Empowering your body to move at its fullest potential.
What is chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a natural, noninvasive approach to health. It focuses on treating your bones, muscles, and joints–especially the spine–by using hands-on adjustments to help your body move and feel better. Chiropractic embraces the philosophy that the body has everything it needs to function perfectly when given the right environment and input. You are a well-designed machine!
Your chiropractic care begins with a look at your body’s structure: how the bones and connective tissue are working together and responding to the messages they receive from your nervous system. If any component is out of place or if there’s a kink in the communication from your brain, you’ll experience discomfort or dysfunction. This could be as obvious as knee pain or less straightforward such as digestive issues and brain fog.
A chiropractic treatment will almost always incorporate manual adjustments and spinal manipulations. At Be Well Spine and Soul, you’ll likely receive some soft tissue work and stretching as well. Dr. Tom will accommodate your personal comfort levels with hands-on therapy – we care for everyone from infants to NFL players to great-grandmothers. You are in strong yet gentle hands here!
At Be Well Spine & Soul, we will happily recommend specific supplements or diet changes, but we will never prescribe drugs. And while some injuries may ultimately require surgery, we will explore every possible option to avoid it first.
Why should I see a chiropractor?
You have pain, stiffness or limited range of motion.
Chiropractors are the musculoskeletal experts of the healthcare world. They receive specialized training that general MDs do not and understand the mechanical functions of the body in real-world situations.
You are an athlete, you use your body for your work, or you are generally very active.
Your body is a high performance machine! Even if you are not experiencing an acute injury, regular chiropractic care keeps your body functioning at top speed and strength. Preventative visits with our team will result in improved performance, faster speed, better coordination, and increased power. Dr. Tom will correct imbalances, tightness, and joint restriction before they lead to injury. If you run, lift, pull, haul, jump, strike, or push on a daily basis, chiropractic care should be part of your regimen.
You want quality time with a doctor who knows you.
Dr. Tom starts seeing patients when they are hours old and well into grandparenthood. You will have the peace of mind and comfort of being treated by someone who compassionately listens to you, hears the nuances of your life and sees how your path affects your well-being. Patients walk out of our clinic feeling physical and mental relief after hands-on therapy that energizes them in body, mind, and spirit.
You plan on living a long, active life.
Do you want to be the grandparent that can still wrestle with the grandkids when they’re big and rambunctious? Planning to hike, ski, swim or play pickleball as a centenarian? Are you committed to traveling the world while carrying your own suitcases well into your eighties or nineties? Spinal and joint health are where longevity starts. Preserve your mobility and independence, improve your balance and prevent falls, reduce wear and tear on your joints, and keep organs functioning properly by maintaining the structure of your body. You can’t start chiropractic care too early.
You prefer natural pain relief and avoid medication.
The manual adjustments, stretches, and therapies provided by chiropractic allow holistic-minded folks to alleviate pain without over the counter medications, which only mask the problem. Pain is your body’s way of notifying you that something needs to be corrected. Chiropractors know how to translate that language so they can identify what’s actually causing the pain and resolve it.
