Massage Therapy | Our Brunswick, GA Massage therapy and partners at Wellman Family Healthcare does more than make you feel good, it can actually help your body achieve balance and health. Massage therapy offers a natural treatment approach that actually relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. Our Heroes for Health partners provide specific massage and muscular therapy. Each massage therapy plan is tailored to meet the patient’s unique pain condition or injury. The benefits of massage therapy may include the increase of blood circulation, a localized reduction in swelling and the relaxation of muscles. Massage has been known to relieve muscle pain and spasms, increase a patient’s range of motion, while also aiding in a patient’s recovery. Some investigative studies have even indicated that a single session of massage may help boost your immune system!

Neuropathy | Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and the most debilitating balance problems. This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet which causes the nerves to begin to degenerate due to lack of nutrient flow. Unfortunately, there are many causes of Neuropathy including Diabetes, exposure to chemicals or toxins, and spinal stenosis. Many Veterans suffer from Neuropathy and have even been associated with Agent Orange exposure for some Vietnam Veterans. Using state-of-the-art equipment and the latest technology we combine our in-office protocols coupled with the equipment you can use in the comfort of your own home. Our team of doctors teaches you how to take charge of your own health in order to help you achieve the best outcome.

Nutritional Counseling | What does nutrition have to do with chiropractic care? The goal of chiropractic care is to help patients achieve total health and balance with their bodies, and as part of that goal, we provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices. Nutritional counseling by our experienced health professionals can assist a patient on their return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you?

Our state-of-the-art equipment offers benefits for those suffering from chronic knee pain due to osteoarthritis, previous injury, failed surgery, and more.

With chronic knee pain affecting the steps, you take on a daily basis, improving quality of life is of utmost importance. |
Spinal Decompression | Our Heroes for Health providers at Wellman Family Healthcare offer the latest technology in spinal decompression. Unlike yesterday’s treatment solutions, our state-of-the-art equipment offers therapy without all those cumbersome restraints, while offering lasting relief and targeting all involved areas. This therapy is delivered through gentle stretching of the spine, joints, and a wide range of important muscles, including those in the back, neck, hips, and thighs. The goal is to rehydrate the spinal disc and remove dangerous nerve pressure that can lead to long-term complications if not corrected. Decompression is the perfect solution for patients suffering from spinal disc problems, sciatica, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, and other spinal related conditions by offering non-surgical options with shorter treatment times which means better patient results, no downtime for patients causing them to miss work or activities, and doesn’t require dangerous pain medications or injections. It’s been proven to prevent spinal surgeries and get patients feeling better quickly. |
