Spine & Muscle Work 

Dr. Marci Fish offers the following chiropractic services for patients at Sunshine Wellness & Chiropractic:

• Chiropractic Adjustment: A specific force applied to the spine to restore proper motion and allow optimal function to the nervous system. This helps with: back pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel, numbness/tingling, headaches/migraine, sinus infection, ear infection, vertigo, digestive problems, arthritis, aches & pains, colic in babies, and much more. Chiropractic Techniques include: Diversified, Thompson, Activator, Adjustor, Sacro-Occipital Technique (S.O.T.), and Pediatric and Pregnancy adjusting.

• Myofascial Release: A muscle release technique performed to relax tight muscles, increase circulation, and help decrease pain. The tools used for myofascial release not only provide patient relaxation and pain relief, but also give a more complete response to the Chiropractic adjustment. The work also helps patients respond quicker to care and the adjustments hold longer with the myofascial work. 

• Flexion/Distraction Technique: Flexion/distraction is an added technique that allows for spinal stretching. This aids in pain relief, decreasing disc pressure, scoliosis help, and overall stretching of the spine. This non-invasive technique can be added to the adjustment, especially for those suffering with disc issues, low back pain, compression, and tightness in the back.

Chiropractic for Kids

Why Should I have my Child Checked?

Chiropractic adjustments help your body function properly, enhance your immune system and help you feel better. That's why your child should have his or her spine regularly checked by a chiropractor.

Newborns should be checked for spinal misalignment after being born. A baby experiences stress while in utero (inside the womb), during the natural birth process, and even from a cesarean birth.  Chiropractic care has been shown to help infants with colic, infant acid reflux, ear infection, and bowel problems.  

Childhood is a critical time to make sure the spine has no misalignments, allowing the nervous system to function at its best. Children are active and can have many falls, bike accidents, or sports injuries during their formative years.  Give them a head start in healthy living and make sure they have a healthy spine with chiropractic care.  

Dr. Marci Fish takes care of many newborns and children. She uses light pressure to find your child's spinal misalignment and then delivers a gentle adjustment to that area. Infants and children also respond to and enjoy the gentle and relaxing muscle work she does.

"I find that children respond very well to having chiropractic adjustments.  They love coming to the office to play and get adjusted. They know it will help them feel better and best of all, no shots!".  - Dr. Marci Fish
