Chiropractic
Chiropractic care is a natural, non-invasive way to correct spinal malalignments (spinal subluxations), reduce muscular tension, and retrain the body to function more optimally. This is accomplished utilizing spinal adjustments to correct malalignments, therapy modalities to reduce muscular tension and promote healing as well as active stretches & exercises.
Chiropractic care influences the nervous system allowing the body to heal from the inside out by reducing tensions and stresses. The goal of chiropractic care is restore optimal alignment to increase unrestricted and pain free motion and movement.
Baby Alignment
Optimally Aligning your new born, infant, or child may improve overall mood, sleep patterns, eating, and aid in digestion & bowel movements just to name a few. This adjustment looks and is performed differently as compared to an adjustment of an adult.
Car Accident
Car accidents can throw your alignment off. In the state of Florida, you have 14 days to be evaluated following an auto accident. Just like your car gets an inspection to assess possible issues, it is important to be evaluated by a chiropractor after a car accident to assess your body. We treat infants to elderly and everyone in between!
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a way of further aligning your body. By using energy channels (meridians) throughout the body, tiny acupuncture needles activate and clear these pathways to bring improved sleep, pain relief, stress reduction, and mental clarity. Acupuncture can also facilitate a smoother labor for expecting mommas.
Cold Laser
What is Cold Laser Therapy and can it help me?
The MR4 cold laser used at LOA Chiropractic supplies energy to the body as photons of light. Tissues and cells absorb this non-thermal light accelerating the healing of damaged tissue. The MR4 Laser can reduce inflammation, reduce swelling, ease pain and stiffness. In a car accident or experiencing whip lash of any kind; this could help!
