Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care at First Merritt Chiropractic focuses on restoring joint function and reducing inflammation through manual spinal adjustments. This service targets pain relief, improves nervous system communication, and enhances overall mobility. Patients benefit from personalized treatment plans addressing back pain, neck pain, and chronic conditions, supported by evidence-based techniques that promote long-term wellness and prevent degenerative issues.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy alleviates pain from herniated or bulging discs using the Triton DTS system. By creating negative pressure in targeted discs, this non-surgical treatment encourages rehydration and healing. Ideal for sciatica, spinal stenosis, and post-surgery recovery, sessions are painless and typically require 20 visits over 46 weeks, with clinical studies showing up to 90% improvement in disc herniation cases.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture at First Merritt Chiropractic stimulates specific points to balance Qi energy and trigger the bodys natural healing processes. This service reduces pain, inflammation, and stress by releasing endorphins and improving circulation. Effective for migraines, arthritis, hormonal imbalances, and mental health conditions, treatments integrate Eastern and Western approaches to address both symptoms and underlying health issues.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy uses low-level light to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation without heat. This service targets conditions like plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel, and soft tissue injuries by enhancing cellular metabolism and reducing oxidative stress. Patients experience pain relief and improved recovery times, with applications for both acute injuries and chronic pain management.
Nutrition Response Testing
Nutrition Response Testing identifies health imbalances through muscle reflex testing and designs personalized supplement and diet plans. This service addresses food sensitivities, digestive issues, and systemic inflammation by restoring nutrient absorption and metabolic balance. Patients report increased energy, weight loss, and improved chronic condition management through tailored natural health programs.
