Chiropractic Treatments in Clearwater, FL

Chiropractic Adjustment
In Greek, the word chiropractic means "done by hand." Chiropractic treatments include manual manipulation of your spine and other joints, also known as an adjustment.

To perform a chiropractic adjustment, Dr. Jere uses his hands to apply controlled force to the body and guides it through a range of motion. The result is reduced pain, increased movement, and improved function.

Spinal Decompression Therapy
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment for back pain due to herniated, building, or degenerated discs. The chiropractic technique transfers the force of the spine, taking pressure off of the spinal discs. This contracts the herniated or building discs, which allows them to heal.

Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy is a chiropractic treatment that uses a low-intensity laser to reduce swelling and eliminate spasms. The procedure also helps relieve pain by stimulating the body's cellular activity, promoting the body's natural healing processes.

Cold laser therapy is often accompanied by other chiropractic treatment options, such as chiropractic adjustment and spinal decompression therapy.

Here are some of the chiropractic treatments you may come across at Family Life Chiropractic:

• Chiropractic Adjustment
• Children's Chiropractic
• Emergency Care
• Spinal Decompression Therapy
• Cold Laser Therapy

Muscle Testing

Muscle testing is a diagnostic tool used to identify poor function within the body. During muscle testing, Dr. Jere applies force to a group of muscles. The muscle is then labeled "weak" or "strong" depending on its ability to withstand average resistance.

If weak muscles are detected, Dr. Jere will recommend the appropriate treatment, depending on whether the underlying condition is related to a specific organ or illness.

Back Pain Treatment

Back pain is among the most common conditions treated at Family Life Chiropractic. Dr. Jere uses chiropractic adjustment and spinal decompression therapy to ease back pain. These practices, along with take-home exercises, can help relieve tension and improve function in patients — whether they're suffering from chronic or sudden onset back pain.

• Lower Back Pain
• Shoulder Pain
• Herniated Disc

Neck Pain Treatment

Many things in life can cause neck pain, including stress, trauma, or even internal disorders. Dr. Jere uses a combination of muscle testing, chiropractic adjustment, and cold laser therapy as part of his treatment for neck pain.

Our Clearwater chiropractor also has extensive training in nutritional counseling. Dr. Jere will provide recommendations on nutritional supplements and lifestyle choices to alleviate your neck pain and return you to optimal health.

• Neck Pain
• Upper Cervical Pain

Knee Pain Treatment

Is knee pain impacting your quality of life? Knee pain can be caused by an injury, mechanical issue, or arthritis.

Dr. Jere will address the underlying issue with chiropractic care, relieving tension and increasing the knee's range of motion. Chiropractic knee adjustments offer pain relief, as well as reduced grinding and clicking sensations in the knee. Cold laser therapy may also be employed to stimulate tissue growth and eliminate swelling.

Nutritional Counseling in Clearwater, FL

Your overall health and wellness, as well as your body's ability to prevent pain and inflammation, are affected by what you eat. To offer total care for our patients, Family Life Chiropractic provides nutritional counseling designed to complement your chiropractic treatment.

Dr. Jere is an expert in diet and nutrition. With over 40 years of experience, he uses advanced techniques such as muscle testing to determine which dietary supplements will strengthen your body and allow it to heal.

Auto Injury Treatment

If you've recently been in a car accident, it's vital to get a chiropractic exam immediately. At Family Life Chiropractic, our auto injury treatment typically includes examination and a gentle spinal adjustment.

Additional treatment depends on what was injured during the accident. For example, if you've suffered a neck or lower back injury, then spinal decompression therapy may also be recommended.

Health Services

From chronic fatigue to insomnia and sleep problems, the first sign of an underlying health condition is some kind of symptom. In chiropractic care, the nervous and muscle systems are used, through muscle testing, to find the source of the issue. After this, a chiropractic program is designed to return the patient to complete health.

Conditions Dr. Jere can remedy with chiropractic care include:

• Allergy
• Blood Sugar Level
• Chronic Headache and Migraine
• Chronic Heartburn and Indigestion
• Sinus Relief
• Metabolism Efficiency
• Thyroid Treatment
• Wellness
