Westlake Chiropractic Care

The Greek physician Hippocrates once said 'Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases.' That quote gives us an example of just how far back in history spinal manipulation can be traced. Chiropractic care is based upon the belief that our bodies have a natural ability to heal themselves when the body's structure and ability for healthy function are working together. An experienced chiropractor can help balance your body's structure (the bones, joints and muscles) and function, thus promoting natural self-healing. Lake Oswego chiropractors at Westlake Chiropractic clinic are dedicated to providing you with top level care that can relieve pain and suffering and restore quality of life.

What  Exactly Do Our Chiropractors Do?

Chiropractic care is the process a highly trained chiropractor uses to manipulate and adjust the joints of the body, paying particular attention to the spinal cord. The chiropractor primarily uses hands on methods to perform specialized procedures that are geared toward the patient's specific needs. These methods typically do not cause the patient any discomfort and most report positive changes after treatment. The goal is to relieve our patient's pain, increase the body's physical function and promote natural self-healing by restoring and supporting joint function.

While it is well known that chiropractors help with back problems such as low back pain, sciatica and neck pain, they can also help relieve pain and symptoms associated with headaches, migraines sinus problems, arthritis, allergies and asthma related conditions as well as muscle spasms and pain. There are many people who rely on their chiropractor for all of their health care needs, believing in the body's natural healing abilities when things are aligned together and working properly.

There are a variety of specialized treatments used in our rehabilitation center  in an effort to being relief, rehabilitation and wellness to our patients.

• Spinal strengthening rehabilitation, in which the condition of the patient's spine is stabilized then managed for better overall health. This treatment method is the basis of chiropractic care.

• Muscle stimulation attempts to reduce the patient's pain and swelling by actively pumping blood into the affected tissues. Muscle stimulation also works the affected muscle, thus tiring it out and allowing it to relax and ease the patient's pain. This method is often used in the treatment of back pain and migraines.

• Massage therapy is applied by our experienced massage therapist, working the affected muscles as well as the rest of the body so they are relaxed and the blood flows properly.

• Ultrasound technology is another commonly used method of treatment here at our clinic. This deep heat method works to reduce swelling, stiffness and pain in the affected area and the tissues surrounding that area as well.

Lake Oswego chiropractors at Westlake Chiropractic strives to bring our patients high level treatment and relief from pain and suffering. By treating the body as a whole and keeping all systems working together, the body's natural ability to heal itself and stay healthy is supported and therefore overall good health is possible.The body is a wondrous thing, capable of amazing function when properly cared for and our chiropractors can help make that happen.
