About Chiropractic Care

  • Chiropractic care focuses on the connection between your nervous system and your skeletal system as part of a holistic approach to healthcare. It can be very beneficial for a wide range of health issues, from back pain and headaches to hip and knee pain. It is also based on the principle that the nervous system can play an important role in the body's natural healing process. By keeping the spine and other joints properly aligned and functioning optimally, chiropractic care might help prevent injuries and health problems from occurring in the first place. 

Potential Benefits of Chiropractic Adjustments

  • Pain relief: Chiropractic adjustments can help relieve back pain, neck pain, and joint pain, among other types of pain in the body.
  • Improved Range of Motion: Adjustments can help increase flexibility and mobility which can help reduce stiffness and make movement easier.
  • Better posture: Poor posture causes pain and discomfort in your back and neck. Chiropractic adjustments can help realign the spine and enhance posture, in turn relieving any pain and discomfort.
  • Reduced inflammation: Adjustments can help reduce inflammation, which contributes to pain and other health problems.
  • Improved nervous system function: The nervous system serves as the body's means of communication. Misalignments in the spine can interfere with this communication, but chiropractic adjustments may help restore proper nervous system function.
  • Better sleep: Pain and discomfort can interfere with your sleep, but chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate these symptoms, leading to better sleep quality

Experience Relief with Spinal Decompression Services

  • Spinal decompression is a gentle, traction-based therapy designed to relieve pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. It involves the use of a specially designed table that creates controlled traction, allowing the spine to stretch and decompress. This technique promotes the movement of herniated or bulging discs back into their proper alignment, reducing pain and supporting the body's natural healing processes

Benefits of Spinal Decompression:

  • Pain Relief: Spinal decompression can significantly reduce or eliminate pain caused by herniated discs, sciatica, and other spinal issues, allowing you to return to your regular activities.

A Coordinated Approach to Wellness and Weight Loss

Dr. Ash knows that life is busy and stressful. While we cannot adequately stress the importance of regular exercise and proper diet, we understand that major change is difficult. But, in addition to helping our patients with posture and corrective exercises to promote healing, we emphasize diet, regular exercise, sleep, and a positive mindset. Our culture has become increasingly sedentary. Along with job stress, modern habits can take a toll on both physical and mental health. We see the results. A growing number of younger people are now overweight or obese. The number of people with diabetes and heart problems has grown steadily in the past couple of decades. As a society, we now consume more pills than ever before. We are, in some ways, less fit than previous generations.


Finding Better Ways to Fitness and Health Through Exercise

However, that can all change. Dr. Ash recommends a regular program of exercise for 20 to 30 minutes at least three or four times a week. A gym membership isn't necessary. A brisk walk or Modern dance moves are great ways to reap the benefits! Play a game of pickup basketball, or touch football, go canoeing with the family or take up yoga to reap the dual benefits or stretching and meditation. Eat simple meals that are heavy on fruit, vegetables, and fiber; include whole grains, nuts, and legumes. Lessen your dependence on coffee and sweets. Limit alcohol and soda consumption. If you still smoke, quit. Take brown bag lunches to work or school, and skip the drive-through lanes -- your budget will stretch further as well. Cook at home.

The Value of Stretching and Strengthening Your Body

Exercise, in general, has shown some important benefits for individuals struggling with injuries, chronic pain, and other musculoskeletal problems. For instance, aerobic exercise enhances blood circulation and fluid drainage, which can help control swelling and feed more healing oxygen to the tissues.Stretching and strengthening exercises promise some special benefits of their own. Stretches can release pent-up muscle tension and limber up the tissues to ease muscle spasms, making the everyday motion more comfortable, and reduce your injury risk. Strengthening also reduces injury risk by granting extra stability to the key muscle groups that maintain your posture, symmetry, and balance.

Stretching Exercises to Keep Your Tissues Flexible

Dr. Ash will evaluate your current range of motion and medical status before prescribing stretching exercises. Common stretches that help to manage pain and improve flexibility include:
  • Forward, backward, and side neck tilts to loosen neck muscles
  • Downward neck release exercises to free up the back of the neck
  • Shoulder rolls to relax the tissues connecting your shoulders to your neck
  • Cobra stretches, cat-cow stretches, spinal bridges, and seated spinal twists to improve mid-back flexibility
  • Stretches that target the pelvic girdle, knees, wrists, tailbone, or lower back

Strengthening Exercises to Support Your Musculoskeletal System

Strengthening exercises typically target the muscle groups responsible for maintaining musculoskeletal alignment. Dr. Ash may recommend a routine that includes:
  • Chin tucks, which strengthen the muscles that support your head
  • The prone cobra, an exercise that targets the shoulders, neck, and upper back
  • A standing exercise called the back burner that works both the back and the chest
  • Curl-ups, side bridges, and other exercises to build the core muscles that support your lower back
