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.

Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy and for Joint Pain and Injuries

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 dysfunction in the spine contributing to your primary complaint. Not all spinal manipulation techniques are the same. If you are hesitant about spinal manipulations your provider can adapt to your concerns and work 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.

When you are experiencing pain, your body will compensate 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 lower back, leading to right back problems. During your examination, your doctor will be sure to look for areas of compensation.
