Chiropractic  - for Health and Wellness

There are many health conditions related to spinal misalignment and soft tissue injury that can be treated successfully with chiropractic care. (Frequently asked questions about Chiropractic)

The most common symptoms described by patients are:

• Neck pain
• Neck and shoulder pain
• Upper back pain
• Middle back pain
• Lower back pain
• Back and shoulder pain
• Back and hip pain
• Back and leg pain (sciatica)

Other symptoms related to spinal misalignment are:

• Kidney pain
• Lowered immune function

Most joints can be adjusted too:

In addition to adjusting the spine and pelvis, almost every other joint of your body can be adjusted by your chiropractor. Like the joints of the spine, joints in your extremities can also become misaligned. Adjustment of these joints helps restore normal joint motion, which in turn provides nutrients to the joint, reducing inflammation and pain.

Symptoms related to joint injury include:

• Hip pain
• Knee pain
• Ankle pain
• Foot pain
• Hand pain
• Wrist pain (carpal tunnel)
• Elbow pain (tennis elbow)
• Shoulder pain
• Jaw pain

Chiropractor

Dr. Kenn Seals, Doctor of Chiropractic -

“I work with your spine, not just because
it’s often the source of neck and back pain,
but because it houses and protects your
central nervous system which is key to
your overall health and wellness.”

Your central nervous system controls all your vital life-sustaining processes – whether it’s digesting your dinner, driving a truck, downhill skiing, or responding to infection.

Chiropractic adjustment is one of the key treatments Dr. Seals uses to help patients get out of pain and improve their ability to perform their work or sports activities.

Dr. Seals is a chiropractor, board certified in the states of Utah and Florida.

His chiropractic specialties are:

• Orthopedics (biomechanics and work related injury).
• Auto accident acceleration-deceleration (whiplash) injury.
• Sports injury and sports performance.

and he works with patients who incur injury in work, home and sports environments, for example:

• Work related injury that builds up over time – lifting, reaching, turning, bending, dominant-sided activity, small repetitive motions.
• Injury from sudden stress or accident such as a slip and fall, or motor vehicle accident.
• Sport specific biomechanics. Wear and tear on joints, or muscle imbalance, caused by intense athletic routines.

Chiropractic Evaluation

Dr. Seals begins all patient sessions with an evaluation of the problem you’re presenting. His approach is straight forward and he’ll tell you:

If I can help you, I’ll tell you,
and
if I can’t help you, I’ll tell you that too!”

If your condition can be helped with chiropractic, Dr. Seals will apply the appropriate chiropractic techniques to help you. He may also integrate active release techniques® to help with soft tissue injury.

Dr. Seals will explain his observations so you understand what is causing your condition and what you can do to prevent it happening again in the future.

If your condition cannot be treated successfully with chiropractic, Dr. Seals will explain the situation to you. With nearly thirty years experience evaluating patient conditions, Dr. Seals is able to recognize risk factors as well as individual disease patterns and will not hesitate to make a referral to a medical doctor when it is in the best interest of your health.
