Our Services
Here at Heiss Chiropractic, we have many different services to fit your specific needs. Whether you are experiencing back pain, feeling out of alignment, or just want to get healthier, we can help.
Corrective Exercises
Corrective exercises can help make any pain that you are experiencing go away and stay away. These exercises will strengthen and correct the irregularities of your body which may be causing your pain. Most of these exercises are able to be performed in the comfort of your own home. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles or connective tissues that are out of place can also cause pain.
Wellness Care
There are so many things you can do to become healthier. Many people think that becoming healthier means salads for every meal and exercising daily. We recommend that you start slow. What is one thing that you are doing every day that you could switch out for something healthier? Could you stop drinking that can of soda for dinner and instead grab a water bottle? Becoming healthier is all about making small changes.
Chiropractic Adjustments
A chiropractic adjustment can make you feel so much better. Your body does not want to be out of alignment, and that’s exactly what an adjustment can help address. It is also known as chiropractic manipulation, manual manipulation, or spinal manipulation. The adjustment refers to the manipulation of the vertebrae that have abnormal movements and are not functioning properly. A chiropractic adjustment will assist in fixing these issues.
Back Pain
Chronic back pain is one of the biggest problems Americans face today. Back pain actually affects eight out of ten people at some point in their lives. Even though back pain is common, it is not all the same. Many different conditions can cause back pain and cause different areas of the back to hurt. These include sprained ligaments, strained muscles, trigger points, arthritis, ruptured disks, inflamed joints, sport injuries, and many more.
Auto Accidents
An auto accident can cause many different issues. Often an accident can throw your neck, your spine, or even your entire body out of alignment. Our trained professionals are able to work with you to find the exact cause of each of your issues and help you through exercises as well as regular chiropractic care so that you begin to feel like yourself again.
Understanding Spinal Disc Health: A Visual Representation
At Dr. Heiss Chiropractic, we prioritize educating our patients about spinal health and the role it plays in overall wellness. The image above is a creative visual representation of spinal vertebrae and the varying conditions of intervertebral discs — the soft cushions between each bone (vertebra) in your spine.
Each segment shown illustrates different stages or conditions of spinal disc health:
Healthy Disc (Leftmost Segment)
The disc is plump, well-hydrated, and evenly spaced — providing proper shock absorption and flexibility.
Mild Disc Degeneration
Early wear and tear leads to a slight thinning of the disc, which may cause minor discomfort or stiffness.
Moderate to Severe Degeneration
The disc shows further loss of height and hydration. This can lead to inflammation, pain, and limited mobility.
Bulging or Herniated Disc
As the disc deteriorates, its inner material may push outward, compressing nerves and causing symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or radiating pain.
Collapsed or Severely Damaged Disc (Rightmost Segment)
The disc has lost almost all its structure, potentially leading to chronic pain and significant loss of spinal function.
