Chiropractic and acupuncture give your body, mind and spirit the clarity you need to get moving in your life.  Your spinal cord is the foundation of all the body's vital functions and acts like an electrical conduit, sending the brain's signals to all the right places.  However, everyday stresses can put crimps in this vital electrical cord.  When this happens, the delicate balance of the spinal column goes out of alignment, affecting the healthy flow of impulses to every area of your body, leaving you in pain.

Chiropractic Heals Naturally

Gentle adjustments to the spine and body made by your chiropractor allow the  nerves to receive and send impulses correctly, which help maintain your overall health and mood.  Many people use chiropractic and acupuncture treatments to help stiff muscles, neck and back pain, migraine headaches, arthritic and nerve pain.

Every Treatment Plan is Unique

Every chiropractic and acupuncture patient is unique, and your treatment plan wiull be specially tailored to your body's needs.  Before you begin chiropractic or acupuncture care, Dr. O'Dea will discuss your symptoms and preform a comprehensive spinal exam to locate spinal misalignments.  He may also take x-ray films to determine the exact nature of your spinal problems.  Then he will design a personal plan of treatment to correct your spinal misalignment, restoring your body to optimal health.

You will be treated frequently at first to ensure your body is responding well to the adjustments.  After that, treatments are performed on a decreasing frequency.  Once you're feeling better and your health has been restored to its maximum, you'll visit the office for periodic adjustments only when yoiu need to.  To help maintain your body's optimal health, we offer a variety of natural health products ranging form vitamin and nutritional supplements to a full line of orthopedic pillows.
