Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care at Lac Vieux Desert Health Center is tailored to fit the needs of each patient individually. We understand that although our patients may be diagnosed with the same condition, they may respond differently to different treatments. For this reason, we tailor a specific plan of action to meet your needs and your expectations.

Upon your initial examination, we will discuss with you our findings and what they mean. We will create a custom treatment plan to get you to where you want to be, whether that means feeling better or getting you back to the things you enjoy.

Spinal manipulation (chiropractic adjustment) directly addresses mechanical dysfunction in the spine contributing to your primary complaint. Your doctor will evaluate the surrounding muscles and ligaments to address additional pain generators and rehabilitate the area properly and relieve stress on the body. Lastly, our team will work with you in the office to improve the way you move to ensure not only a full recovery but also significantly reduce the recurrence of the issue.

When your body is experiencing pain, you will adapt to take pressure off that area, thus putting increased stress on other joints. For instance, if you have arthritis in your left knee, you may compensate for this by putting more pressure on your right side, leading to right back problems. During your examination your chiropractor will be sure to look for areas of compensation and address them.

Not all spinal manipulation techniques are the same. If you are hesitant about spinal manipulations your provider can adapt to your concerns and work very gently on areas to guarantee your comfort throughout the process. This adaptability allows us to work with people of all ages, even patients just a few days old!
