Chiropractic Care

We provide advanced spinal correction and chiropractic adjustments utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic care have chiropractors been able to provide the level of help and expertise that is available today. Many of the newest chiropractic techniques are actually safer, more comfortable, and more effective than ever before. As a chiropractor who cares about utilizing the most advanced chiropractic techniques, Dr. Joshua LeBlanc has years of training, expertise, and experience in helping patients get pain relief for back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other related conditions originating from the spine. Chiropractic care under a trained professional can even be used to prevent injuries and help you achieve total health or wellness. This form of health care can restore normal function to your body and improve your quality of life.

Corrective Exercises

At Alpha Spine and Wellness, we teach our patients how to perform special "blueprint" exercises, including therapeutic exercises, which can help strengthen and correct the irregularities in their bodies that may be causing pain. Many of these corrective exercises can actually be performed in the comfort of your own home to help improve the effectiveness of your chiropractic care and spinal correction plan. In addition to skeletal misalignment, you may be experiencing pain caused by muscles and connective tissues >span class="diff-chunk_chunk__MRDHe undefined"> are out of their proper place, leading to muscular tightness. Other types of pain, such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches, are caused by muscles and tissues that are being used improperly, causing injuries over time. In each case, targeted corrective exercises and stretches from our experienced chiropractor will help you feel good while also helping your body achieve balance and health, leading to freedom from pain.


DME

Our goal is to get people back to their personal 100% level of health. Sometimes this requires that the patient use home devices and therapies to get better quicker. Durable medical equipment is any device (TENS units, braces, crutches, etc...) that you need to maximize your recovery, and it is administered to you to use indefinitely. This has added benefits because you now have more tools in your possession to fight off future injuries as well. Incorporating these tools into your treatment plan can aid in the healing process.

Lifestyle Advice

Many of our patients come to see our chiropractor to address a specific pain symptom such as back pain, neck pain, or headaches. While our chiropractor will address each patient's specific condition with chiropractic care, we often find it helpful to "coach" our patients towards achieving a healthier lifestyle. For example, there may be certain activities that you should avoid or do differently to prevent yourself from unintentionally aggravating your particular health challenges. The goal of including lifestyle advice with a chiropractic care plan is to help each and every patient achieve the fulfilling and happy lifestyle they deserve, one that is full of the activities that are enjoyed most. We recognize that every single one of our patients is a whole person, and we use our expertise to help them reach total health and wellness, setting and achieving specific health goals.

Nutritional Counseling

What does nutrition have to do with chiropractic care? The goal of chiropractic care is to help patients achieve total health and balance with their bodies, and as part of that goal, we provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices. Nutritional counseling by our experienced chiropractic health professionals can assist a patient on their return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another? At our Slidell, LA chiropractic clinic, we can provide each patient with a structured nutritional program based on their individual needs.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy does more than make you feel good; it can actually help your body achieve balance and health. Massage therapy offers a natural treatment approach >span class="diff-chunk_chunk__MRDHe undefined"> actually relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. Our chiropractic office provides specific massage and muscular therapy that is complementary to their chiropractic care. Each massage therapy plan is tailored to meet the patient's unique pain condition or injury. The benefits of massage therapy may include increased blood circulation, localized reduction in swelling, and the relaxation of muscles. Massage has been known to relieve muscle pain and spasms, increase a patient's range of motion, while also aiding in a patient's recovery from chronic health issues. Some investigative studies have even indicated that a single session of massage may help boost your immune system!
