Chiropractic
Visiting a chiropractor can offer numerous benefits for individuals seeking natural and non-invasive solutions to their health concerns. Chiropractors specialize in spinal adjustments and manual therapies, which can alleviate pain, enhance mobility, and improve posture. These treatments can address issues like back pain, neck pain, and headaches, providing relief without the need for medication or surgery. Regular chiropractic care can also contribute to long-term musculoskeletal health, reducing the risk of future injuries and promoting overall well-being. Whether it's for pain management, improved function, or preventive care, seeing a chiropractor can be a valuable addition to one's healthcare routine.

In your first consultation with your chiropractor the doctor will ask about:
personal medical history
major illnesses you have experienced
surgeries or operations you have had
medications you are taking
a description of your present condition
the steps you have taken to manage your condition
your diet and exercise
your sleeping habits, daily activities, work routine, stress level, and home life
-
a check of your blood pressure, pulse and breathing
a test of your reflexes, strength and sensations
an analysis of your posture
an analysis of your movement — he/she will observe how you walk, turn, bend or lift things, as well as how your body moves in the affected area
a hands-on evaluation of how well your spine moves, identifying restrictions and areas of improper motion
-
The doctor will then give you a description of their findings, how these things effect your daily life and a wellness plan involving chiropractic adjustments, nutritional goals, and exercise to prevent injury. The chiropractic lifestyle is about eating right, moving and exercising our bodies, and keeping a stress free mind with positive surroundings.

In addition to manual therapy, the doctors and chiropractors at Back to Health may recommend adjunctive therapies to treat certain conditions or to amplify the positive effects of the adjustment. These therapies may include soft tissue therapy, laser therapy and/or acupuncture. In almost every case, patients leave the clinic with specific home measures they can do in between treatments. All practitioners at Back to Health believe strongly in educating their clients on how to take care of their bodies through simple (but not always easy!) diet and exercise instruction.
Our doctors understand that each patient is unique and has different goals and lifestyle considerations when they customize a treatment plan. Therefore, specific chiropractic care recommendations for your care can differ depending on a variety of factors including: workplace demands, athletic endeavors, age, and previous injuries.
