We are happy to help our patients meet their healthcare goals whether that is wellness care or joint care. We proudly serve people in the Centralia area and animals in the Southern Illinois area.
We strive to make patients not only more comfortable physically, but also make the connection between cause and effect. Whether it is an every day activity, injury, diet alteration or a nutritional deficiency, we try to help the patient recognize the cause and equip them with the necessary tools in order to have long-term success. We offer treatments for the neck, back, low back, pelvis as well as TMJ, shoulders, elbows, hands or paws, hips, knees(stifles, hocks) and feet or hooves. We do our best to make sure the treatment not only helps the patient feel better, but that it is done comfortably. This is done by offering a variety of techniques to best meet the patient need.
The brain controls everything, right? The motion in the spine is vital for communication between the brain and the rest of the body. Without proper function of this communication (the nervous system) the health of the body suffers. This could look/feel like a muscle spasm, back pain, extremity pain, difficulty sleeping, various digestive issues, difficulty getting in and out of car, climbing stairs, or in animals a change in personality, difficulty taking a lead that use to be able to, getting up or off couch/car, difficulties grooming or shoeing. The spine is an important and integral part of a body, and any subluxations or “stuckage” in the spine have the potential to affect many different parts of the body, sometimes areas that may seem completely unrelated. So we use various treatments to restore motion to the spine which betters the communication (the nervous system) between the brain and body, and thus sets the body up for better health.
Nutritional consultations are also offered since chemistry also plays a vital role in the health of the body. Ever think your gallbladder or lack of one may be causing that shoulder pain, or digestive issues cause mid back pain? Nutritional deficiencies are at the core of many of the healthcare issues today so we offer assessments, supplements and dietary information to help patients stay healthy.
