Neck and Back Rehab
If you are suffering neck or back pain, and in some cases both, it is very important that you seek chiropractic care to help relieve your pain before it progresses. Back and neck pain can arise in a variety of ways and our goal is to correct the imperfections in the alignment of your vertebrae through a gentle and pain-free adjustment. These adjustments will also ultimately help other parts of your body as well.
The goal of a chiropractic adjustment is to mobilize the joints and tissue in the spine to alleviate stiffnes, along with relieving nerve irritation that can cause sciatica or radiculitis. Dr. Blakely is trained in recognizing where the source of back or neck pain is originating and applying the correct treatments needed to relieve this painful condition.
Treating Pain from Car Accidents
One of the most common origins of back pain is from auto accidents where your body is jolted suddenly and your neck is snapped backforwards or forwards in a rapid motion. It can take weeks or even months for your injuries to start to become evident. But if you are seen early and get the necessary treatment, you will have far less pain (if any) in the future.
We can help you store mobility and reduce your pain, bottom line! Patients come to Dr. Blakely for his experience and success helping individuals with their pain-related needs.
