Thousand Oaks Chiropractor Provides Chiropractic Care and Nutritional Counseling

If your body has sustained an injury, you may suffer from back pain, neck pain, headaches and other chronic sources of pain. This is due to a misalignment in the musculoskeletal system. For example, the force of auto or sports injuries can cause a disc in the back to herniate. When this happens, the disc may compress nearby nerves, causing pain. While medication can temporarily relieve this pain, the only way to achieve long-lasting relief is by restoring alignment to the body. This helps the disc by relieving pressure on the nerve.

Proper alignment is also essential to preventing future injury. If your body is in pain, it’s natural to compensate for this pain by altering movements or putting added pressure on a different body part. This can lead to new strains, sprains or injuries. Chiropractic adjustments restore alignment, relieve pain and protect against future injuries.

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese healing art that can naturally relieve your pain and stimulate internal healing. Thin needles are precisely placed at pressure points throughout the body that correspond with different nerves and internal organs. Stimulating a pressure point helps stimulates the body to naturally release pain killers.

Massage therapy has similar healing and pain relief benefits. The act of massaging muscles promotes the flow of fresh, oxygenated blood, which flushes out toxins and lactic acid. The physical act of massaging muscles releases tension and relieves spasms, which is especially helpful for healing sore or stiff muscles following sports and auto injuries.

Following an injury, it is natural to experience stiffness or soreness in the body. Rehabilitation exercises are an important complement to chiropractic treatments. These exercises restore a full range of movement, motion and flexibility to the body. They can also help correct altered motions or movements, which prevents future injury.

Did you know that proper nutrition is important not only for healing from an injury but also for whole body wellness? When our cells don’t have the right balance of nutrients, our body is at risk for injury and illness. Our chiropractor Dr. Sharon Dollase provides nutritional counseling based on the results of Functional Intracellular Testing. This diagnostic test determines micro-deficiencies at a cellular level. By restoring proper nutritional balance, our chiropractor can help optimize our body’s cellular processes. Our nutritional counseling helps the body recover faster from injury while promoting long-term wellness.

If you are suffering from pain or healing from an injury, there are safe, effective and natural alternatives to medication and surgery. Our Conejo Valley practice has helped hundreds of Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park and Westlake Village patients heal and live full, active lives. Our chiropractor can help you, too!
