services

Kennedy Chiropractic offers a wide variety of services all geared toward reaching our patient’s individual health goals. Being healthy is hard work and there are not many health care facilities out there that work on health, wellness, and staying well for life. The focus is usually on relieving a patient’s immediate symptoms which is a very noble thing to do but that does not mean the patient is healthier just because the symptom is gone. This is what I mean: If a patient was experiencing severe headaches due to constipation and was given a shot to reduce the headache or make the headache go away, would this patient be healthier? Of course not! It is wonderful to not have a headache but the headache was a warning sign that the body was toxic and getting sick due to the absorption of waste products because of the constipation. To become healthy it would be necessary to get the person to have normal bowel movements to get rid of the toxic material and then the headache will go away naturally. Now that is health care and not just symptom care. You would not cover the oil light when it turns on with Duct Tape so you could not see the light anymore would you? Why would you do that with your body then?

Our chiropractic services include many different techniques. The doctors have practiced dozens of different approaches to spinal adjustments ranging from very gentle but effective techniques that can be used on infants and the elderly all the way up to aggressive techniques that have been used on world-class athletes. The doctor will work with each patient on an individual basis to determine which technique is right for that person’s needs. The doctors use a hands-on approach, however some instruments are used to deliver gentle and very accurate adjustments in specific cases. Whichever technique or techniques are used rest assure you will be given the best care with the least amount of discomfort possible to get the maximum relief as quick as possible so other health issues can be fully addressed.

We go one step further than most chiropractic offices. We employ the use of exercise to stabilize the muscles around the spine to reduce the chance of recurring episodes of pain. Getting your spine adjusted back into place is a great thing but we believe it is even greater if we can keep it there. This is why we get tremendous results that last. If the doctor is the only one doing the work, then the results can be short lived and you will be making frequent trips to the doctor for episodes of pain returning. It is not like we do not want to see our patients anymore it is just that we would rather see our patients for a healthy check up once in a while instead of doing another expensive and time consuming treatment plan all over again. Doing posture strengthening exercises and a stretching routine keeps our patients feeling well and looking great with excellent posture. Our spinal rehab exercises are designed to support each patient on an individual basis.

Do you know what kills more Americans than anything else each year? Most people say heart disease and they would be right. Cancer and diabetes are fighting close behind. But the common thing in all three groups is that most of these deaths can be attributed to the person being overweight. So it is our mission to fight fat with everything we’ve got. That is why we hold a weekly weight loss class to equip our patients and their family and friends with the information to lose the weight, keep it off, get into shape, and stay fit for life. This is not some quick fix diet fade. Those things can work temporarily but the weight always seems to come back and even more at times. This is designed for real people who go to real grocery stores who like to eat real foods. It is a common sense program that will change you from the inside out so you will look at foods differently and you will actually enjoy exercising. This is something you can do for life and it works!
