At Burkholder Chiropractic Clinic you will be treated like family. Our staff will greet you with a smile and know you by name. You will always feel welcome!  We treat musculoskeletal conditions like back pain, headaches, migraines, disc problems, sciatic pain, pinched nerves, foot pain, and more.  Below is a sampling of our services.

Chiropractic Care:
Musculoskeletal conditions like back pain, headaches, and disc problems have something in common.  They typically involve both an injured spinal joint and problems in the muscles surrounding that joint.  Research has shown that chiropractic is the most effective treatment for correcting spinal joint problems and the pain and nerve irritation that often accompanies it.  Dr. Burkholder is an expert in several different chiropractic treatment techniques ranging from hands-on to gentle instrument techniques allowing him to provide excellent treatments tailored to the patient's individual needs

Therapeutic Massage
Massage is for more than temporary relaxation.  Dr. Burkholder recommends deep tissue massage to relieve the muscle tightness and spasms than often accompany injured spinal joints.  Combining therapeutic massage with chiropractic enhances the benefits of each treatment providing longer lasting results.   We offer focused massage sessions as a part of overall treatment plans as well as 60, 90, and 120 minute full-body massage.


Corrective Exercises:
We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be strained or develop strength and tension imbalances due to improper alignment and use. Our physcial rehabilitation programs retrain muscles and connective tissue, balancing their strength and tone, reducing stress on joints, and providing longer lasting results.


Lifestyle Advice:
We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patients' return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you?

  Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine
  One of the world's oldest and most respected healing arts, acupuncture and chinese medicine are based on the theory that the vital controlling energy of the body flows through it by following special pathways called meridians.  Health problems occur when the energy flow becomes blocked or disrupted.  The body is able to heal itself only when these blockages are removed and normal energy flow is restored.  This is accomplished through the use of herbs or by manipulation of the energy through acupuncture needles.  Conditions ranging from arthritis pain to internal disorders like irritable bowel syndrome and a host of others may be effectively treated through this safe ancient technique.  Perhaps more surprising than the range of conditions effected by these techniques is the fact that the treatment causes very little discomfort.  It is actually quite comfortable and relaxing.
