Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an old healing practice of traditional Chinese medicine dating back over 4,000 years. It still remains effective today as a way to strengthen the body rather than merely treating symptoms. It is primarily used to relieve pain as well as treat other conditions. More than 3 million Americans and 200,000 children in the U.S. have had acupuncture to help relieve a symptom or condition. Because of its low side effects, it has been the treatment of choice for many doctors across the country. It is even more popular in other countries.
Chiropractic Care
We specialize in correcting your body’s misalignments. Our goal is to ensure that your spine and the rest of your body are working harmoniously. To do so, we will help you develop a plan that will require light stretching, some exercise, chiropractic care, and a healthy diet.
Corrective Exercises
Corrective exercises are the use of bodily movements and/or postures to restore desirable changes in diseased or injured tissues. The corrective exercises are movement strategies that minimize or eliminate compensation. Corrective exercises should precede more integrated exercises, because they can cue the patient’s motor system to respond in a more desirable way and assist in removing or improving biomechanical constraints.

There are many types of massage therapy methods (also called modalities).

Prenatal Chiropractic Care
Why get Chiropractic care while pregnant?
Receiving chiropractic care while pregnant is a great way to take care of yourself while taking care of your new bundle of joy! Not only can it help with increasing nervous system and brain function to offset some of the physical changes that come with pregnancy, but chiropractic care is also helpful in balancing hormones. Many people report feeling happier following adjustments.
During pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes dramatic changes, both structurally, chemically (hormones), and emotionally. It is important to keep your spinal alignment in check so that the baby has plenty of space to grow. Any misalignments, specifically in the pelvis and pelvic bowl where the baby develops, can reduce some developmental potential and could affect labor. Chiropractic can help make pregnancy more comfortable, more enjoyable, and prepare the body for an easier, safer birth.
Here at Compassionate Chiropractic, we have done specialized training and education in perinatal care, focusing on methods to aid expecting mothers to keep themselves properly aligned through the pregnancy, as well as pregnancy-specific pillows and cushions for during adjustments so that they are comfortable and their new baby is safe as well.
Spinal Screenings
Sometimes all that stands between your daily pain and a happier, healthier you, is a chiropractic adjustment. Your body naturally wants to be in alignment, and our daily activities can throw what is naturally aligned out of balance. Also known as chiropractic manipulation, manual manipulation, or spinal manipulation, chiropractic adjustment refers to the manipulation of the vertebrae that have abnormal movements and are not functioning properly. Here at Compassionate Health Center, we can help you achieve balance and proper alignment, giving you relief and improving your health.
Our goal in treating your joint and spinal issues is to reduce subluxation, increase range of motion, reduce nerve irritability, and improve mobility. Our highly skilled chiropractor will work with you to relieve your pain and get you back to living a pain free and healthy lifestyle.
