Listed below, you will find the services we use to help our patients get well at Heatherdowns Chiropractic:

Chiropractic Adjustments

A chiropractic adjustment is a method that chiropractors use to help treat the bones of the spine called vertebrae and the joints that form with one another. The vertebra can sometimes become restricted in motion and limit their natural function. As a result, pain and tenderness are often felt. The adjustment can be administered in many different ways or techniques. At Heatherdowns Chiropractic, we ensure the proper technique is used to treat patients' needs.

Dry Needling

Dry Needling is an effective therapy for pain management and treating neuromusculoskeletal conditions. Dry Needling is not acupuncture but is similar to inserting tiny needles into the tissue beneath the skin for a therapeutic effect. Dry Needling can assist in the treatment of neck pain, back pain, sciatica, extremity and joint pain, headaches, migraines, and TMJ disorders.

Therapeutic Modalities

In addition to the adjustment, therapies such as electric muscle stimulation and intersegmental tracing enhance the healing of many patients. Different therapies can further assist in decreasing inflammation, reducing pain, decreasing muscle tension, and helping with the healing process.

Corrective and Rehabilitation Exercises

Corrective & Rehabilitation Exercises are an essential part of treatment at Heatherdowns Chiropractic. Often, issues in the spine can have secondary effects that need to be addressed in different ways. Safe and appropriate exercises can promote patient empowerment and the idea that patients can play a role in managing their pain and symptoms.

Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization

Various techniques utilizing solid, stainless steel instruments have provided great results for those suffering from muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries such as sprains and strains. Whether treating chronic or acute conditions, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization does what the name implies by freeing up adhesions and scar tissue that can create limitations in the musculoskeletal system.

High School Sports Physicals and Pre-Participation Evaluations

At Heatherdowns Chiropractic, we offer physical examinations and pre-participation evaluations for high school student-athletes. Our clinic is a convenient place for your athletes to be cleared for their upcoming sport or season, and while here, we can discuss how chiropractic care can benefit athletic performance and keep athletes on the field!

Nutritional Recommendations

Natural, organic whole food supplements can be crucial to anyone's health and wellness. Regardless of patients with acute or chronic issues, nutritional deficiencies can often make a big difference in a person's day-to-day life. We offer a variety of vitamins and supplements that can be specific to each individual and their nutritional needs.

Foot Levelers Orthotics

Foot Levelers is a trusted brand utilized throughout the chiropractic profession. Their quality, customizable shoe inserts are created based on each patient's weight-bearing structure. Each foot is scanned individually to determine where a patient distributes their weight or pressure on their feet. The outcome is a custom-made orthotic that establishes a level platform for a person's feet, allowing the rest of their spine to be in an ideal position from the ground up.

Auto Accidents

Sometimes, we can find ourselves on the wrong end of an accident. Lots of times, injuries sustained during car accidents can be well managed through chiropractic care, therapies, and rehab. If left untreated, even the slightest fender bender can cause long-term pain and problems within the spine or muscles. If you have been in an accident, call our office to see how we can help.

Applied Kinesiology and Nutrition Response Testing®

Applied Kinesiology and Nutrition Response Testing® are techniques that utilize the body's innate intelligence and neurological reflexes to indicate what the body wants to aid itself in healing. This system uses manual muscle testing and other standard methods to evaluate health's structural, chemical, and mental aspects. The best-kept secret in medicine is that the body heals itself given the right conditions, and Applied Kinesiology and Nutrition Response Testing® allow the function of the body to be analyzed in a way in which the appropriate dietary and lifestyle changes can be recommended to facilitate the body's natural healing process.
