At Back Country Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of some of the many different services we offer in our office.
Chiropractic Care
We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing gentle, safe and effective chiropractic techniques. Joint manipulation has been shown to be safer and more effective than various other treatment techniques. The doctors also incorporate other treatment techniques (ultrasound, electric stimulation, hot/cold packs, etc..) to help improve treatment outcome. Drs. Irwin and Uma have years of training and a wealth of experience in spinal and extremity joint manipulation.
Acupuncture
Dr. Uma Mulnick is a certified acupuncturist. Using state of the art technology in the Electro Meridain Imaging, she uses acupunture to balance the whole body while working specifically on an area of complaint. When the body is balanced it has a greater capacity to heal itself. Acupuncture can be performed with or without needles. It is commonly used for pain reduction, headaches, low back pain, sciatica, arthritis, high blood pressure, digestive disturbances, carpal tunnel syndrome, and so much more. As a stand alone treatment, or coupled with chiropractic, acupuncture is gaining tremendous popularity in the United States as more people are seeing the amazing results of acupuncture tretment.
Corrective Exercises
We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises 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. 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 better 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 of our patients is a whole person, and to help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between the doctors and the patients.
Nutritional Counseling
We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patientīs return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another? Dr. Irwin and Uma Mulnick can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs. Optimal nutrition from food and supplementation helps to provide the added boost toward improved healing, optimal health and peak physical performance.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy offers a natural conservative treatment approach that relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. Our office provides specific massage and muscular therapy that is tailored to meet the patient's condition and injury. The benefits of massage therapy may include increasing blood circulation, reducing swelling, relaxing muscles, relieving muscle pain and spasms, and aid in recovery and range of motion.
Spinal & Postural Screenings
Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. Scoliosis can be identified in children and treated to help minimize more serious problems as development progresses. We provide screenings at community events, health fairs and places of employment.
