What to Expect at Your Chiropractic Visit
Personalized Assessment: Posture, movement, gait analysis, and symptom patterns are evaluated.
Dr. Lea Kelley starts by taking your history, and then performs a physical examination, to include the assessment of spinal and musculoskeletal joint function.
The chiropractic examination focuses on evaluation of joint pain or tenderness, asymmetry, changes in range of joint motion, muscle tone and strength, posture and spinal or other joint stability.
Lab tests or imaging such as MRI, CT scan or X-ray may be indicated.
As part of this process, Dr. Lea Kelley will explain the clinical findings, recommend a treatment plan and review the risks and benefits of all procedures.
Through a process of shared decision-making, you and Dr. Lea Kelley will determine if it is appropriate to proceed with a short trial of chiropractic services. If the examination findings indicate that other adjunct therapies are indicated, Dr. Lea Kelley will explain them.
Based on the clinical indications, timing or severity of your condition, chiropractic interventions may require a series of visits in order to relieve pain and improve joint function.You may also receive advice on home care, lifestyle modifications, exercise instruction and nutritional recommendations.
Targeted Chiropractic Adjustment: Gentle, precise adjustments to restore alignment. Traction therapy can also be done to stretch between each vertebrae.
The chiropractic adjustment or manipulation is a manual procedure applying a force, sometimes mild, sometimes firm, directed to
one or more dysfunctional hypomobile joint segments, and is a procedure that requires highly refined skills developed during
Dr. Lea Kelley’s intensive years of chiropractic education.
3. Integrated Support (if needed): Acupuncture or additional therapies like BEMER Therapy, FSM, Scalar or Cupping can be done.
4. Ongoing Plan: Recommendations based on your goals and progress.

-
Yes, Dr. Lea Kelley can use Chiropractic techniques which are especially suited for herniated discs;
Flexion-Distraction Technique
This type of spinal adjustment aims to reduce the pressure on your discs. It involves using a specialized table, which makes it easier for your chiropractor to stretch your spine. They will lightly apply force onto the affected area with a pumping rhythm.
Flexion-distraction is a gentle and pain-free procedure, making it a great option for patients who suffer from severe pain. It can move the herniated disc away from the affected nerve, alleviating your symptoms.
Pelvic Blocking Treatments
This method utilizes cushioned wedges specifically crafted for chiropractic use. During the procedure, your chiropractor will put these wedges under both sides of your pelvis, hence the name pelvic blocking. By doing this, they naturally draw away your herniated disc from the affected nerve.
Apart from helping with herniated discs, pelvic blocking can also help with other conditions, such as headaches and other bodily pain.
-
Yes, Chiropractic care helps with chronic back pain by using manual spinal adjustments and manipulation to improve joint mobility, realign the spine, and reduce nerve pressure. These treatments decrease inflammation, alleviate muscle spasms, and enhance mobility, often addressing root causes of pain without drugs or surgery.
How it helps:
Spinal Manipulation (Adjustments): Chiropractors apply controlled, sudden force to joints to improve range of motion and physical function.
Reduced Nerve Compression: By correcting spinal alignment, adjustments relieve pressure on nerves that can cause chronic discomfort.
Reduced Inflammation and Muscle Spasms: Techniques help increase blood flow and reduce muscle tension. Some adjustments stimulate nervous system reflexes that turn off muscle spasms.
Improved Mobility: Treatments target "fixated" or stiff joints, essentially acting like lubricating a "rusty hinge" to restore normal motion.
