You should see a chiropractor as soon as possible to have your spine checked. A person does not need to be in pain to see a chiropractor. Spinal adjustments help a variety of issues that do not necessarily cause pain or discomfort (i.e. constipation, breast feeding, weak immune system, bedwetting, dizziness, infertility, etc.).
There is a wide array of benefits to chiropractic care because when you free the nervous system from interference, it affects every organ, tissue and cell in the body. Some patients experience freedom from pain, increased flexibility, increased energy, improved digestion and elimination, shorter labor, improved immune system, elimination of bedwetting and ear infections, improvement in athletic ability and the list goes on and on.
Chiropractic care takes care of your nervous system. Your nervous system is the master system of your body controlling all perceptions and functions.
Our approach 3 phases:
We support our patients whatever their health goals, but consider something, would you ask your dentist if you have to come for the rest of your life? Which do you think is more important, your teeth or your nervous system?
Vertebral Subluxation is when you have misalignment of spinal segments associated with disturbed function of the nervous system.
Vertebral Subluxations often initially occur without pain and other symptoms. There are three types of stress that cause subluxations: Physical (poor posture, lack of exercise, car accident), Biochemical (poor nutrition, caffeine, smoking) and Psychological (money concerns, family issues, work pressure.
Occasionally a patient will feel some soreness after the 1st adjustment. Dr. Shaw is very gentle while doing her chiropractic adjustments and will tailor her approach to the patient’s comfort level.
At the initial office visit, Dr. Balla gathers information from the patient’s personal history, spinal scan and the physical exam. She takes the time to review all of the information and develop a specific protocol for each patient to meet their health goals. Patients can schedule their Review of Findings and first adjustment as soon as the next day.
In special cases when the patient is in acute pain, we may make an exception to this policy.
Yes!
Dr. Balla is trained in the Webster technique which is designed to remove nerve interference to the uterus. It also balances the pelvic bowl so there is no distortion in the shape of the uterus, allowing the baby to grow without restriction and move into optimal position for birth. Dr. Balla recommends that pregnant women begin chiropractic care as soon as possible.
No. Dr. Balla is trained in many different techniques and patients are adjusted according to what works best for their body.
No, as a chiropractor we do things differently than Medical Doctors. M.D.s take a Mechanistic approach to the body, meaning if you have a stomach problem, they focus on the stomach and prescribe medication for the stomach.
A chiropractor views the body with a Vitalistic approach. We know that everything is connected, and the nervous system controls every function and cell in the body. The same stomach issue may be related to irritation to the spinal nerve that feeds the stomach. Our approach would be to make adjustments to the spine to alleviate stress on the nerve, allowing the body to do the healing.
We currently accept Insurance. We are happy to provide Superbills that can be submitted.
We do not accept Medicare Part B patients for chiropractic. Due to the Medicare regulations, if we do not submit to Medicare we are not able to legally see those patients, even if they want to pay cash. We can see patients that only have Medicare Part A as cash patients. Dr. Balla is happy to refer patients with Medicare Part B.
Medicare patients can be seen at our clinic for Nutritional Therapy, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Myofascial Release, Reflexology, Yoga and Massage but none of these services are covered by Medicare.
At JBS Wellness, we work hard to keep our rates reasonable to make care affordable whether or not you have insurance coverage for chiropractic care.
