About Us
Evidence-Based Chiropractic Care
"The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease."
– Thomas Edison
Whitaker Chiropractic prides itself on being a vital part of the Lakes Region community for more than 30 years. As an Evidence-Based practice, we are constantly educating ourselves on cutting edge technology and scientific research that will positively impact our patients. It also means that I take the time to fully understand your needs, values and preferences first. Once I understand your health goals, I then (and only then) apply clinical treatments based on the newest evidence-based research to achieve results.
Our practice is also a multi-disciplinary office. In that we not only offer Chiropractic Care, but also effective low level laser treatment, deep tissue massage, and offer supplements and other wellness products.
As a practice, our mission is to put our patients first – always!
A High-Level Overview of Our Services:
Traditional Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is a system of therapy focused on the structure of the body, particularly the spine. Chiropractors adjust the body’s misalignment to relieve pain and improve function and to help the body heal itself. If you are in pain, the main focus will be to give you quick relief. Your visits will involve chiropractic adjustments, exercises, muscle therapy, and home advice which will hopefully decrease your pain and improve your function. Most of my patients see results after their first visit or a few adjustments. Once you begin to feel better we will focus on rebuilding your spinal and postural alignment back to a more balanced position utilizing the most up-to-date techniques. This will help you to perform optimally and prevent future spinal degeneration. You will also be shown home exercises to help speed progress and to try to reduce the chances of your problems returning. I enjoy working with adults, athletes, senior citizens and children.
Low-Level Laser Therapy
The results of Low-Level Laser Therapy are clinically and statistically significant. Patients are healing faster from both chronic and acute injuries. The FX635 laser from Erchonia is the only FDA cleared Low-Level Laser to treat heel pain associated with plantar fasciitis and chronic low back pain and whole body musculoskeletal pain. The low level laser is a painless, non-invasive treatment that addresses pain through biostimulation.
