Chiropractic Care

Why has Chiropractic become so popular? It is because doctors of chiropractic are the only professionals trained to locate and correct the vertebral subluxation complex. A subluxation can "pinch" or irritate your spinal cord, nerve roots and/or spinal nerves. The subluxation causes body malfunction which can lead to lowered resistance to disease, pain, imbalance and fatigue and can pave the way for ill health. It is sometimes called the "silent killer" because it can slowly eat away at your health and vitality for years without your having the slightest awareness of it. Through manipulation or a chiropractic adjustment Dr. Tankersley can correct subluxations which are misalignments of the spine.

Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

Lifestyle Advice

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.
