Chiropractic Services

• Chiropractic Adjustments
  Chiropractic adjustments refer to the specialized treatments that individuals receive from a chiropractic healthcare professional. Compared to treatment by a medical doctor that may involve the use of prescription medication or surgery as a pain remedy, chiropractic adjustments involve a manipulation of the patient’s spine by hand. Chiropractic treatments are designed to bring the body’s musculoskeletal structure back into proper alignment in order to effectively reduce or eliminate pain.
• Spinal Adjustments
  In some cases the patient requires a series of treatments to reduce disc compression. In those situations our chiropractors will perform a series of spinal adjustments to return the appropriate intersegment disc spacing. The use of repetition of properly directed pressure by our chiropractors gradually reduces the compression of the disc and returns the spine to its natural balance. The earlier the patient receives treatment the better off they will be. The first sign of a problem is usually numbness or tingling in the legs, buttocks and back. As soon as those symptoms appear the sufferer should see a chiropractor.
• Nutritional Consultation
  Nutritional counseling is a health assessment performed by a physician or by a certified nutritionist, which analyzes a patient’s individual health needs in relation to their diet and exercise plan or rather the lack thereof. Nutritional counseling is on the rise among professionals like doctors and chiropractors because it has proven to be a tremendous help to a wide array of patients with a vast number of health problems such as obesity, cancer, HIV, musculoskeletal problems, arthritis, migraines, heart disease and diabetes.
• Subluxation
  In the chiropractic field, subluxation is a misalignment of a spinal vertebrae bones. Major symptoms include overall joint pain with stiffness, dizziness, lack of energy, general malaise, posture imbalance, neck and back stiffness or soreness, spine muscle spasms, constant headaches, and lessening of mobility. Earlier diagnosis of subluxation was identified as a pinch nerve, which has sense been discounted. Subluxation is, more often than not, diagnosed through the discipline of chiropractic treatments and is studied by other medical disciplines through what chiropractors discover.
• Manipulation Therapy
  There are several ways to treat problems with the discs. One of the safest, least expensive and most effective is chiropractic manipulation. Many people who choose chiropractic to treat their compressed, bulging or herniated discs are able to get instant relief. The chiropractors of Premier Health Chiropractors are able to do this by properly aligning the spine. This takes the pressure off the nerves and puts it on the discs as the system is designed to function. For most people this is enough to reduce or completely eliminate the pain and enable them to gradually return to their normal life.
• Therapeutic Exercise
  In our modern age, research studies have repeatedly validated the connection between health and therapeutic exercise. This exercise is a physical therapy involving a wide range of activities devised to improve the function of muscles, nerves and organs. Research is one thing, but people tend to learn more from their own experience. For many, it has taken them from making poor health choice, like binge eating and being a couch potato, and finally embracing therapy. It is for this reason that many therapists who suggest therapeutic exercise get help from their own clients and patients in designing the exercise program suitable for them. This way, patients can prevent secondary injury and lessen the chances of getting side-effects from medications and other treatments.

• Acupressure
  Along with placing the shoulder back in proper alignment, a chiropractor can also administer acupressure to help relieve the swollen joints and can guide you with home remedies to ease pain and swelling to allow yourself to heal more promptly. Rather than focusing on just masking the pain in your shoulder, a chiropractor’s goal is to remedy what is causing your pain in the first place.

• Disc Herniation Treatment
  An intervertebral disc is a cartilaginous joint that lies between each vertebrae of the spine. The discs are small and spongy, serving two primary purposes. The disc acts to absorb shock and holds the vertebrae together, allowing for a degree of flexibility of the spine. Occasionally, a disc may bulge or break open. This creates a herniated disc, slipped disc or ruptured disc. There are two primary causes of a disc herniation.
