  Chiropractic Care

Our Doctors  perform advanced spinal correction in our Chillicothe practice utilizing "state of the art" Chiropractic techniques. Never in the 100+ year history of Chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are gentler, safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. Our two Doctors have over 33 combined years of training and experience in spinal manipulation.

At CCWC we specialize in a variety of treatment techniques.  We believe being skilled in a variety of techniques allows us to effectively treat a wider range of conditions and clients.  We adapt our techniques to the needs of the individual patient, not the needs of the patient to one limited technique.  At CCWC we are highly trained in numerous techniques such as:

Gonstead

Activator Technique
Neuro-muscular Reeducation
And many more!!!

Massage Therapy

Therapeutic massage is an age-old remedy which has proven to be an effective complement to chiropractic care. Both are holistic in nature, and are based on belief in the innate healing power of the body. Together, chiropractic and massage facilitate the natural healing process by keeping the body in proper alignment and ensuring a free flow of nerve impulses and circulation of fluids.

Problems in the musculo-skeletal system can impede the natural healing process, and often cause dysfunction and pain. Most chiropractic doctors would agree that it is important to treat soft tissues such as muscles and tendons to help prevent and correct body dysfunction, and lessen the accompanying pain. Together, chiropractic and massage provide you with a more complete and effective system of health care.  Therapeutic massage received regularly helps work out chronic muscular tension. Massage melts away a certain amount of tension in each session, and if received regularly, keeps tension from building up again. It helps you identify and correct patterns of holding tension.You can learn to relax and let go of tension you may not have even been aware of.

Chiropractic manipulation, therapeutic massage, and rehabilitative exercise can help you regain and maintain proper alignment. When muscles are relaxed and restored to their optimal length, correct posture and alignment are more easily sustained allowing the body to function optimally.

Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out balance or strained by improper alignment or improper use.  Connective, or soft, tissues include ligaments, tendons, discs, and muscles.  These tissues are responsible for the movement and positition of the joints, and unless addressed, misalignments will re-occur.  Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

We offer the areas only Board Certified Physician in Chiropractic Rehabilitation.  We utilize "functional tests" to determine specific areas that need improvement.  We have a Certified Corrective Exercise Specialist to work one-on-one with clients in our office.  We utilize low-tech, but highly effective, equipment that can easily and cheaply be utilized at home.  Our goal is to get you ready to continue your program on your own. 

Lifestyle Advice

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each patient is a whole person, and to help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.

Nutritional Counseling

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patients' return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Our Doctors can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.  Ask for a complementary "Nutritional Survey" to evaluate your specific needs. 

Spinal & Postural Screenings

Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. We provide screenings at schools, community events, health fairs and places of employment. Wellness education deals with ways to stay healthy and live more fullfilling lives.  We provide free in-office classes on health and wellness topics and speak to community groups using slideshow presentations.  Contact our Chillicothe office today to arrange a screening or speaking appearance at your event or workplace.
