Chiropractor in Springfield

Chiropractic is a health field focused on correcting body movement and healing body tissues through the proper movement of the joints. It employs a non-drug, non-surgical approach that corrects the underlying cause of symptoms and allows the body to heal itself.

Our Approach to Care

We do a thorough examination to determine the underlying cause of your situation, and then create a plan to address your issues. Your chiropractor will explain how our approach may be able to help you, and he’ll take the time to answer any of your questions.

We offer a wide range of adjusting techniques, and we customize care to each patient’s specific needs and goals. Our adjusting techniques include

• Diversified: This technique involves your chiropractor manually placing pressure through the affected vertebral segment to restore proper movement.
• Flexion Distraction Disc Therapy: A non-surgical technique, this therapy seeks to increase spinal motion and resolve disc bulges and herniated discs.
• ProAdjuster (instrument-assisted adjusting): This device uses advanced technology to automatically detect the amount of adjustment needed in a patient’s spine.
• Thompson Drop: With this adjusting method, a drop table is used to help chiropractors provide high-velocity, low-amplitude, and low-force adjustments.
• Decompression: This therapy is an effective non-surgical approach that helps restore space between the segments of the spine, promoting healing of the damaged discs. The therapy can help with debilitating pain due to bulging, degenerating, or herniated discs.
• Soft Tissue Therapy: Soft Tissue Therapy is the management, manipulation, and rehabilitation of soft tissues of the body. These include muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
• iMRS: Intelligent magnetic resonance stimulation is a type of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy that improves oxygen circulation, relieves pain, and helps with neuropathy and inflammatory issues.
• Hyperbaric Chamber: This pressurized oxygen chamber is a tube you lie in while pressurized oxygen flows into your body to promote healing.
• Nutritional Supplement: As it can be a challenge to get the vital nutrients we need through food alone, nutritional supplements can help. We offer the highest quality supplements at the practice, and will recommend the ones that are best for your health needs.
• Acupuncture: As a key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture involves the insertion of ultra-thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. Acupuncture can help treat pain, relieve stress and much more.

Care for Athletes

Athletes or anyone who is active or working to become more active place additional demands on their bodies, which can lead to the joints of the spine or extremities becoming misaligned or unable to move properly. With precise chiropractic adjustments, we can restore alignment and motion to the joints, allowing your body to heal and move as it should.

Acupuncture and Meridian Therapy

Dr. Sanders is certified in meridian therapy and acupuncture, and he incorperates these treatment approaches when appropriate for a patient’s condition. Meridian Therapy and acupuncture are excellent choices for helping resolve chronic pain conditions, especially those in which there are soft tissue injury. They also relieve stress, create more balance, and facilitate optimal healing.
