Mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) is a simple, non-invasive way to support your body’s natural healing and boost overall wellness. By breathing in oxygen at slightly higher pressures, your cells get a boost in oxygen delivery, which can help reduce inflammation, speed up recovery, and support mental clarity. Whether you’re an athlete, recovering from injury, or just looking to optimize your health, mHBOT is a great addition to your wellness routine.

Chiropractic Care vs. Medical Doctor: What's the Difference?

Wondering when to see a chiropractor versus your primary care physician? While both types of doctors are essential for your health, they have different specialties and approaches to helping you feel your best. Understanding these differences can help you build the perfect healthcare team for your needs.

Here is a quick breakdown:

Chiropractic Care

Focus: The relationship between the spine, nervous system, and overall health.

Approach: Proactive and preventative, focused on optimizing the body's natural function.

Treatments: Spinal adjustments, manual therapies, therapeutic exercise, and lifestyle advice.

Goal: To restore proper joint function, improve mobility, and enhance overall wellness.

Medical Doctor (P*P)

Focus: Diagnosing and treating a broad range of diseases, infections, and injuries.

Approach: Often reactive, addressing specific symptoms or illnesses as they arise.

Treatments: Prescription medications, diagnostic tests, immunizations, and specialist referrals.

Goal: To manage or cure illness, treat acute conditions, and manage chronic disease.

It's not about one being better than the other—it's about collaborative care! A chiropractor can be a fantastic partner on your health journey, working alongside your medical doctor to help you maintain optimal function and well-being.

A bulging disc occurs when one of the soft cushions between your vertebrae pushes out of its normal space, often putting pressure on surrounding nerves. This can lead to pain, numbness, and discomfort that can disrupt your daily life.​

If you're dealing with the pain of a bulging disc, chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach to find relief. Chiropractors focus on addressing the root cause of your pain rather than just masking the symptoms.​

Here’s how chiropractic care can help manage bulging disc pain:

Spinal Adjustments Gentle, low-force adjustments help realign your vertebrae, taking pressure off the bulging disc and affected nerves. This can restore proper positioning and reduce pain.​

Flexion-Distraction This technique uses a specialized table to gently stretch the spine, which can help the bulging disc retract and relieve nerve compression. This process also improves circulation to the disc, promoting healing.​

Spinal Decompression Non-surgical decompression therapy involves gently stretching the spine to create negative pressure within the disc. This helps move the bulging material back into place and boosts the flow of oxygen and nutrients needed for recovery.​

Therapeutic Massage Deep tissue massage of the muscles surrounding the affected area can relieve tightness and spasms caused by compressed nerves, helping to restore flexibility.​

Chiropractic care is a holistic treatment that can significantly improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance your quality of life without invasive procedures. In some cases, it may even help you avoid the need for surgery altogether.​

Ever wonder what chiropractic care is all about? 🤔 It's so much more than just "cracking backs"!

Chiropractic is a natural healthcare approach centered on the health of your spine and nervous system. Think of your spine as the protective armor for your nervous system, which controls and coordinates every single function in your body. When spinal joints lose their normal motion, it can irritate surrounding nerves and disrupt communication between your brain and body. This can lead to pain, stiffness, and other health issues.

The goal of a chiropractic adjustment is to restore proper joint movement, which helps to optimize nervous system function and unlock your body's incredible ability to heal itself. It's a safe, gentle, and effective way to improve your overall health and well-being!

Expecting a new addition to your family? Preparing for birth involves more than just packing a hospital bag. Prenatal chiropractic care can be a key component in preparing your body for a successful and smoother birthing process.

By focusing on pelvic balance and alignment, chiropractic adjustments can help create an optimal environment for your baby to grow and move into the best possible position for delivery. A well-aligned pelvis can help reduce the chance of a difficult labor, potentially leading to shorter delivery times and a more comfortable experience for both mom and baby.

Support your body's natural ability to have the birth you desire. Contact us to learn how the Webster Technique and gentle prenatal care can be part of your birth plan!
