Optimal Wellness & Chiropractic

Chiropractic care is the practice of using spinal alignment to alleviate a wide variety of physical ailments, including muscle strain, neck pain, chronic back pain, and more. This is accomplished by adjusting the position of the spinal column to its proper shape, providing a non-invasive solution for pain relief.

How Can Chiropractic Care Help You?

Many people dismiss chiropractic as being something only for back pain, but chiropractic care can be used to help a wide variety of physical issues, such as migraines and headaches, chronic pain, carpal tunnel, pain due to injury or muscle strain, and much more.

The History of Chiropractic Care

The word “Chiropractic” is derived from the Greek words “cheir” (hand) and “praktos” (done) combined to mean “done by hand.” It was chosen by the developer of chiropractic care, Daniel David Palmer. In 1895, D.D. Palmer performed a chiropractic adjustment on a partially deaf janitor, Harvey Lillard, who later reported that his hearing had improved due to the change.

D.D. Palmer opened the first chiropractic school two years later, and in the century since, chiropractic professionals have used spinal adjustments to help people prevent and cope with back pain, carpal tunnel, muscle strain, headaches and migraines, and a variety of other physical ailments. Millions of people benefit from the work of Dr. Palmer today.

What Kind of Training Does a Chiropractor Have?

Chiropractic doctors go through a minimum of four years of schooling at a chiropractic college, generally preceded by an undergraduate degree in the basic sciences or several years of experience in a prior relevant health care field.

Students of chiropractic care must spend a minimum of at least 4,200 hours with their teacher, and a minimum of 1,000 hours of fully supervised clinical training with an instructor as they learn the appropriate diagnosis and techniques to help heal your body and restore it to its natural, fully functioning state.

Testimonials

“I started to see Dr Stubbs because I was becoming very concerned with my posture, I would look at pictures of myself and notice my head was leaning too far forward. I started to lose self-confidence in myself because I did not know what to do about my posture. I was really lost and honestly didn’t know what to try before chiropractic, I did a couple of exercises but saw no significant improvement. Since getting adjusted I feel like my confidence has returned and I am standing a lot taller. The one thing I did not expect was the time I could stay seated at my desk or standing while performing has increased substantially.”

- Adrian R.

“I sought out chiropractor care because I had mild scoliosis, I had met Dr Stubbs at a networking event and enjoyed his personality. I was just very uncomfortable while sitting in my car and exercising. I had seen another chiropractor but I did not get as much relief from his treatments. Since starting treatment Dr Stubbs has helped relieve tightness in my back. After the examination Dr Stubbs said he might be able to help with my sinus issues and TMJ dysfunction. After a few treatments I stated to feel some decreased pain in my TMJ and I have not had sinus problems.”
