At Peak Wellness and Chiropractic we take a hands-on, modern approach for the treatment of pain by restoring proper biomechanics to the joints and soft tissue structures of the body.
We use a combination of spinal manipulation, manual therapy and at the end of the visit the patient will receive some type of ‘homework’ or rehab to make sure their care continues outside of the office. Dr. Megan believes that patient care is a team effort between both the practitioner and patient and she spends the time to help each patient understand the reasons behind their condition and understand how to prevent reoccurrence.
We are committed to providing professional, individualized care by addressing each patient’s unique structural, movement and lifestyle factors that have led them to where they are today. Manipulative therapy is commonly used for the treatment of joints that are experiencing decreased motion. It has been proven safe and reliable in many scientific studies.
Dr. Reed has extensive training and certifications that allows her to be able to develop and explain a chiropractic wellness plan that will give you maximum relief in the minimum amount of time.
