We have included information below about the different chiropractic services offered at our office, but please call us at 608-776-4325 if you have any questions!
Chiropractic Care
We provide advanced spinal correction and chiropractic adjustments utilizing various chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic care have chiropractors been able to provide the level of help and expertise that is available today. Dr. Carrie has had years of training, expertise and experience in helping patients get pain relief for back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other conditions that patients don't realize originate from the spine. Dr. Carrie adjusts hands on and will make sure her patient is comfortable with the type of adjusting technique that they want. Dr. Carrie specializes in the Gonstead technique, Diversifed technique, and the Thompson technique.
Exercises & Stretching
At Darlington Chiropractic Clinic, we teach our patients how to perform special "blueprint" exercises which can help strengthen and correct the irregularities in their body which may be causing pain. Many of these corrective exercises can actually be performed in the comfort of your own home to help improve the effectiveness of your chiropractic care and spinal correction plan. In addition to skeletal misalignment, you may be experiencing pain that is caused by muscles and connective tissues which are out of their proper place. Other types of pain such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches are caused by muscles and tissues that are being used improperly, causing injuries over time. In each case, targeted exercises and stretches from Dr. Carrie will help you feel good while also helping your body achieve balance and health.
Lifestyle Advice
Many of our patients come to Dr. Carrie to address a specific pain symptom such as back pain, neck pain or headaches. While she will address each patient's specific condition with chiropractic care, we often find it helpful to "coach" our patients towards achieving a healthier lifestyle. For example, there may be certain activities that you should avoid or do differently to prevent yourself from unintentionally aggravating your particular health challenges. The goal of including lifestyle advice with a chiropractic care plan is to help each and every patient achieve the fulfilling and happy lifestyle they deserve, one that is full of the activities that are enjoyed most. We recognize that every single one of our patients is a whole person, and we use our expertise to help them reach total health and wellness.
Nutritional Counseling
What does nutrition have to do with chiropractic care? The goal of chiropractic care is to help patients achieve total health and balance with their body, and as part of that goal we provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices. Nutritional counseling by Dr. Carrie can assist a patient on their return to optimal health. We also have a weight loss program that has had awesome results and has helped so many people get their life back on track to optimal wellness!
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy does more than make you feel good, it can actually help your body achieve balance and health. Massage therapy offers a natural treatment approach which actually relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. Our massage therapist provides specific massage and muscular therapy that is complimentary to their chiropractic care. Each massage therapy plan is tailored to meet the patient's unique pain condition or injury. The benefits of massage therapy may include the increase of blood circulation, a localized reduction in swelling and the relaxation of muscles. Massage has been known to relieve muscle pain and spasms, increase a patient's range of motion, while also aiding in a patient's recovery. Some investigative studies have even indicated that a single session of massage may help boost your immune system!
Spinal & Postural Screenings
There is a saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Your spinal health is no exception. Posture and spinal screenings by Dr. Carrie can help reveal important health information, unlocking the door to improved health and well-being. In order to help the Darlington community, we provide screenings at community events, health fairs and places of employment.
