Dr. John Hopkins — DC, ARNP performing an adjustment. Chiropractic Care LAKELAND SPINE CENTER Fixing More than Just the Spine Pain is unfortunately a feature of many people’s lives, but most times, it need not be a constant or ongoing one. Sometimes the pain is obviously connected to back or spinal issues — herniated, bulging, and what others call a slipped disc, for example. But many other conditions, including chronic pain, have their origin in spinal issues — and some of those conditions may seem far ���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� tunnel, joint pain, tennis elbow, hip pain, arm pain, leg pain, pinched nerves, muscle spasms, neck pain — all these have been traced directly back to the spine. The health of the spine is thus absolutely critical to the overall health of almost every other part of the human body. Sports and auto injuries are also notorious for impacting the spine — and thus, by extension, other parts of the body as well. Lakeland Spine Center is on a mission to provide its patients with better care through chiropractic. The doctors relieve musculoskeletal pain and related disorders with moderate, non-surgical techniques. Rather than surgery, spinal decompression and manipulations use gentle traction and targeted pressure to stretch the spine slowly, encouraging discs and vertebrae to move apart on their own, thus relieving pressure on nerves. Chiropractic techniques allow the body to heal itself, and 90% of spine-related conditions can be resolved with such conservative care, eliminating the risks associated with surgery. Adjustments are often enhanced by the support of nutritional advice and wellness programs. The center’s website offers a plethora of tips and strategies for healthy living.
