A family chiropractor is a chiropractor who treats everyone from the youngest infants to the oldest family members. It is all about being the healthiest you can be, no matter your age. Dr. Molly Fisher of Bedford Family Chiropractic Center in Bedford, PA, provides the treatments and information you need to help live your best pain-free life.
Spinal manipulation
Spinal manipulation is a basic treatment provided by a family chiropractor. Whether it is done manually or with a small instrument, it is used to get the spine back into alignment. You don't have to have had an auto accident, sports injury, or another type of injury to benefit from spinal adjustments. Regular wear and tear and bad habits can cause things to get misaligned and that can lead to your body not working at its optimal level where it can heal itself.
Corrective exercises
Corrective exercises can help you to strengthen your core, which helps provide support for your spine. It includes stretches as well as strength training. Our team will develop an individualized plan for your needs. We will work with you and send you home with a plan that can provide relief for a variety of issues.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is the use of ice to bring down the temperature in the affected area. It can reduce inflammation and pain, especially in the soft tissues after an injury. It provides pain relief by stimulating endorphins.
Wellness care, nutrition, and lifestyle
What you eat and how active you are has a major effect on how you feel and how well your body responds. You don't need to turn into a weekend warrior to be healthy, you just have to keep moving. We will help you with recommendations for exercises that work for you and your life. Swimming is a great exercise that doesn't put stress on your joints. Learning how to balance healthy eating and still enjoying the treats you love is another thing we can help with.
An aspect of lifestyle you may not think much about is posture. It is important to maintain a good posture when you work, but also at home, when you look at your computer, or when you play with your smartphone. You need to make sure that your children also maintain good posture so that it becomes part of their healthy life.
