Spinal and Extremity Correction

Chiropractic is beneficial for a variety of conditions. The word "chiropractic" means "to do by hand," and Dr. Leavitt uses a variety of manual techniques to treat the spine and extremities. These include trigger point therapy, myofascial release, therapeutic in-office exercises, Cox flexion distraction for disk herniations, drop table technique, instrument-assisted adjusting (Activator) and traditional chiropractic adjustments.


Activities of Daily Living Advice

Doctor in Latin means "to teach." This is a role we take very seriously. Dr. Leavitt teaches his patients how to perform certain activities, including recreational and occupational activities, in a way that promotes their progress and avoids aggravating their specific problem. We have found that the teamwork approach allows patients to achieve optimum results.


Rehabilitation

Patients are taught specific stretches and exercises to help rehabilitate the muscles, ligaments and tendons and stabilize the physical issue. Most exercises can be performed at home, at a gym/sports club, or at work. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by unequal muscle tone and improper use. We have found through clinical experience that when supportive structures such as muscles, ligaments and tendons are stronger, the patient sees better outcomes.


Auto Accidents

If you have been involved in a car accident, whiplash injuries need to be taken very seriously. Because symptoms of a whiplash injury can take weeks or months to manifest, it is easy to be fooled into thinking that you are not as injured as you really are.

Too often people don't seek treatment following a car accident because they don't feel hurt. By far, the most common injury to the neck is a whiplash injury.Whiplash is caused by a sudden movement of the head, either backward, forward, or sideways, that results in the damage to the supporting muscles, ligaments and other connective tissues in the neck and upper back.

Unfortunately, by the time more serious complications develop, some of the damage from the injury may have become permanent.  Numerous studies have shown that years after whiplash victims settle their insurance claims, roughly half of them state that they still suffer with symptoms from their injuries. If you have been in a motor vehicle or any other kind of accident, don't assume that you escaped injury if you are not currently in pain.

Physical Therapeutics

Sometimes the soft tissues (muscles, ligaments and tendons) aggravate the patient's condition by way of tightened muscles (such as spasms) and inflammation. We offer the following therapeutic procedures to address these issues:

  • Interferential electrical stimulation
  • Pre-modulated electrical stimulation
  • Mechanical traction
  • Hot and cold packs

Custom-Fit Orthotics, Braces and Pillows

Sometimes additional therapies are needed to achieve the desired outcome. We can provide custom-fit orthotics and support braces as well as pillows, therapeutic gels and other items that help certain patients. 


Chiropractic Care

We provide advanced spinal correction and chiropractic adjustments utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic care have chiropractors been able to provide the level of help and expertise that is available today. Many of the newest chiropractic techniques are actually safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a chiropractor who cares about utilizing the most advanced chiropractic techniques, Dr. Craig Leavitt has years of training, expertise and experience in helping patients get pain relief for back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other related conditions originating from the spine. Chiropractic care under a trained professional can even be used to prevent injuries and help you achieve total health or wellness.


Corrective Exercises

At Coastal Chiropractic Center, 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.


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, and as part of that goal we provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices. Nutritional counseling by our experienced chiropractic health professionals can assist a patient on their return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another? At our Little Silver chiropractic clinic, we can provide each patient with a structured nutritional program that is based on their individual needs.


Massage Therapy

Massage therapy does more than make you feel good, it can actually help your body achieve balance and health. Massage therapy offers a natural  treatment approach which actually relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. Our chiropractic office provides specific massage and muscular therapy that is complimentary to their chiropractic care. Each massage therapy plan is tailored to meet the patient's unique pain condition or injury. The benefits of massage therapy may include the increase of blood circulation, a localized reduction in swelling and the relaxation of muscles. Massage has been known to relieve muscle pain and spasms, increase a patient's range of motion, while also aiding in a patient's recovery. Some investigative studies have even indicated that a single session of massage may help boost your immune system!


Spinal & Postural Screenings

There is a saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Your spinal health is no exception. Posture and spinal screenings by a trained and experienced chiropractor such as Dr. Craig Leavitt can help reveal important health information, unlocking the door to improved health and well-being. In order to help the Little Silver community, we provide screenings at area malls, community events, health fairs and places of employment. Contact us today at (732) 530-1525 to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.
