Ft. Lauderdale Chiropractor Focuses on Natural
Healing to Achieve Wellness Care

Ft. Lauderdale chiropractor Dr. Richard Henry provides more than a decade of experience serving the families and athletes of our community. At our office, we believe that wellness starts with a healthy lifestyle and regular preventive chiropractic care. That is why Dr. Henry treats patients of all ages, including children, because we know that proper alignment of the spine's vertebrae and discs will promote good posture, prevent injury and even help prevent certain illnesses and disease.

Although Dr. Henry believes that everyone can benefit from routine chiropractic care, many of his patients visit our office suffering from back pain, neck pain, stiff joints, soreness, numbness, and recurring headaches and migraines. X-rays and physical consultations often reveal that these symptoms are the result of an injury to the spine or neck.

Car accident injury patients, for example, may complain of whiplash, which is a compression of the vertebrae in the upper spine that can lead to chronic neck pain. Although whiplash is the most common car accident injury, problems can occur throughout the musculoskeletal system following an accident. Left untreated, they may lead to joint mobility issues, decreased or heightened nerve sensitivity, chronic pain, the build-up of scar tissue and many other complications. 

Our Ft. Lauderdale chiropractor helps car accident injury and sports injury patients by using traditional manual adjustments, as well as techniques such as ProAdjuster and laser therapy, to relieve back pain and neck pain. Results typically appear after just a few treatments, at which time patients may begin to feel less back and neck pain. With each adjustment, the discs and vertebrae in the spine become better aligned, which can in turn relieve pressure on the nerves. 

Our philosophy is to take a natural approach to wellness and healing, which is why we offer more than just standard chiropractic care to patients who are suffering from neck and back pain. Our office often uses physical therapy to help sports injury and car accident injury patients recover from lost mobility and muscle stiffness following an accident. Physical therapy exercises, in addition to nutritional counseling, are part of treatment and can be taught for at-home use between visits.

Patients who need help with pain management may benefit from massage therapy or acupuncture. Both acupuncture and massage therapy can help relieve muscle tightness and tension, which may contribute to headaches and migraines. Not only do patients begin to feel less pain and symptoms with regular massage, but relaxed muscles also help make chiropractic treatment sessions more effective than without pain management therapy.
