Chiropractic Care
Understanding Chiropractic Care
At Thrive Chiropractic, we view chiropractic care much like regular maintenance for your car—it’s best to address issues before they become major problems. Your spine should ideally have three natural curves when viewed from the side and appear straight when viewed from the front, providing both cushioning and structural support. However, a combination of factors—congenital conditions, past injuries, and lifestyle habits—can gradually pull your spine out of alignment.
Dr. Phillips explains, “Life pulls us asymmetrically. Eventually, over time, your spine is going to start to favor one side.” These misalignments create muscle tension and nerve pressure that build over years until even small movements like coughing or sleeping awkwardly can trigger significant pain.
Our Care Approach
Dr. Phillips uses primarily Full Spine and Diversified techniques, which involve manual adjustments with his hands to gently correct spinal misalignments. These precise adjustments help restore proper nerve function, reduce muscle tension, and improve your body’s natural healing ability. Each treatment is tailored to your specific condition and comfort level, with modifications available for patients of all ages and conditions.
Beyond Pain Relief: The Path to True Health
While you’ll likely feel better quickly after beginning care, our ultimate goal extends beyond pain relief to achieving optimal health. Dr. Phillips emphasizes, “Feeling better is not the goal. You’re going to feel better very quickly, but the difference is being healthy.” True spinal health means your body can better handle life’s stresses—when you do experience occasional discomfort, it resolves quickly rather than lingering for days or weeks.
This preventative approach helps you maintain mobility, flexibility, and function throughout life while reducing the likelihood of recurring problems. We’ll partner with you to develop a care plan that evolves from initial relief to long-term wellness.
Comprehensive Treatment Sessions
Every visit to Thrive Chiropractic includes more than just an adjustment. After your spinal treatment, you’ll enjoy therapeutic time on our intersegmental traction table (roller table) with electric stimulation therapy. This combination helps your muscles relax, reduces inflammation, and enhances the effectiveness of your adjustment so it “holds” longer. The entire process typically takes just 15-20 minutes, allowing you to get exceptional care without disrupting your busy schedule. Our efficient approach respects your time while still ensuring you receive comprehensive treatment at each visit.
Specialized Dry Needling Service
For patients experiencing muscle tension, knots, or chronic spasms, we offer dry needling as an additional service. This effective technique uses thin needles to target specific trigger points in muscles that may not respond to adjustments alone. Unlike what many people fear, Dr. Phillips’ approach to dry needling is painless, takes less than 10 minutes, and provides significant relief for stubborn muscle issues. Available for an additional $25 per session, this specialized service complements your regular chiropractic care for comprehensive pain management and faster healing results.
