Just as there are various causes and types of pain, Seminole Chiropractic Wellness Center offers various treatments to help alleviate pain and achieve optimum health. One of the techniques our St. Petersburg chiropractor offers is acupressure, a healing system similar to acupuncture for its ability to open blocked energy, enhance circulation of body fluids and alleviate pain. Instead of needles, however, physical pressure is administered by hand or special instrument to key points along the body, points on the meridian system that correspond to areas where pain and other symptoms are present.

Pressure Often Used in Conjunction with Massage Therapy, Chiropractic Techniques

Administering pressure to key points for healing and pain relief is often used in conjunction with other techniques as part of an overall pain management or wellness program. Massage therapy works to alleviate stress, enhance circulation and bring relief to the affected area and is an extremely effective part of a pain relief program using pressure.

Often the treatment needs to begin deeper than the surface, depending on the cause of the pain. If the pain stems from a misalignment, subluxation or other issue with the spine, chiropractic techniques can be essential for healing. A graduate of the Palmer College of Chiropractic, our chiropractor Dr. Randal Butch frequently uses the Palmer technique to restore the spine to its natural alignment, regain full function, and correct the cause of the pain.

Dr. Butch has more than 25 years experience helping the St. Petersburg community, with individualized treatment plans that are as unique as each individual problem. Even if pain is not the issue, our techniques and services can help you achieve or maintain optimum health with methods that are all-natural, non-invasive and consistently successful.
