Sawmill Chiropractic Centre
Chiropractic Services
Chiropractors recognize that many factors affect your health, including exercise, nutrition, sleep, environment and heredity. Chiropractic focuses on maintaining your health naturally rather than simply treating the symptoms of disease.
We offer a broad range of services that focus on treating the patient without the use of drugs, invasive healthcare procedures, or surgery.
Chiropractic Adjustments
A gentle controlled pressure is applied to your spine to restore the proper alignment and motion of your spine. It helps improve your posture, muscle balance and mobility, which is necessary for your nervous system to function properly. When one or more of the bones in your spine (vertebrae) move out of alignment it creates pressure on, or irritate spinal nerves causing pain. Patients often experience immediate relief after an adjustment is made.
Radiology (X-Rays)
We provide radiology services, both taking and interpreting x-ray exams when necessary, for our patients. The doctor will perform your exam personally.
Physical Therapy
Doctors of Chiropractic are certified to perform physical therapy procedures in their offices. The doctors at Sawmill Chiropractic Centre use a variety of therapies to assist patients with their individual needs.
Graston Therapy
Graston Technique® is a form of manual therapy that can be best described as an “instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization” technique. It is designed to treat soft tissue conditions, where it enables clinicians to effectively break down fascial restrictions and scar tissue. Graston utilizes a set of stainless-steel instruments to scan, detect, and treat areas of the body that exhibit adhesions, fibrosis, and inflammation.
After these “adhesions” are broken up, the body can naturally absorb them which allows the body to properly heal itself, decreasing pain and restoring function. As a certified Graston technique® provider, Dr. Ohl uses this technique to better help his patients recover from new and old injuries and get them back to living life to the fullest.
