Subluxations of the spine are often direct contributors to weight gain. Nerves throughout the spinal column connect the brain to the rest of the human body. When there are misalignments along these pathways, communication is compromised and signals, such as those that control hunger and eating cues, can be affected. Having misalignments leads to chronic pain or decreased range of motion as a result, making the upkeep of a physically active lifestyle far more difficult.
We also offer massage therapy, which can help increase muscle relaxation and recovery but can also stimulate body metabolism to help you lose weight. Chiropractic adjustments and other modalities can effectively relieve these problems, providing a much easier path for weight loss and overall health.
Proper nutrition is the key to successful, long-term weight loss. Dr. Whitmire will help analyze each patient’s eating habits and will provide suggestions to help alleviate any number of other medical concerns. For most chiropractic physicians, imparting healthier lifestyle habits to their patients is a service equally as important as adjustments. By making personal recommendations for exercise and diet based on a patient’s individual needs, comfort levels and healing time; the overall health can be boosted with weight loss being a typical result.

I can’t begin to say how great everyone is at Whitmire! I am very glad my sister’s friend recommended them to me as I was struggling to walk and it had been a long ongoing process with many doctors. After a month there I am able to move around and getting my strength back to hopefully start running again soon.
I’ve had physical therapy many times in the past, and visited chiropractors and massage therapists, but the fact that this place combines all three into one location and appointment system is brilliant. The chiropractor himself is very gentle and understanding about my fibromyalgia, which not all chiropractors really understand.
