Understanding Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care focuses on spinal health and the musculoskeletal system. Our chiropractors use manual adjustments and manipulations to correct any misalignments you may have in your spine. These adjustments help improve nerve function and reduce any pain you may have. In addition, the treatments can also prevent pain from becoming chronic.

What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an ancient practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. It involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body. These needles stimulate the body's energy flow, or Qi, and can eliminate pain, lower stress, and improve sleep quality.

The Benefits of Combing Acupuncture and Chiropractic Care

When chiropractic care and acupuncture are combined, it can help you recover sooner so you can return to your normal routine. Some benefits of combining the methods include:

  • Pain Relief: The ability of acupuncture to stimulate the release of endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers, can complement the pain-relieving benefits of chiropractic adjustments.
  • Reduce Stress: Acupuncture is well-known for helping your body relax and reducing stress. This relaxed state can enhance the effectiveness of spinal adjustments, which help relieve muscle tension.
  • Holistic Wellness: When chiropractic treatments and acupuncture are used in conjunction, they don’t just address physical pain, but also improve your overall well-being.

Testimonial

  • "I visited Dr. Laura after having tension headaches for several months. After the first adjustment, I had instant relief! I have since visited her practice for acupuncture and had the best massage I've ever experienced from Sarah. Dr. Laura is exceptionally knowledgeable in her field, and I highly recommend her!"

  • "Dr. Laura Zaker has helped me realize that the spine is movable. I'm in my early sixties and was skeptical that my persistent back pain could be addressed. After years of sharp pain, within two months, I am amazed that I no longer have the pain. The muscles in my back and neck are no longer feeling strained. I am writing this since I was fortunate to have received this unexpected physical improvement; I am a fan of Dr. Laura Zaker."
