Our Mission
Optimum Chiropractic Wellness & Massage is an office committed to improving and maintaining the health of the community. We feel this is best achieved through structural spinal improvement and reduction of nervous system pressure.
With this approach we look to remove the cause of symptoms — not just the symptoms themselves. This process reduces unwanted stresses from your spine and consequently other joints in your body — the stresses that result in wear and tear later in life.
Let's get your body and nervous system to function at their highest potential so that you can live a better life!
What We Help With
Dr. Kevin and Dr. Jason have worked extensively with a wide range of conditions — from pinched nerves and sciatica to headaches and joint pain.
A pinched nerve is caused by a vertebra in your spine that shifts out of position. As the bone shifts more and more it eventually begins to compress and inflame the nerve. This process causes the body to function less efficiently and alters our movement patterns by not only reducing the range of motion of the joint, but facilitating muscle spasm.
Have you ever felt like you are walking crooked? Maybe your hips do not feel straight or your neck feels "crunchy"? You probably have an alignment issue. While you may not feel any pain, correcting a problem like this early on will keep your joints from wearing more quickly in the future.
Sciatica is a general term for nerve related leg pain. These symptoms may range from numbness, tingling, hot/cold sensation, cramping, restless legs, and leg weakness. Even though your problem is felt in your legs or feet, the real issue stems from your lower back. At this stage your problem is more advanced, but luckily chiropractic care can still help.
The intervertebral disc is a disc-shaped piece composed of fibrocartilage and water (up to 80%!) that sits between each vertebra in your spine. In the middle lies a gel-like marble called the nucleus pulposus that acts like a pivot for the joint. If the disc becomes dehydrated it begins to wear and lose height. The nucleus then migrates backwards toward the spinal cord and main nerves that exit the spine, which can cause pain and discomfort into the arms and legs.
Tight muscles are caused by a wide range of reasons: direct trauma, problems with spinal alignment, pinched nerves, daily stress, chemical stress, mental stress, intense exercise, and even inactivity. Chiropractic adjustments along with massage therapy are instrumental in unlocking these fibers — relieving pain, reducing inflammation, and increasing your range of motion. Remember, your muscles are controlled by nerves; problems we think are “just muscular” are often secondary to a bigger problem – poor spinal alignment.
We have wonderful massage therapists on staff who work effectively using multiple techniques such as deep tissue, Swedish, cupping, myofascial release, trigger point release, reflexology, and more.
