Chiropractic treatment is a hands-on method of health care that uses joint and spinal manipulation to increase function, reduce pain and treat a patient’s overall health and wellness. This treatment also restores mobility, allowing nerves to function freely without interference.
Numerous medical conditions can be treated with chiropractic adjustments: back pain, asthma, headaches, blood pressure, ear infections, neck pain, organ function, sciatica, arthritis, addiction, joint pain, mental health concerns, and scoliosis – just to name a few. Surgery may even be prevented with chiropractic intervention!
Chiropractors can treat problems in people of all ages. A simple screening helps to ensure that all individuals are good candidates for chiropractic adjustment, and Meridian currently offers services at the following locations:

Did you know that when it comes to back and neck pain, chiropractic care can be more effective than massage, yoga, pilates, and even over-the-counter medications? Our experienced health care providers help you manage chronic pain, improve mobility/range of motion, and improve overall wellness.
Chiropractic treatment plans are based on an individual’s musculoskeletal problems and can offer an alternative treatment option for many people seeking relief. Common benefits of chiropractic services include the following:
Meridian’s chiropractors meet with you to discuss your problems, health history and complete a preliminary examination. Then a personalized treatment plan is created and treatment begins. No referral from a primary care physician is needed to begin chiropractic care.
If you’re suffering from chronic pain due to a workplace injury, a chiropractic treatment plan from the doctors at Meridian HealthCare can help relieve your pain and get you back to work.
Chiropractic care can play an important role in recovery, even after an injured worker has received medical treatment or physical therapy. In fact, chiropractic visits can positively impact pain management and a person’s ability to perform work-related tasks.

Personal injury can come in many forms: car accidents, fall accidents, or simply use/overuse injury. Unfortunately, these situations can result in long-lasting pain and sometimes lead to dangerous dependency on pain medication. But, regardless of how your personal injury accident occurred, it’s important to know that chiropractic treatment can help you recover from these types of musculoskeletal and soft tissue injuries.

During pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes many changes. In addition to carrying twenty to thirty pounds of extra weight by the third trimester, the abdominal muscles weaken, and the curve of the lower spine becomes more pronounced (compressing the spinal nerve and leading to lower back pain). Unfortunately, pain medication is not the best option for during pregnancy, but the good news is that relief can be found with chiropractic treatment!

Who can benefit from chiropractic services?
Most patients who seek chiropractic services suffer from spine or joint pain (ex. chronic low back pain, neck pain, etc.). However, other individuals with health issues (ex. migraines, asthma, etc.) can also benefit from chiropractic care. Often the sooner a patient seeks treatment, the sooner we can begin working on the issue and the better chance for improved results. Chiropractic adjustments are pain-free, but some soreness (similar to muscle aches after a workout) are a common side effect.
How many chiropractic sessions will my insurance cover?
The number of sessions depends on your insurance carrier. However, Medicare and most insurances cover approximately 12 chiropractic care visits. Please check with your insurance to confirm what they will cover.
How long until I start feeling better?
On average, most patients start noticing improvements within 3-6 visits. Depending on the type of pain being treated, some patients with chronic, persistent problems may need to come back on a regular basis to manage their pain and improve function so they can enjoy everyday activities.
How do I make a chiropractic appointment?

Chiropractic’s joint and spinal manipulation may be exactly what you’ve been searching for, whether you’re seeking pain treatment or simply a medication-free alternative to a variety of health-related issues.
Remember, only a licensed chiropractor – a doctor of chiropractic (DC) – should be conducting adjustments. Our chiropractors may also suggest additional therapies to coincide with chiropractic treatment for medication-free pain relief (including heat/ice, massage, stretches, exercises, etc.).
