Chiropractic:
Chiropractic is based on the understanding that good health depends upon a normally functioning nervous system. Many disease processes begin with the body's inability to adapt to its environment; however, we do not treat disease - we remove the spinal stresses from the nervous system which permits the body's natural healing potential to function at its best. The Doctors of the Goldsboro Spine Center address specific problems by locating and adjusting the neuro-musculoskeletal areas of the body that are functioning improperly.
The primary focus of chiropractic is the detection, reduction and correction of spinal misalignments and nervous system dysfunction. Regular chiropractic care is necessary to correct spinal malfunctions to help maintain sound health and fitness because your spine is under constant strain. Improper lifting techniques, poor posture, accidents, falls and bumps, and other causes, can contribute to spinal strain, thus making chiropractic care a needed aspect of your health.
Spinal Rehabilitation:
Spinal rehabilitation is indicated for patients who have developed physical deconditioning of their muscular systems. Rehabilitation is successful by improving muscular endurance, balance, flexibility, coordination and strength through specific therapeutic activities. The goal of rehabilitation is to minimize pain and maximize function.
A variety of therapies are also used at the Goldsboro Spine Center to speed the healing process and improve patient comfort. These include: electrical muscle stimulation, heat or ice, muscle relaxation techniques, spinal traction, and trigger point therapy. The physicians of the Spine Center custom design Swiss ball activities, Synergy System exercises, gait training, bending and lifting stations, balance and proprioception re-training to strengthen, balance and rehab the spine. These therapies can be used in combination with chiropractic adjustments to provide the most effective treatment.

Massage Therapy
Many times people don't know how much stress they are carrying until they have a massage. It is as good thing to feel it and just let go of it. As the licensed massage therapist loosens and stretches muscles and connective tissues, stress and muscular tension are released and melt away. Once you have an awareness of where stress lodges in your body you can begin to do something about it. Through proper health education you can reverse a negative cycle. A neuromuscular massage is often prescribed for injuries and conditions of pain. The goal is to soften the muscles and break up adhesions, so that the doctor can begin spinal care and rehabilitation procedures with minimal discomfort to the patient. Once the body has been freed of muscle spasms and pain, the doctor can begin to restore normal ranges of motion, strengthen, and increase flexibility to the spine. This treatment would aid in stabilizing the spine, which would decrease the chance of future injuries.
Conditions:
The conditions which the Goldsboro Spine Center address are as varied and as vast as the nervous system itself. We use a standard procedure of examination to diagnose a patient's condition and arrive at a course of treatment. The Doctors attempt to find the cause of a health problem rather than simply treat the symptoms. We seek to maximize the natural strengths of the body and its capacity to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery. Some examples of conditions seen in our office are: headaches, neck pain, back pain, scoliosis, work/auto/sports injuries, numbness, tingling, and repetitive stress injuries.
Unique Features
Goldsboro Spine Center focuses on the health of the entire family. The doctors offer free scoliosis examinations for children the first Wednesday of every month. Early detection means better prevention! Everyone functions better with 100% nerve function, and everyone, especially children, deserve the right to express their fullest potential. Chiropractic adjusting procedures are modified to fit a person's size, weight, and unique spinal condition. They are both gentle and specific to the child's developing spinal structures, as well as, an aging adult's condition.
