At Merrimon Family Chiropractic we are dedicated to providing your entire family with excellent, caring chiropractic care.

Chiropractors can recognize and treat ailments that are very often not attributed to subtle spinal injuries, which are too easily overlooked by many physicians.  We not only can diagnose such injury, but also provide the necessary medical care, and make sure your legal rights are protected, too

Back Pain

If your days and nights are spent in an agony of unrelenting back pain, and the results of traditional medical treatment have been disappointing, there is an alternative. If you would like to learn how your back pain might be relieved once and for all through chiropractic care, please call our office today to make an appointment for a free consultation.

Osteoporosis

It used to be that osteoporosis was considered a disease that affected only the elderly. We particularly associated osteoporosis with older women whose backs were slightly hunched over or those who could no longer stand up straight. Today, the truth is that an estimated 20 million American women suffer from osteoporosis, and 80 percent of them don’t even know it.

Nutritional Wellness Care

Learning to eat right is among the cornerstones of health, and one of the most important goals of chiropractic.  Let our office show you how a proper nutrition program can change your life. Chiropractic is a great addition to a healthy lifestyle that includes proper rest, diet, plenty of water intake and exercise. Children whose bodies are functioning at a more optimal level are more aware, feel better and can focus on more important things in life!

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is a hands-on manipulation of the soft tissue and joints of the body. The soft tissues include muscle, skin, tendons and associated fascia, ligaments and joint capsules. Many of today’s health problems can benefit from massage therapy because the manipulation of soft tissues affects so many of our bodily systems–muscular, nervous, circulatory and lymphatic (immune). Massage therapy’s aims are to restore physical function, alleviate pain, relax tight and tense muscles, improve circulation and recovery time, reduce stress, an increase the sense of well-being. With a therapeutic massage, stress can be significantly reduced. This, in turn, will increase energy, improve your outlook on life, and in the process boost your immune system function.

Sports Injuries

Are you sidelined with a sports injury that is not responding to traditional medical care? Are you not playing at peak efficiency? Many athletes are sidelined with injuries that could have been avoided, or because their injuries do not respond to traditional medical care.  More and more, coaches and athletes are turning away from traditional medical treatment and pain-killing drugs, because the treatments and medicine do not address the cause of the pain. Many activities in your child’s life put strain on the muscles and bones in and around the spine. Getting chiropractic care early on can help children correct and maintain the nervous, immune, digestive, and circulatory systems and keep your child’s body running at its maximum potential.

Carpal Tunnel

Can’t brush your hair or open a jar because of  constant hand pain and numbness?  If you’ve been taking pain killers, and occasional cortisone shots, which only mask the problem temporarily, or if you’re contemplating surgery to correct the problem, you should look first at a possible alternative treatment based on chiropractic.
