Patients We See

At Innovative Health & Wellness Group, chiropractic care can benefit people of all ages and walks of life. We are dedicated to providing a safe and effective approach to healthcare, focusing on improving your overall well-being and promoting long-term health. Here’s an in-depth look at the types of patients we see who benefit from our services:

Athletes and Active Individuals:

For athletes and those who lead active lifestyles, pushing their bodies to the limit can sometimes lead to muscle strains, joint pain, and injuries. Our chiropractic care can play a vital role in your recovery journey. Regular adjustments can help:

• Reduce pain and inflammation: Chiropractic adjustments can help improve joint mobility and function, promoting faster healing of muscle strains and reducing pain caused by repetitive movements.
• Enhance performance: By optimizing your body’s alignment and nerve function, chiropractic care can improve your range of motion, flexibility, and coordination, potentially leading to better athletic performance.
• Prevent future injuries: Chiropractic care can identify and address any underlying imbalances or misalignments in your spine that could contribute to future injuries. Our team can also recommend corrective exercises and stretches to strengthen your core and improve stability.

We utilize a variety of techniques tailored to your specific needs, including:

• Spinal adjustments: Our chiropractors use gentle and targeted adjustments to restore proper spine and joint alignment.
• Soft tissue therapy: Techniques like massage therapy and trigger point therapy can help relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce pain.
• Rehabilitation exercises: We can develop a personalized exercise program to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and promote proper movement patterns to prevent future injuries.

People Seeking Alternative Sports Medicine:

We understand that some individuals prefer to explore alternative approaches to traditional sports medicine. Our chiropractor, Dr. Erin, is experienced in providing a combination of treatments that can effectively manage pain and improve athletic performance without relying solely on medications or surgery. Here are some of the alternative sports medicine techniques we offer:

• Functional Exercises: Focus on improving your body’s overall function and movement patterns specific to your sport.
• Cupping Therapy: This technique involves placing silicone or glass cups on the skin to create suction, promote blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and relieve pain.
• Graston Technique: This instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization technique helps to break down scar tissue and adhesions, improving flexibility and range of motion.
• Interactive Metronome Training: This program utilizes visual and auditory cues to improve neuromuscular coordination, reaction time, and balance.

Expectant Mothers (Prenatal Care):

Pregnancy is a beautiful yet challenging period for a woman’s body. Chiropractic care can be a valuable addition to your prenatal care routine, offering several benefits:

• Improved spinal and pelvic alignment: Regular adjustments can help ensure proper spine and pelvis alignment, contributing to a more comfortable pregnancy and potentially an easier delivery.
• Reduced back and pelvic pain: As your baby grows, the added weight can strain your back and pelvis. Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate this discomfort.
• Enhanced nervous system function: Proper spinal alignment is crucial for optimal nervous system function, which can positively impact your overall well-being during pregnancy.
• Improved overall health and well-being: Chiropractic care can address other factors impacting your health during pregnancy, such as improving sleep quality and reducing nausea.

Our chiropractors are Webster Technique Certified, allowing them to provide specialized adjustments that focus on the sacroiliac joints in your pelvis. These adjustments can improve pelvic alignment and encourage the baby to achieve a head-down position for delivery.

Newborn and Infant Care:

The birthing process can be a physically demanding experience for a newborn. The stress and pressure placed on an infant’s spine and nervous system during delivery can sometimes lead to misalignments. Our gentle chiropractic adjustments can help address any issues that may occur, potentially improving overall health and reducing issues like:

• Colic: Chiropractic care can help improve nerve function in the digestive system, potentially reducing colic symptoms like gas, fussiness, and crying.
• Ear infections: Misalignments in the spine can affect ear drainage, contributing to frequent ear infections. Chiropractic adjustments improve drainage and reduce the risk of infections.
• Reflux: Chiropractic care can address nerve imbalances that may contribute to infant reflux symptoms.
• Sleep problems: Gentle adjustments can help improve nervous system function, promoting better sleep for your baby.

Children and Adolescents:

Children are constantly growing and developing. Chiropractic care can ensure proper spinal alignment throughout these crucial stages. Here’s how chiropractic care can benefit children and adolescents:

• Improved posture: As children learn to walk, run, and participate in sports, they may develop poor posture habits. Chiropractic adjustments can help correct postural imbalances and promote proper spinal development.
• Reduced risk of injuries: Maintaining proper spinal alignment can help prevent injuries caused by falls, sports activities, or carrying heavy backpacks.
• Addressed “tech neck” issues: Excessive phone and computer use can lead to a condition called “tech neck,” characterized by a forward head posture and neck pain. Chiropractic care can help address these issues and promote better neck and shoulder alignment.
• Enhanced athletic performance: Regular chiropractic adjustments can improve flexibility, range of motion, and coordination, potentially leading to better athletic performance in young athletes.
• Management of growing pains: Growing pains are a common occurrence in children. Chiropractic care can help alleviate discomfort associated with growing pains by improving circulation and reducing muscle tension.

Seniors:

As we age, our bodies naturally experience changes that can affect our mobility, balance, and overall well-being. Chiropractic care can be a valuable tool for promoting healthy aging and improving your quality of life. Here are some of the benefits chiropractic care can offer seniors:

• Improved mobility and flexibility: Regular adjustments can help maintain proper joint function and range of motion, allowing you to stay active and independent for longer.
• Enhanced balance and coordination: Chiropractic care can improve nervous system function, which can positively impact balance and coordination and potentially reduce the risk of falls.
• Reduced pain and stiffness: Arthritis and other age-related conditions can cause pain and stiffness. Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate these symptoms and improve your overall comfort.
• Improved circulation: Proper spinal alignment can promote better blood flow throughout the body, improving overall health and well-being.
• Reduced dependence on pain medication: Many seniors rely on pain medication to manage chronic pain. Chiropractic care can offer a natural and drug-free approach to pain management.
