Chiropractic For The Whole Family

We are proud to offer specific and gentle chiropractic care for the whole family. Dr. Leslie has treated patients between the ages of just 4 days old, to those over 100 years old! Everyone can benefit from chiropractic care, especially when it’s specific to the needs of the patient. Dr. Leslie focused on upper cervical care from the start when in graduate school. She takes specific x-rays of the neck to determine the misalignment of the upper two vertebrae, atlas, and axis. The adjustment is specific to the patient’s misalignment. Adjustments to the entire spine are performed while in a neutral position and there is no twisting of the neck or back to accomplish the alignment. She practices several gentle and specific techniques which include Upper Cervical Specific, Activator Methods, Sacro-Occipital Technique, and Thompson Drop.

Symptoms To Watch For

Many types of different problems can be resolved to utilize these techniques. From the baby with colic or reflux to the toddler with constipation or the child with enuresis (bedwetting), the body responds to the adjustments positively and function improves. Most children and adolescents will be in need of care due to falls or injuries during sports. Normal wear and tear from carrying backpacks at school, poor posture while sitting at desks can cause misalignments in the neck and back. All too common in this generation of children and young adults are neck misalignments or pain which can radiate into the shoulders and upper back due to constant neck flexion from reading and spending hours on their devices.

These issues need to be addressed before long-lasting damage occurs in the spine. Adults suffer from pain and symptoms more often than children due to subluxations (misalignment in the spine, resulting in nerve interference). There is a cumulative effect of a lifetime of injuries, poor posture, and subluxations over time. The most common complaints in adults are neck and back pain, radiating pain into the arms and hands, legs, and feet. Stiffness with decreased range of motion in either the back or neck is a very common symptom of subluxation. Headaches, ear pain, jaw pain or popping (TMD), interrupted sleep, knee pain, foot pain, wrist pain, digestive problems/constipation, numbness/tingling, dizziness can all be symptoms of misalignment in one or more areas of the spine and have been helped with chiropractic care here.

Dr. Leslie's Journey

Dr. Leslie went into chiropractic after exploring other fields of health care. She had great results with her chiropractor here in Jacksonville and decided to pursue her education at the same school her doctor attended – Life University. Upon graduation, she was eager to move back to her hometown of Jacksonville and begin helping people feel better through chiropractic.

What is Chiropractic?

Simply put, chiropractic is a system of optimizing human performance and potential by restoring or enhancing the body’s function.

Your First Visit:

Assessment

We will review your health history & during our complementary consultation where we can begin to determine where your underlying problems may exist and tell you about our unique approach to addressing it. If you have additional imaging or reports, please bring them with you on this visit.

Orthopedic Examination

Joint fixation and muscular imbalances can be assessed through palpation and range of motion, bilateral weight distribution, muscle tests and gait analysis. Tests are done to analyze pain, swelling and instabilities that are present.

Neurological Interference

To assess neurological effects of misalignments, we use thermal infrared spinal scans, leg length analysis, reflexes, posture & gait evaluation.

Digital X-Rays

To assess integrity and analyze specifically the misalignment of the spinal segments, digital x-rays will be performed at your first visit.

Your Second Visit

Plan:

We review your x-ray findings with you. Our recommendation is determined by the complexity of your case. We want to treat your immediate needs, while continue care only as long as you need to begin holding the corrections. While your spine is holding normal alignment, your body is functioning at a state of healing and optimal function. Our goal is to get you there.

Treatment:

Precise analysis allows us to individually treat each patient, only what you need, where you need it.

Low force, painless techniques at Balance Chiropractic Center include Upper Cervical Specific, Activator Method, Sacro-Occipital Technique, Thompson Drop.

Minimally invasive. No twisting, cracking or popping of the neck making it ideal for patients who are concerned about the traditional chiropractic approach. Only gentle, specific, image guided care.

Rest on intersegmental traction tables after your adjustments helps to insure alignment for as long as possible.

Continued Care:

The length of treatment recommended is determined by several factors. Much like orthodontic care, chiropractic care involves repetition so the soft tissue (muscles and ligaments) surrounding the spine will undergo reconstruction. Muscle and ligament strengthening can then take place. This means your alignments hold longer and you feel better.

Periodic follow up care, or performance care, is needed-much like a retainer is used on your teeth. Without one, the teeth would shift out of alignment again. The same would happen in your spine.

Performance care, or wellness care, is intermittent treatment to address subluxations before they lead to dysfunction and the return of symptoms.

Hurt yourself and have an exacerbation of pain? Come back for a tune up. During continued care your body is ready to be restored to its normal alignment and should only take 1-2 visits to get you back to normal again.

We will offer personalized care unique to your needs which will allow your spine to stabilize over time, reducing practitioner dependency. We'll show you simple tools you can use at home on a regular basis that will speed healing, restore normal spinal curves and allowing your body to maintain healthy alignment for longer periods of time.

Our goal is to help you hold your corrections long term. When you maintain normal alignment, you enjoy full function and healing take place.
