Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy is an effective technique used in chiropractic care to relieve the pain caused by bulging discs that put pressure on the spinal cord, leading to radiating pain, tingling, or numbness down one or both legs. This method is also beneficial in sports injury treatment, helping to restore proper spinal function.

Injury Care at The Health Centers
Auto Injury
One moment everything may seem fine, when suddenly you’re involved in a serious collision. Most people have one thing on their mind after a car accident--their car! However, it’s important to remember that you and your injuries come first. A visit to our Medical, Chiropractic care, or Therapist can help you recover fast and get you back to health as soon as possible. We specialize in damage to soft and hard tissue, ensuring you receive the best treatment available.
How Can The Health Center's chiropractic care help me after an Auto Accident?
We provide you with complete care. Our team of Medical professionals, Chiropractic specialists, and Therapists work together to get you back to health as soon as possible. We have the experience to treat neck and back injuries associated with auto accidents. Many times, individuals who have been injured in a car accident experience such intense muscle pain and stiffness that they simply cannot function normally. When left untreated, this discomfort can lead to serious issues.
After an auto accident, some individuals experience indicators of whiplash injuries right away, such as blurred vision, headaches, shoulder pain, dizziness, reduced range of motion, and arm pain. Whiplash can also result in major back injuries, muscle injuries, ligament problems, and disc damage. Other individuals may be injured and feel nothing at all.
Treating pain or whiplash should never be secondary to bringing your car to the mechanic or working with your insurance company. If you’ve had an auto accident recently, your first priority should be taking the initiative to visit our clinic. We also offer spinal decompression therapy to aid in your recovery. Additionally, we have a special department to take care of your insurance and work with attorneys if the need should arise.

Sports injuries affect people of all ages competing in any sport. From Tennis Elbow to Golfers' Shoulder, our chiropractic care can help with your sprains and strains. We offer effective sports injury treatment without relying on prescription medications that can keep you off the court, field, or gym. Additionally, our spinal decompression techniques can aid in your recovery.
Personal Injury
Accidents happen. When they happen to you, receiving proper chiropractic care is essential for addressing your injury and health, allowing you to get your life back on track. Whether you need spinal decompression or sports injury treatment, we are here to help you.
What is Text Neck & Why is it DANGEROUS ?
Text neck can lead to spinal misalignments, muscle strain, and nerve compression, conditions that the Chiropractors at The Health Centers effectively address through chiropractic care. The dangers of text neck include chronic pain, headaches, and the risk of permanent changes such as herniated discs or abnormal spinal curvature (kyphosis). Additionally, our team provides specialized sports injury treatment and spinal decompression to help alleviate these issues.
Symptoms
Neck pain can manifest as pain, stiffness, or soreness in the neck, upper back, or shoulders, often alleviated through chiropractic care. Headaches, including tension or occipital headaches, may also occur alongside these symptoms. Shoulder pain can present as tightness or spasms, while numbness and tingling might be felt in the arms, hands, or fingers, potentially indicating the need for spinal decompression. Additionally, you may experience muscle weakness in the neck, shoulders, or upper back muscles, which can affect your overall mobility. Many individuals find it challenging to maintain a full range of motion, making it difficult to turn or tilt the neck. Postural changes, such as slumped shoulders or forward head posture, can exacerbate these issues. Eye strain, characterized by dry eyes, blurred vision, or eye pain, may also be a concern. Jaw pain, including discomfort in the jaw or jaw joint, can further complicate matters. Lastly, upper back pain often presents as stiffness, highlighting the importance of proper sports injury treatment to address these interconnected symptoms.
Long Term Effects
Radiating pain: Pinched nerves in the neck can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that extends down into the arms and hands. This condition, known as cervical radiculopathy, can result from pressure on the nerves of the cervical spine, leading to discomfort that travels down the arm and into the hand. Over time, degenerative issues due to long-term strain and stress on the cervical spine can accelerate wear and tear on discs, potentially resulting in disc herniation and arthritis. Chiropractic care, including spinal decompression techniques, can be beneficial in addressing these issues. Additionally, in extreme cases, sustained forward head posture may lead to a loss of the natural curve in the spine, reinforcing the need for effective sports injury treatment.
Chiropractic & Prevention
Chiropractors at The Health Centers provide effective chiropractic care to alleviate the symptoms of text neck by realigning the spine, relieving muscle tension through adjustments and soft tissue therapies, and improving posture with corrective exercises. A chiropractor will assess the condition, potentially using X-rays, and create a personalized treatment plan that includes adjustments to restore proper alignment, massage or myofascial release for tight muscles, and exercises to strengthen and stretch supporting muscles.
How our chiropractors treat text neck:
Spinal adjustments: Chiropractors utilize spinal adjustments as part of their chiropractic care to correct misalignments in the neck and spine that result from forward head posture. This can help alleviate nerve pressure and pain.
Soft tissue therapy: Therapies like massage and myofascial release help break up muscle knots, improve blood flow, and reduce tension in the neck and upper back, enhancing overall mobility.
Corrective exercises: A chiropractor will recommend specific exercises to strengthen and stretch the muscles in your neck and upper back. This not only improves your ability to support your head but also prevents future misalignments, which is essential for effective sports injury treatment.
Posture correction: Treatment plans often include education and ergonomic advice, such as how to position devices to reduce strain and how to hold your head and neck properly, ensuring long-term relief from text neck symptoms.
