Total health through dynamic chiropractic care.
At Brown Chiropractic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic care to each and every patient. We have included information below about some of the different chiropractic services offered in our Oelwein office, but please call us at (319) 283-1621 if you have any questions!
Chiropractic Care
We provide advanced spinal correction and chiropractic adjustments utilizing "state of the art" Activator Method Chiropractic Technique and advanced digital x-ray technology when required. Never in the history of chiropractic care have chiropractors been able to provide the level of help and expertise that is available today. Activator Method is a gentle, low-force approach to chiropractic care that has been used safely and effectively on patients of all ages since the 1960's, bringing relief to people with a variety of health concerns. Incorporating research-based analysis and specific protocols to detect spinal joint dysfunction, analyze leg length inequality, identify issues with body mechanics, and test neurological reflexes, Dr. Bradley Brown can initiate the process of restoring spinal balance in the patient effectively and gently utilizing the Activator Adjusting Instrument.
Patients of all types and ages can enjoy the benefit of an Activator adjustment. Older patients, or those with arthritis, osteoporosis or other bone-weakening conditions find the Activator Method effective and gentle. The technique is especially helpful for those patients who have suffered an injury, developed a chronic condition, or for children who have trouble laying still, as the adjustment is quick and comfortable.
Though most people understand that chiropractic spinal adjustments can relieve neck and back pain, chiropractic care has far-reaching benefits. A wide variety of health problems can stem from spinal imbalance and dysfunction of the nervous system. Everyday living, stress and old injuries can cause vertebrae to lose their proper position and motion. This dysfunction can irritate your nervous system, causing pain and nerve interference throughout the body. By restoring spinal balance, chiropractic care aids the body in healing itself.
As a chiropractor who cares about utilizing the most advanced chiropractic techniques, Dr. Bradley Brown has 37 years of training and successful experience helping patients gain relief from back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other related conditions originating from the spine, as well as preventative care for people of all ages to foster a robust state of health.. We welcome the opportunity to help you, or your loved one, too!
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a 5000 year old Chinese system of natural healing which is concerned with restoring the proper energy flow to the various organs, glands, and tissues of the body, on the premise that most diseases are the result of malfunction due to disrupted energetics. This disruption can occur in either or both of two locations: 1) in the channels of energy flow, which are called meridians, located throughout the body just beneath the skin surface; 2) in the spinal column where vertebrae may be misaligned thereby irritating or compressing vital nerve trunks. Other causes of disease can include hereditary factors, poisons, adverse environmental conditions, injury, germs, malnutrition, etc. Acupuncture can be performed by over 30 methods of stimulation, some of which are long and short needle, teishin (practically painless non-piercing needle), electrical, fingertip pressure (shishin, or finger needle), metallic balls taped to points, or moxibustion (burning herbs over the point). Acupuncture points can be stimulated on the ear (Auriculotherapy), on the hand (Koryo - Korean Hand Acupuncture), or on the body (on the back, front, or extremities).
Corrective Exercises
At Brown Chiropractic, we teach our patients how to perform special "blueprint" exercises which can help strengthen and correct the irregularities in their body which may be causing pain. Many of these corrective exercises can actually be performed in the comfort of your own home to help improve the effectiveness of your chiropractic care and spinal correction plan. In addition to skeletal misalignment, you may be experiencing pain that is caused by muscles and connective tissues which are out of their proper place. Other types of pain such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches are caused by muscles and tissues that are being used improperly, causing injuries over time. In each case, targeted corrective exercises and stretches from our experienced chiropractor will help you feel good while also helping your body achieve balance and health.
Lifestyle Advice
Many of our patients come to see our chiropractor to address a specific pain symptom such as back pain, neck pain or headaches. While our chiropractor will address each patient's specific condition with chiropractic care, we often find it helpful to "coach" our patients towards achieving a healthier lifestyle. For example, there may be certain activities that you should avoid or do differently to prevent yourself from unintentionally aggravating your particular health challenges. The goal of including lifestyle advice with a chiropractic care plan is to help each and every patient achieve the fulfilling and happy lifestyle they deserve, one that is full of the activities that are enjoyed most. We recognize that every single one of our patients is a whole person, and we use our expertise to help them reach total health and wellness with simple, yet significant changes to posture and activity that can improve health for a lifetime.
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 body by correcting and maintaining a healthy nervous system. As part of that goal, we provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements, protocols, and healthy food choices that will provide your body with the raw materials needed for normal function. It is often said that we "are what we eat," and on every level this adage holds true. Our bodies are much like automobiles, and when we put bad gasoline into our cars, it causes the car to not work properly and can lead to engine damage. Everything you consume must be treated and filtered by your body, and as such it can become polluted and lead to malfunction. Beyond serving as a source of fuel, food provides the literal building blocks for your body to undergo biochemical reactions, create action potentials for nervous stimulation, and build and repair all of your tissues. Research tells us that many of today's epidemic diseases, including diabetes, arthritis, cancer and heart disease, can be caused by poor food choices that pollute the body with toxins while starving it of essential nutrients. Dr. Brown will help you gain control of your dietary decisions and supercharge your health with high quality, all natural Standard Process nutritional supplement protocols specifically engineered to suit your needs, whether it be to support a healthy pregnancy, or recover, maintain, and increase your health, you can be assured that the advice and products you receive are of the highest quality, all natural, and perfectly suited to your health goals.
