ADDICTION AND ACUPUNCTURE 

ACUPUNCTURE

You may be a good candidate for acupuncture if you are interested in a holistic healing alternative to pain medication and drugs. Acupuncture can help manage a patient’s pain and reduce or even eliminate the need for medication or surgery. Acupuncture is also beneficial for reducing the risk for health problems, such as minimizing the recurrence of headaches or migraine pain.

Auricular Therapy - Stop Smoking

More people in the United States are addicted to nicotine than to any other drug. Research suggests that nicotine may be as addictive as heroin, cocaine, or alcohol. Quitting smoking is hard and may require several attempts. People who stop smoking often start again because of withdrawal symptoms, stress, and weight gain.  Nicotine withdrawal symptoms may include:

• Feeling irritable, angry, or anxious
• Having trouble thinking
• Craving tobacco products
• Feeling hungrier than usual

We use several methods of Auricular Therapy to help you STOP smoking. Using the ancient art of acupuncture, we can use a staple which causes a constant stimulation to specific acupuncture points in the ear. This is safe, natural, holistic approach to smoking cessation.

• Over an 85% success rate
• Decreases addiction to Nicotine
• Decreases cravings
• Helps with withdrawal symptoms
• Some people have experienced changes in the taste of the cigarettes

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. Ron Edmiston 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.

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.

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 body, 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 Shiloh chiropractic clinic, we can provide each patient with a structured nutritional program that is 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 which actually relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. Our chiropractic office provides specific massage and muscular therapy that is complimentary 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 the increase of blood circulation, a 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. Some investigative studies have even indicated that a single session of massage may help boost your immune system!

Spinal & Postural Screenings

There is a saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Your spinal health is no exception. Posture and spinal screenings by a trained and experienced chiropractor such as Dr. Ron Edmiston can help reveal important health information, unlocking the door to improved health and well-being. In order to help the Shiloh community, we provide screenings at area malls, community events, health fairs and places of employment. Contact us today at 618-624-8080 to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.
