Surgery is Not the Only Option,
Learn the Benefits of Spinal Decompression

Back surgery is sometimes the only option to correct a problem, but there are many cases where non-surgical spinal decompression can provide relief and correct the problem. Wellness First Center has long been serving the Midlothian and Chesterfield communities, offering decompression as a beneficial, all-natural and non-invasive way to correct herniated discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, pinched nerves, and other disc damage that causes pain in the neck and back.

Decompression Offers All-Natural Relief
from Back Pain and Neck Pain

The all-natural and non-invasive aspects rank at the top of the list of decompression benefits. Patients remain fully clothed on a decompression table with a pelvic harness attached at the hips. Our chiropractor then uses a high-tech computer that gently and subtly decompresses the spine through a series of minute adjustments. Decompression may take more than one session to fully repair a spinal issue, but patients do not need to undergo lengthy recovery times after each session. You can return home right after the procedure and resume normal activities that very day. Relief from back pain and neck pain is often evident after only a few sessions.

Because decompression does not involve any incisions, there is neither risk of bleeding or infection nor are anesthesia and pain medications necessary. In fact, our procedure is often comfortable enough that some patients fall asleep during it. The decompression technique used by our Midlothian chiropractor also differs from decompression from a traditional chiropractor due to the high-tech nature of our computer system. We use the award-winning Triton system which gently cycles through relaxation and distraction phases in increments that are precise enough to eliminate muscle guarding.

One more benefit is our decompression therapy can be part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes other types of chiropractic therapy. Our chiropractor can use more than one all-natural and non-invasive technique to help alleviate pain and correct spinal issues. To find out more, call our visit our center today.

At Wellness First Center We Treat Whiplash

At Wellness First Center we are proud to be your Midlothian chiropractic resource for auto accident injury treatments and for whiplash injury assistance. Our chiropractors, Dr. Kelly Donnelly and Dr. Robert Donnelly, are here to provide you with pain relief in the form of traditional chiropractic care. We always tell our patients that it does not have to hurt to get well, and we will show you how effectively our hands on chiropractic treatments can help with the physical problems associated with whiplash.

Neck Pain, Back Pain, and Whiplash Treatments

When the neck is thrown sharply forward or back during an auto accident, a sports injury, or some other type of impact, you may develop the symptoms of whiplash. Whiplash is a soft tissue injury -- which means that it does not cause broken bones but rather impacts the muscles, ligaments and tendons -- and it can be very painful. Our Midlothian staff is experienced in helping patients rehabilitate from whiplash injuries and is here to help you through your recovery.

Your whiplash symptoms may vary, as each patient's situation is unique. However, common whiplash pain issues include pain in the back, neck pain, feelings of dizziness, and headache. Traditional chiropractic treatment is targeted at resolving the pain exactly where it occurs. Our chiropractors use gentle hands on manipulation techniques to help the neck and back areas return to the proper alignment (the way that they were prior to the accident). Once the neck and spine are properly situated again, all those tensed up and painful muscles surrounding the neck and back will be able to relax and much of your pain will begin to dissipate.

We are very pleased to help patients recover from car accidents and other types of injury.
