Our Philosophy: Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation for Superior Results • We have combined chiropractic care with physical therapy, massage therapy, rehabilitation therapy, and exercise science to provide you with one of the most comprehensive conservative treatment approaches available. In addition, in those circumstances where our treatments are not effective, we have developed a great relationship with several orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons so that we are able to get you to the proper specialist in a timely manner. • Our treatments go far beyond heat applications and ice packs. At Elswick Chiropractic, we start with a comprehensive diagnostic exam and consultation to determine the source of your pain. Then we create an individualized treatment plan designed to help you achieve lasting pain relief as well as lifelong health.
Chiropractic Adjustment/Manipulation • Adjustments, or manipulation as they're sometimes referred to is the minor movement of vertebrae in the spine. The objective of this movement is to realign vertebrae that have moved out of place for a number of reasons ranging from normal daily activity to trauma such as a car accident.
Spinal Rehabilitation Program • One of the principles that guides care at Elswick Chiropractic & Associates, PSC is the idea of a strong core. It is our belief that a strong muscular system, particularly the core muscles of the spine, aid in stabilizing the spinal structures. At Elswick Chiropractic we utilize the talents of a physical therapist and three exercise physiologists to develop and implement a customized core spinal strengthening program.

X-Ray • At Elswick Chiropractic & Associates, PSC we have a fully equipped x-ray facility on site. X-rays of the spine are used to rule out the possible presence of pathology. Next, the x-ray is used to study the shape and position of each bone in the area of concern. This approach allows the treating doctor to use the x-ray as a blueprint of the spine. This approach affords the treating doctor the ability to study the form and function of the area in question. With this information, the treating doctor is then able to suggest the most appropriate treatment options for the prospective patient's specific condition.
Rehabilitation Therapeutic Services • Often referred to as "muscle stim," the therapy involves low levels of electrical impulses delivered to the injured, painful tissues to reduce pain and speed healing. Often described by patients as a pleasant, "tingling" sensation, or "electrical massage," these impulses stimulate the body to release natural pain relievers, called endorphins. These endorphins reduce pain and inflammation, thereby promoting faster healing of the injured tissues.
