Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments are designed to realign the spine and improve nervous system function. Correcting spinal misalignments can alleviate pain, enhance mobility, and promote overall wellness. Our experienced chiropractors use gentle and precise techniques to provide effective relief from back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other musculoskeletal issues.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. This therapy is particularly effective for chronic pain conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and muscle strains. By increasing blood flow and promoting the regeneration of damaged tissues, shockwave therapy can accelerate recovery and reduce pain.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicine technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to restore balance and promote healing. This treatment can help alleviate a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, migraines, stress, and digestive disorders. Our skilled acupuncturists ensure a comfortable and relaxing experience tailored to your individual needs.
What happens during an acupuncture session?
Acupuncture therapy usually involves a series of weekly or biweekly treatments in an outpatient setting. It’s common to have up to 12 treatments in total. Although each acupuncture practitioner has his or her own unique style, each visit typically includes an exam and an assessment of your current condition, the insertion of needles, and a discussion about self-care tips. An acupuncture visit generally lasts about 30 minutes.
Before the needles are placed, you’ll lie down on a comfortable surface. Depending on where the needles are to go, you will lie facedown, faceup or on your side. Make sure that your acupuncturist uses single-use, sterile-packaged needles. You may feel a brief, sharp sensation when the needle is inserted, but generally the procedure isn’t painful.
It’s common, however, to feel a deep aching sensation when the needle reaches the correct depth. After placement, the needles are sometimes moved gently or stimulated with electricity or heat. As many as a dozen needles may need to be placed for each treatment. Once the needles are inserted, they’re usually left in place for five to 20 minutes.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical method used to relieve pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. This treatment is ideal for individuals suffering from herniated discs, sciatica, and other spinal issues. By gently stretching the spine, spinal decompression can improve circulation to the affected areas, reduce pain, and enhance the body’s natural healing processes.

Employment physical examinations may include health inquiries and physical examinations, including psychological tests, and physical or mental health assessments. To protect against discrimination in hiring, the physical examination should be required after a job is offered. The physical examination must be related to the job the applicant will be doing.
Weight Loss Assistance
At West End Chiropractic we can help you meet your weight loss goals. Contact us to participate in a personalized diet and exercise program.
Your weight is a balancing act and calories are part of that equation. Fad diets may promise you that counting carbs or eating a mountain of grapefruit will make the pounds drop off. But when it comes to weight loss, it’s calories that count. Weight loss comes down to reducing extra calories from food and beverages and increasing calories burned through physical activity.
Once you understand that equation, you’re ready to set your weight-loss goals and make a plan for reaching them. Remember, you don’t have to do it alone. Talk to your doctor, family and friends for support. Also, plan smart: Anticipate how you’ll handle situations that challenge your resolve and the inevitable minor setbacks.
But don’t forget the bottom line: The key to successful weight loss is a commitment to making permanent changes in your diet and exercise habits.
