Chiropractic services focus on diagnosing and treating problems of the spine, joints, muscles, and related nerves, primarily through hands-on techniques rather than drugs or surgery.

Common conditions treated

Low back pain and sciatica.

Neck pain and whiplash-related issues.

Headaches and some migraines.

Mid-back and rib pain, disc-related pain, and some nerve compressions (e.g., “pinched nerve”).

Some shoulder, hip, knee, and other joint or muscle pains related to movement dysfunction.

Services can vary, but commonly include:

Chiropractic adjustment/manipulation: Targeted, controlled forces to specific joints to improve motion and reduce pain.

Soft tissue therapies: Trigger point work, active release, myofascial techniques, or instrument-assisted soft tissue work to relax tight muscles and fascia.

Corrective exercise and rehab: Stretching, stabilization, and strengthening programs to support spinal and joint function.

Spinal decompression or traction for disc and nerve-related complaints.

Adjunctive modalities such as Cold Laser therapy, electrical stimulation & heat/cold.

Lifestyle advice: Ergonomics, posture, activity modification, and self-care strategies.

CereMag is the only product on the market that delivers three brain-supporting forms of magnesium for optimal brain health and function, including enhanced neuroplasticity and focus, improved sleep and a balanced mood. CereMag delivers 200 mg of brain-supporting magnesium per serving. About 30 servings per container. Offered here at Clemenson Chiropractic for $50

Magnesium L-Threonate
Sleep Quality
Poor sleep affects 62% of adults worldwide. Insufficient magnesium intake and poor sleep have been correlated in several studies. Some mechanisms to explain the connection of poor sleep with inadequate magnesium are the ability of magnesium to bind gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors, attenuation of the stress response or its role as a cofactor in melatonin synthesis. In a study of adults with sleep disturbances, 1g of magnesium L-threonate daily resulted in improved sleep quality and duration as confirmed by Oura ring data.

Mental-Emotional Health
A 2023 survey reports that 49% of adults in the United States report frequent stress. Symptoms of low mood and nervousness can occur independently of stress but are often experienced at the same time. In the brain, magnesium supports mood and emotional health by acting as a cofactor for the synthesis of dopamine and serotonin, inhibiting the release of excitatory glutamate and binding calming GABA receptors.

Memory and Concentration
Memory and mental focus are common patient concerns. In an animal model, magnesium L-threonate was found to increase the synaptic density and function of neurons in the brain. A decline in neuronal synapses, their function and consequent atrophy of the brain are associated with impaired cognition, a process that increases with age. In a study of older adults with memory concerns, those that received 1.5 to 2 g of magnesium L-threonate daily demonstrated improvement in executive function, working (short-term) memory and episodic memory.

Magnesium Acetyl Taurinate
Magnesium acetyl taurinate (MAT) was invented by magnesium research pioneer Professor Jean Durlach. MAT is a highly bioavailable form of magnesium with several brain-supporting properties. The acetyl group addition to the amino acid mineral chelate increases its solubility in lipophilic structures, like the brain.

The enhanced delivery of taurine into the brain via the acetyl group facilitates its beneficial neurological actions like preventing excessive excitatory activity through modulation of GABA, glycine, kainic acid and glutamate receptors, enhancing mitochondrial ATP production, increasing antioxidant protection and maintaining normal inflammatory balance. The lipophilic taurine of MAT has its own brain-supporting actions such as neuroprotection, supporting memory, balanced mood and normal cell regenerative processes.

Magnesium Glycerophosphate
Magnesium glycerophosphate (MG) is another magnesium complex with high bioavailability. In addition to delivering magnesium, the glycerol component of MG may have additional brain supporting actions. Glycerol has been found to act as a metabolic reserve for mitochondrial ATP production in neuronal tissue, especially in GABAergic neurons and the hippocampus. Additionally, glycerol serves as the backbone for phospholipid synthesis, a major component of neurological membranes in the central and peripheral nervous system.

Wear loose, comfortable clothing
Ensuring you wear loose and comfortable clothing to your chiropractic appointment is essential. This choice of attire allows for unrestricted movement and provides the chiropractor with easier access to perform adjustments. Opting for such clothing significantly enhances both the effectiveness and comfort of your treatment.

Stay hydrated with water
Hydration plays a pivotal role in preparing for a chiropractic session. Consuming ample water aids in maintaining the health and suppleness of your spinal discs, crucial elements for a successful adjustment. Being well-hydrated not only supports the body’s natural healing mechanisms but also boosts the treatment's overall impact.

Avoid heavy meals 2 hours before
To ensure the utmost comfort and effectiveness during your chiropractic care, it's advisable to avoid consuming heavy meals 2 hours prior to your session. A full stomach can cause discomfort and may impede the body's responsiveness to adjustments. Opting for a light snack, if needed, keeps you comfortable and ready for your treatment.

How to care for yourself after a chiropractic session
After undergoing a chiropractic session, engaging in effective self-care is crucial for enhancing the treatment's benefits and facilitating a smooth recovery. Applying ice to areas of inflammation can significantly reduce swelling and alleviate discomfort. It's also important to follow through with prescribed stretches and exercises; these are designed to support the adjustments made during the session and promote the body's natural healing process.

Staying hydrated plays a pivotal role in post-treatment care, aiding in the recovery of soft tissues and maintaining overall spinal health. Water supports the body's ability to heal and adjust after chiropractic manipulations.

Lastly, scheduling follow-up appointments as recommended by your chiropractor is essential for ongoing care and adjustment. Regular check-ins allow for the monitoring of progress and any necessary tweaks to your treatment plan.
