Lamp Chiropractic: Treating the Whole Body for Optimal Health
At Lamp Chiropractic, we take a comprehensive approach to chiropractic treatment. We don't just focus on the typical back, neck, and middle back pains, we also examine the entire body structure in relation to treatment. Our goal is to provide our patients with relief from pain and discomfort, and to improve their overall health and wellness. Our chiropractors use a variety of techniques to help our patients achieve optimal health. We utilize manipulation techniques to adjust all the joints in the body, not just the spine. We also provide education to our patients, helping them to understand the causes of their pain and how they can prevent it from recurring. We use stretching and other therapies to promote healing and restore proper function to the body.
