Testimonials
"As a pharmacist in Jeff, I know there's plenty of merit in therapeutic treatment via usage of drugs, but there's honestly no substitution for what Kevin does. His experience and his care shows with every adjustment he performs. I can honestly say I would not have the returning nerve functionality without his adjustments and overall treatment strategies. Without question, he is a master of his domain and I insist that his adjustments should always be considered in the full spectrum of necessary skeletomuscular treatment. He's the man."

Learn More About Chiropractic Care
Dr. Wheat and Dr. Galbraith will begin with a thorough examination and assess your areas of concern, carefully considering your health history. They are trained in x-ray techniques, and may request an x-ray of your back and neck for an accurate diagnosis. Only after this initial examination will a recommended course of treatment be offered, which may consist of chiropractic adjustments, therapies, and rehabilitation.
Our doctors specialize in back, neck, and extremity pain, offering hands-on, non-invasive, and drug-free treatments tailored to each patient, no surgery, no medications, just effective natural care.
Chiropractic supports the concept that proper function of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems can provide for better health. It is a form of health care that is drugless, non-invasive, and actively promotes health.
Chiropractic care is holistic, meaning the entire body and a person's lifestyle are examined and treated. The cause of a patient's physical problem is addressed and lifestyle factors such as diet, posture, exercise, and others are modified to speed recovery and prevent recurrence.
The most common therapeutic procedure is known as "spinal manipulation," or "chiropractic adjustment." The purpose is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become restricted in movement as a result of a tissue injury. Manipulation restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and muscle tightness, and allowing tissues to heal.
Chiropractic adjustment rarely causes discomfort. Patients may sometimes experience mild soreness or aching following treatment that usually resolves within 12 to 48 hours. In many cases such as lower back pain, chiropractic care may be the primary method of treatment, or it may complement other medical treatment.
Chiropractic graduates must have a minimum of seven years of college education. Chiropractic education's foundation in the basic life sciences includes coursework in anatomy, biochemistry, microbiology, physical and laboratory diagnostics, radiology, pathology, nutrition, and public health.
Chiropractic education is similar to medical and osteopathic education except that these practitioners emphasize surgery and pharmacology while Doctors of Chiropractic focus on the diagnosis of musculoskeletal and nervous system disorders and treatment through clinically and scientifically established conservative procedures.
Myth #1: Chiropractors are not real doctors.
A chiropractic college grants a D.C. or Doctorate of Chiropractic degree. Chiropractors are licensed health care providers in every U.S. state. Chiropractic and medical school curricula are extremely rigorous and virtually identical. In fact, chiropractors have more hours of classroom education than their medical counterparts. Just like medical doctors, chiropractors are subject to the same testing procedures, licensing, and monitoring by state and national peer-reviewed boards.
Myth #2: Medical doctors don't like chiropractors.
In recent decades, the opinion of most medical doctors has changed significantly. Several major studies have shown the benefits of chiropractic in helping people with a host of conditions. Hospitals across the country now have chiropractors on staff, and chiropractors and medical doctors are now much more comfortable working together when medical care is necessary as an adjunct to chiropractic care.
Myth #3: Once you start, you have to keep going forever.
You only have to continue going to the chiropractor as long as you wish to maintain the health of your neuromusculoskeletal system. Going to a chiropractor is much like going to the dentist or exercising at a gym: as long as you keep it up, you continue to enjoy the benefits. Routine chiropractic care can help you feel better, move with more freedom, and stay healthier throughout your lifetime.
