bring children to the office for issues such as colic, reflux, ear infection, difficulty nursing, digestive issues, and constipation. Our care is safe and gentle.

nutrition

Nutrition and wellness programs are not one size fits all. That’s why we offer a patient-centered approach to our wellness, providing customized support for any health consideration. Good nutrition should be the cornerstone of everyone’s wellness plan and we believe in teaching others to make sound nutritional decisions. Whether your goal is to escape obesity, prevent disease, or improve athletic performance, a personalized nutrition and supplementation plan can be developed to improve your overall health and vitality.

Pain management

The body is a complicated structure of bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles. You can sprain ligaments, strain muscles, rupture disks, and irritate joints, all of which can lead to pain. Sometimes the simplest of movements—for example, picking up a pencil from the floor— can have painful results. In addition, arthritis, poor posture, obesity, and psychological stress can cause or complicate back pain. Back pain is the third most common reason for visits to the doctor’s office, a well-respected review of the evidence pointed to chiropractic care as one of the major non-drug therapies considered effective for acute and chronic low back pain.

traction/decompression

Spinal decompression is a type of motorized traction that may help relieve neck or back pain by gently stretching the spine. That changes the force and position of the spine. This change takes pressure off the spinal disks, which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine, by creating negative pressure in the disc. As a result, bulging or herniated disks may retract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. This helps promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the disks so they can heal.

auto accident

While we might associate an accident with neck, back, or even shoulder pain, it can also result in other complications. These can include headaches, dizziness, and even hearing and vision problems. Those who receive chiropractic treatment have been shown to have much better long-term improvements in symptoms. Movement comes back without the use of addictive substances. No one wants to be left with the lingering consequences of a car crash, and with good chiropractic care, you’ll be on the road to long-term recovery in no time.
