Whiplash Treatment

Whiplash is a term that describes an injury to the neck that occurs as a result of a motor vehicle or car accident. The most common type of car accident is the rear impact, and most typically, the occupant in the vehicle that gets “rear-ended” is at the greatest risk of injury, including whiplash. To treat whiplash at Morgan Chiropractic, Dr. Loren Morgan may suggest spinal manipulation therapy that involves gently moving the involved joint into the direction in which it’s restricted. Chiropractic care can help you cope with whiplash because it can help return proper mechanics to the cervical spine (your neck). During a consultation, Dr.  Loren Morgan will evaluate your spine as a whole – even if you go to the office complaining of neck pain following a trauma.

After the examination, Dr. Loren Morgan will be better able to diagnose your condition accurately, helping to create a tre

Shoulder Pain and Injury

Chiropractic care is typically sought out by people seeking relief from neck or back pain. The staff of Morgan Chiropractic is also skilled in treating extremities like the knees, elbows, and the shoulders. The shoulder joint is the body’s most mobile joint.

At Morgan Chiropractic we are happy to welcome first-time chiropractic patients.  New chiropractic patients often arrive frustrated, having tried other treatment methods and not found relief from their pain or discomfort.  Chiropractic takes a systemic approach to care, meaning the whole body and the body’s ability to heal itself are considered in every case. This is why your initial consultation and assessment with a chiropractor is especially important.  We will work to understand your goals for treatment, and take a very detailed record of your current condition using a physical exam and sometimes x-rays.  From there, we can form a treatment plan to target any issues and improve overall health. What surprises most new patients is that chiropractic does not incorporate drugs as part of treatment.  Chiropractic focuses on treating the root cause of any pain, rather than masking symptoms with medication.  Whether you are in serious pain or looking to restore your body’s natural balance
