CHIROPRACTIC
a system of complementary medicine based on the diagnosis and manipulative treatment of misalignments of the joints, especially those of the spinal column, which are held to cause other disorders by affecting the nerves, muscles, and organs.
SPINAL ADJUSTMENT
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractic services are used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.
PAIN RELIEF FOR HERNIATED DISC
The spinal disc is a special cartilage between the bones of your spinal column and it attaches to the vertebra above and below it. This disc creates the separation between spinal bones so that pairs of nerves can exit the spine. Each spinal disc has a jelly-like “ball bearing” core that is contained by bands of fibrous tissue. Healthy discs give you flexibility for normal turning and bending. Unfortunately, improper lifting, slips, falls and car accidents can cause the core of the spinal disc to shift and cause a herniated disc. The jelly-like core of the disc can leak through to the outer portion of the disc. Herniated discs most commonly occur in the lower back and can cause chronic pain. We can help!
MASSAGE THERAPY
manual manipulation of soft body tissues (muscle, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments) to enhance a person's health and well-being. There are dozens of types of massage therapy methods (also called modalities).
CHIROPRACTIC FOR INFANTS & CHILDREN
Most people do not realize that infants and children are just as much in need of chiropractic care as adults. Infants, in particular, are susceptible to a wide range of possible ailments related to slow or traumatic birth and c-sections.
PREGNANCY
When your body goes through the various stages and trials of pregnancy and labor, your spine is subjected to extreme amounts of stress. After all, it has to constantly adjust itself to bear the growing weight of another person over a short timeframe of just nine months. The center of gravity shifts forward and substantial weight gain adds stress to the spine of the expecting mother. This stress frequently causes lower back pain, headaches and migraines, nausea, insomnia, and other symptoms that can wreak havoc on your quality of life.
WEBSTER TECHNIQUE FOR PREGNANT WOMEN
The Webster Technique was designed to help remove subluxations in pregnant women and restore balance to the pelvic area through adjustments and relaxation of special ligaments in the pelvic girdle. This helps to relieve the pressure and stress that can be placed on the pelvic area during pregnancy & childbirth and it also helps with optimal fetal positioning.
MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
During myofascial release, the chiropractor finds these stiff areas and applies pressure to loosen them up, free movement, and reduce pain.
CHIROPRACTIC FOR SPORTS INJURIES
Activities can exert a tremendous amount of stress on the spinal column and joints. Dr. Peter Morgan works with amateur through professional athletes for optimal health to prevent injury. Unfortunately injuries occur, but with chiropractic for sports injuries, clients regain strength and avoid chronic issues. A sports injury such as a sprained ankle or sore back can result from poor technique or lead to poor technique when an individual athlete overcompensates for an injury favoring one side of his or her body or one position. Sports injuries also lead to secondary pains and problems. Dr. Peter Morgan treats not just the specific location of pain, but the areas radiating out from it as well.
