Welcome to our website! Thank you for visiting. We have included information below about the different chiropractic services offered in our Longwood chiropractic office.

Spinal Adjustments:
Chiro practic services are provided on a case-by-case basis. Every patient will be individually evaluated and the Doctor and patient will jointly determine what the best course of action is to take. During the evaluation, chiropractors attempt to determine the origin of the problem, not just the symptoms, so many questions are asked about lifestyle and stress levels. Chiropractors pay close attention to the spine and any misalignments of the vertebrae that protect the spinal cord.

Misalignments are referred to as "subluxations" and can cause "kinks" in the nervous systems communication. This communication problem is often the origin of the pain and these subluxations can cause many problems in the body. Pain killers can function as temporary panaceas, but the underlying neurological issues -- how the brain communicates bodily functions to other parts of the body -- can remain. Chiropractic treats the underlying causes of pain and provides longer lasting, natural methods of healing.

Corrective Exercises:
At Natural Wellness and Chiropractic, Inc., we educate our patients to engage in special exercises that strengthen connective tissues and keep the skeleton aligned. These therapies can help strengthen and correct the imbalances in the body which may be causing pain. Many of these corrective exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home with minimal equipment to help improve the effectiveness of your chiropractic care. The more faithfully the exercises are performed, the less chiropractic care is needed and balanced is achieved more rapidly. Patients that have properly exercised have reported greatly reduced back and neck pain, and fewer headaches.

Lifestyle Advice:
Many patients specifically seek out Dr. Johnson to alleviate their pain. While she will address each condition with chiropractic care, we often find it helpful to "coach" our patients towards achieving a healthier lifestyle. For example, there may be certain activities that you should avoid or do differently to prevent yourself from unintentionally aggravating your particular pain. The goal of incorporating lifestyle advice with a chiropractic care plan is essential to maximizing one's health. We recognize that every single one of our patients is a whole person, and we use our expertise to help them reach total health and wellness.

Massage Therapy :
A massage relaxes muscles, easing and soothing your aches and pains away. Massage rejuvenates, restores balance to the body, increases blood flow and calms the nerves. With this new found balance we are far better equipped to handle the stresses of modern living.
