Our focus is to educate and extend awareness of the various health and wellness options such as Chiropractic, Massage, Nutritional Counseling and Fitness opportunities available for those who graciously offer daily acts of service for our freedom and safety. These services will open doors beyond linear healthcare to improve the overall well-being of the patient, reduce cost and limit the ongoing risk of prescription medication and opioid addictions.

treating the cause, not the symptom

Chiropractic Services

Our partners at Wellman Family Healthcare provide advanced spinal correction and chiropractic adjustments utilizing “state of the art” chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic care have chiropractors been able to provide the level of help and expertise that is available today. Many of the newest chiropractic techniques are actually safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. The Wellman team has years of training, expertise and experience in helping patients get pain relief for back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other related conditions originating from the spine. Chiropractic care under a trained professional can even be used to prevent injuries, recover from existing injuries and help you achieve total health or wellness.

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.  With 75% of your treatment done at home, this limits the amount of time you have to spend in your doctor’s office with more effective results while having complete access to our team. 
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? Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another? Our partners at Wellman Family Healthcare can provide each patient with a structured nutritional program that is based on their individual needs. If you are searching for Weight Loss or a better lifestyle, there is something for everyone.

Knee Decompression

In-office knee decompression treatments are designed to increase joint space and slow the degeneration process. The newest research in technology offers safe and effective knee decompression. Our state-of-the-art equipment offers benefits for those suffering from chronic knee pain due to osteoarthritis, previous injury, failed surgery, and more. Studies show that mechanical traction is more effective at decreasing pain and improving quality of life than ultrasound and exercise combined. 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. 

Fitness Counseling

A true Wellness Center, our partners at Wellman Family Healthcare and BodyworX studio cater to our veterans, first responders, and students offering personal training, small group classes, and yoga.  Whether you are a student-athlete, trying to meet your physical assessment requirements for duty, a weekend warrior, or a retiree wanting to remain mobile our state-of-the-art facility has something to meet your fitness level and goals.
