Wilmington Chiropractic Center Treats Back Pain, Headaches, and Herniated Discs

Hearing the word "chiropractors” typically makes many people think of issues revolving around back pain and the spine. While that is certainly true, Chiropractic Central in Wilmington goes far beyond back pain to treat a variety of ailments that can benefit from our specialized treatment plans. We can set up a program to help treat ailments that range from ADHD to asthma, ear infections to bed wetting, whiplash and auto accident injuries to stress-related maladies. Using both traditional care and alternative methods, our lead chiropractor Dr. David Lude consistently lives up to his motto of, “Your needs are central to my care,” and our knowledgeable and compassionate staff follow suit.

Wilmington Chiropractors Offer Massages, Adjustments, and Nutrition Counseling

Before we begin any type of treatment plan, Dr. Lude provides a full assessment of the situation and physical exam of the patient. Our chiropractor first gathers the background and information needed to determine the root cause of the problem. Unlike pain killers or other drugs, our goal is not to mask or simply alleviate the pain, but to get to the cause of the pain to alleviate the cause behind it. By treating the source of your pain, we are able to provide real and long term relief.

Headaches, for example, can be caused by a pinched nerve, stress, both, or a combination of factors. Back pain, too, can have myriad causes, including a misaligned spine, a herniated disc, consistent poor posture, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, or a long-ago accident or injury. Even when ailments might seem straightforward, such as neck pain following a whiplash injury, there may be more damage than is immediately apparent. Unless the underlying condition is treated, the issue can progressively get worse and more severe.

Our chiropractors' advanced chiropractic treatments include spinal decompression and spinal manipulation, both of which can alleviate pain and other symptoms. Spinal decompression relieves the buildup of fluid and pressure in the spine. Spinal manipulations, also known as adjustments, gently guide the backbone into its full range of motion to help restore it into its natural position. Adjustments can help alleviate the back pain of subluxation, or misalignment of the spine, which remains a common malady. Because the spine houses so many nerves, ensuring spinal health also ensures overall health.

Other treatments we offer, which can either supplement Dr. Lude’s chiropractic methods or be used on their own, include massage and other forms of physiotherapy. Our Wilmington clinic offers whirlpool hydromassage therapy, intersegmental and mechanical traction, moist heat and manual therapy, and cryotherapy, which is often also known as cold therapy. Our chiropractors can also provide therapeutic exercise and work-hardening rehabilitation programs, nutrition counseling, spinal and postural screenings and lifestyle advice.

Even clients with no apparent health issues can benefit from the comprehensive wellness programs we offer to ensure they keep it that way. We offer the ease of requesting an appointment online, for both new and existing patients, and are happy to answer any further questions or address additional concerns.
