Laying The Foundation For Optimal Health
Chiropractic care is similar to building a house - things have to happen in a particular order for everything to stand strong and work together correctly. For example, if the walls were built before a solid foundation was poured, the walls would be weak and eventually may even collapse. These concepts apply to our bodies functionality as well. Chiropractic care addresses the root of many common complaints of pain and other poor health related symptoms. Spinal alignment must be achieved (our foundation) before optimal health can be achieved.
Throughout the aging process and daily wear and tear, the spine can become misaligned. However, a properly shaped spine is necessary for nerve signals and blood to flow effectively from the brain to every part of the body. To compensate for bad posture and the daily effects of gravity pushing us down, the body’s muscles may push and pull on different parts of the spine in an attempt to create an open pathway, which leads to many forms of neck and back pain. Additionally, pinched nerves and blood vessels can cause organs to malfunction or wear down quicker over time, leading to many common diseases and medical conditions. Chiropractic treats symptoms like:

A Modern Approach
Chiropractic Care Plans
-
RELIEF CARE
If you are in pain when you come into our office, our first objective is to help you reduce pain and start feeling better as soon as possible. Depending on the severity of the underlying condition, it is typical for a patient to need chiropractic care or adjustments 2-3 times per week for 4-12 weeks.
-
CORRECTIVE CARE
During the corrective phase of chiropractic care, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, preventing further injury or pain. The goal of corrective or restorative chiropractic care is to help bring your body back to 100% functioning. It is typical to need chiropractic care or adjustments about 4-8 times per month for 6-24 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of your issue.
-
WELLNESS CARE
Once your body has fully healed and you are no longer experiencing pain or other pain symptoms, it is important to come in for periodic chiropractic adjustments to avoid further problems. Based on your lifestyle and goals, this phase of care typically requires a quick visit to the office 1-4 times per month.
Our maintenance program is geared specifically towards patients looking for relief or wellness visits. If you are having neck pain, back pain, or headaches that have not been chronic and are looking for relief of symptoms, this program is designed for you! You probably don’t think too much about the force of gravity on your body as you’re walking around each day. It’s just something we all live with. But have you ever paused to consider how gravity is putting stress on your body’s bones, joints and nervous system throughout every minute of every day? After all, gravity keeps our feet on the ground, literally, by pulling our bodies towards the center of the earth. The effects of gravity on your skeletal system can lead to spinal degeneration and arthritic changes. In fact, gravity puts excessive stress on misaligned skeletal systems, which in turn can slowly lead to early degenerative disease and neurological imbalances. You can’t suspend gravity, but you can make smart decisions about your health care and commit to staying active and aligned.
With our maintenance plan, you are coming to our office to maintain the current condition of your spine allowing it to stay healthy and functional for as long as possible. Through routine adjustments and therapies in office and at home, you will begin to reverse the effects of everyday life. Maintenance plans include an adjustment and 3 physical therapies each visit, as well as yearly wellness x-rays.
Chiropractic Maintenance
At Easley Health & Spine, we are a goal-oriented and correction based chiropractic office. We emphasize optimal posture and spinal alignment as the primary goals of chiropractic care while simultaneously documenting improvements in pain and functional based outcomes. Simply put, we want to see you become well and believe spinal correction is an important and critical step in that process. We use the Chiropractic Biophysics model which is both cutting edge and one of the foremost investigated techniques in chiropractic. This treatment method involves 3 important procedures: Exercise, Adjustment, and Traction (E.A.T.). The reason for postural mirror image exercises, adjustments, and traction procedures is to address all the tissues involved in spine and posture alignment. Unlike the relief or maintenance care phase, the E.A.T corrective care protocol is unique to our Corrective care plan. We have treated a wide variety of conditions using this model, including neck pain, migraines, low back pain, hip pain, sciatica, and neuropathy!
Corrective Care
At Easley Health & Spine, we use the Chiropractic Biophysics model which involves 3 important procedures: Exercise, Adjustment, and Traction (E.A.T.).
Exercise: Before your adjustment we recommend a circuit of exercises to “warm up” your muscles and enhance the mobility of the lumbar and thoracic spine. These exercises reinforce chiropractic adjustments, helping to maintain spinal alignment, alleviate pain, and bolster abdominal muscles.
Adjustment: During your adjustment we apply a controlled force to a spinal joint. The goal of this procedure, called spinal manipulation, is to improve spinal motion and the body's ability to move.
Traction: Traction therapy is a form of spinal decompression therapy that relieves pressure on the spine using tools like ropes, slings, and pulleys. It can help with pain relief, flexibility, posture, and overall well-being.
