West End Wellness adds chiropractic services
PORTSMOUTH — West End Wellness at 27 Albany St., in Portsmouth, New Hampshire is now offering chiropractic treatments in addition to nutritional counseling. The practice is now a full service provider of alternative treatment therapies for a wide range of health conditions.
Dr. Michael Blackman has been a licensed chiropractor for more than 25 years; he is also board certified in sports chiropractic and has treated athletes at the elite level, working with Olympians and college teams.
“What nutritional therapy is for the inside, chiropractic is for the outside,” says Blackman. “Chiropractic restores the mobility of the spine and joints. If the spine and joints are healthy, then the body’s systems function better. Much of your health and wellness come from a properly functioning spine and muscle groups.”
Dr. Blackman uses chiropractic treatment to address a number of health issues, including low-back pain, disk issues, whiplash, shoulder, knees and feet problems, arthritis, and headaches, as well as problems with sleep and stress. “We also successfully treat migraine sufferers and pregnant women who often have back issues,” he says. “With pregnancy, your center of gravity is shifted, which can result in back displacement. Chiropractic has also been effective with some bladder issues, which can be caused by back problems.”
People looking for new ways to improve their health may also turn to West End Wellness for nutrition counseling. Dr. Blackman offers customized diet and supplement programs designed to target individual patient needs. He sees patients of all ages and backgrounds, with many patients seeking help for fatigue, weight gain, inflammation, depression/anxiety, insomnia, hormone issues, immune support, skin conditions, digestive problems and other concerns.
Dr. Blackman begins with a detailed personal consultation, a physical exam and several diagnostic tests. After getting the needed information, and talking with patients about their concerns and goals, he creates a customized plan. Over the next several weeks and months, he meets regularly with patients to assess their progress and personalize their program needs.
“West End Wellness offers natural treatments that are science-based,” explains Dr. Blackman. “If you are suffering from chronic health issues, please come see us. We may have the answers you seek.”
