We pride ourselves on our relationships with other local (and some not so local) healthcare providers. If we can help you, the doctor will let you know. If the doctor cannot help you, you will be referred to a health care provider that will be able to help you the most. Your care is our primary concern. As always nothing will be done in our office without your consent. If necessary, the doctor may refer you out of the office for x-rays or other additional testing procedures such as an MRI. Once all the information and examinations have been performed, the doctor will explain the findings and give you recommendations/options for treatment

Most of our patients begin to see results from the very first adjustment. Our treatment of your condition is interactive with the patient, gentle enough for kids, yet able to restore function and movement for the athlete and senior. In addition to traditional types of chiropractic adjustments our doctors also utilize flexion-distraction technique. Flexion-distraction is applied for cases of sciatica, disc herniations, facet syndrome and chronic low back pain. Flexion-distraction is, for the most part, pain free and usually devoid of the loud popping and snapping heard with most traditional adjustments. Also offered for our pregnant patients is a technique known as the Webster Technique. This technique helps the ligaments of the pelvis to relax and, therefore, allows the baby to position himself/herself for delivery naturally. We also offer many low force techniques for the elderly as well as children

Other treatment options include hot-moist packs, cold packs, and braces including sacroiliac belts. Topical analgesics, including a patient favorite, BioFreeze, and our new product, Cryoderm, are also offered and are available for sale. Our doctors may also direct or prescribe massage therapy for you. Massage therapy is an accepted part of many chiropractic care programs. Massage therapy has shown to be beneficial for many conditions, including back pain, arthritis, bursitis, fatigue, and depression. And, as many millions of people will attest, massage also helps to relieve the stress and tension of everyday living that can lead to disease and illness

Our office participates in many insurance programs including, but not limited to, BCBS, Medicare and UPHP. We also accept auto accident and worker�s compensation cases. For patients who have little or no chiropractic insurance coverage, a cash discount program is available. If none of these programs meet your needs, flexible payment programs can be arranged for you

We are here to serve you. If you need to contact our office, you may do so at 906-265-9000, or by email at info@northwoodsfamilychiropractic.com.
