TAKING THE TIME TO DO IT RIGHT—TRAINING MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Our Philosophy
“I am committed to restoring the optimal function of your spine and joints. The chiropractic philosophy states that interference or “pressure on your nerves” decreases the innate healing of your body. I believe that restoring the normal function removes the interference and allows healing to occur. Lewit a famous Dr. From Prague stated “He who looks to the site of the pain is lost” I do not want to treat a symptom of your pain. I want to correct the underlying cause. Abnormal breathing patterns, weakness or tightness of muscles, flexibility issues or balance deficits need to be corrected to achieve long term healing.”

Evidence based treatment protocols are utilized to restore your function and reduce your pain.

PERSONALIZED CARE FOR AUTO ACCIDENT INJURIES
Auto accidents are traumatic to all aspects of your life. Frequently, accidents create misalignments of the spine putting pressure on delicate nerve tissue resulting in severe pain. Gentle re-alignment of your spine removes nerve pinching. Studies show whiplash injuries left uncorrected can result in early spinal degeneration. In fact, studies show as many as 40 percent of people involved in auto accidents still have pain up to five years later. Simply taking drugs and anti-inflammatories such as aspirin or ibuprofen fails to correct the underlying cause of your pain. An article in the Lancet suggests that non-steroidal anti-inflammatories can accelerate osteoarthritis. Correcting the underlying cause of your pain following your accident can prevent you from suffering from headaches, and neck and low back pain for years to come. Dr. Whitehead uses her extensive biomedical knowledge to locate and treat the cause of your pain gently and without medication, leaving you pain-free quickly and effectively.
