Asheville, NC Chiropractor, Dr. Tom Whittington, Puts A New Twist On Chiropractic Care

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Albertson, New York, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) February 20, 2012 -- Asheville, NC, 21-FEB-2012 - Dr. Tom Whittington, Asheville chiropractor, has been recognized for his success in putting a new twist on chiropractic care by utilizing a holistic approach that gives patients greater overall health and wellness. The doctor has focused his practice on designing programs that include both traditional chiropractic techniques and methods and alternative therapies that enhance and increase the safe, natural healing of the body.

When interviewed recently Dr. Whittington shared, "My goal is to help patients achieve the greatest quality of life possible through an approach to care that addresses the needs and care of the "whole" body. Many people do not realize that many painful conditions are the result of several contributing factors and that unless all of those factors are addressed, the pain will return. Through a comprehensive plan of care and education, my patients are able to gain control over the contributing factors and triggers that may be causing or exacerbating pain."

During the initial consultation Dr. Whittington, Asheville chiropractor, discusses triggers for the pain or condition as well as the medical history of the patient. The doctor also conducts a physical examination to determine the areas of the body that have been affected by the injury or damage. Additionally, he takes x-rays and conducts mobility and flexibility tests to ascertain the level of restriction in pain-free movement of the patient. The doctor discusses diet, lifestyle, and normal activities with the patient and identifies deficiencies that may be contributing to the condition or pain.

The doctor uses gentle, low-force manipulation to realign discs and relieve pressure from pinched nerves. He will often include the use of therapies such as deep tissue massage and cryotherapy to relieve swelling and inflammation, increase oxygen to damaged tissues and cells, and improve circulation throughout the body. The doctor will also recommend exercises designed to strengthen the muscle groups supporting the areas that have been injured or damaged.

Education programs are provided to give patients the tools they need to become more empowered to address triggers effectively. When stress or tension are contributing factors to the pain, the doctor offers stress management training that contains the steps to effectively address and alleviate stressors.
