Jacksonville Chiropractor

What types of chiropractic services do you offer at San Jose Chiropractic in Jacksonville?

At San Jose Chiropractic in the Mandarin area of Jacksonville, we offer short term chiropractic care, wellness chiropractic care, upper cervical Orthospinology, Thompson chiropractic, and auto accident injury treatment.

 

Each service is customized to the individual so we can help with both recent injuries and long standing chronic conditions. Our goal is to provide precise, gentle care that helps patients from Jacksonville, San Jose, and Mandarin feel better and function better as quickly as possible.

​

What is the difference between short term chiropractic care and wellness chiropractic care?

Short term chiropractic care focuses on helping you get out of pain and moving better when you are dealing with a recent injury or a flare up of an existing problem. Wellness chiropractic care is for people who want to maintain their results, keep their spine and nervous system healthy, and prevent issues from returning.

 

Many patients in Jacksonville start with short term care to address headaches, neck pain, low back pain, or vertigo, then choose wellness care once they are feeling better to support long term spinal health and overall well being.

​

What is upper cervical Orthospinology and how is it different from traditional chiropractic?

Upper cervical Orthospinology is a very specific chiropractic approach that focuses on the top of the spine where the head and neck meet. This area, called the craniocervical junction, has a huge impact on the brainstem, balance, muscle tone, posture, and nervous system function. Instead of adjusting the entire spine with more force, upper cervical Orthospinology uses precise analysis and gentle corrections to realign the upper neck.

 

Many patients in Mandarin and Jacksonville who are sensitive to traditional chiropractic or have not found relief elsewhere do very well with this type of care.

​

Is your chiropractic care gentle enough for people who are nervous about being adjusted?

Yes. Dr. O uses gentle upper cervical adjustments and Thompson chiropractic techniques that are very comfortable for most patients. There is no twisting of the neck and no aggressive popping. Many of our patients were nervous to see a chiropractor at first, but they are surprised at how light and precise the adjustments feel.

 

This style of care is especially helpful for seniors, people with osteoporosis, patients who have had previous spinal surgery, and anyone in Jacksonville who prefers a lower force approach.

​

How does Thompson chiropractic fit into the care you provide?

Thompson chiropractic is a technique that uses a specialized table with drop pieces that assist the adjustment. This allows Dr. O to deliver a controlled, gentle correction with less force. Thompson chiropractic can be especially helpful for issues involving the pelvis, hips, and low back.

 

When combined with upper cervical Orthospinology, it allows us to address both the top and bottom of the spine in a way that supports better alignment, posture, and movement for our Jacksonville patients.

​

What common conditions and symptoms do you help at San Jose Chiropractic?

We see a wide range of conditions at our Mandarin Jacksonville chiropractic office. Some of the most common include headaches, neck pain, low back pain, migraines, vertigo, TMJ and jaw pain, ear infections, sinus issues, neuropathies, digestive issues, and fibromyalgia.

 

Many of these problems are related to how well the spine and nervous system are functioning. By improving alignment and reducing stress on the nervous system, the body often has a better ability to heal and regulate itself.

​

Can chiropractic care help with headaches and migraines?

Yes. Many of our patients come to us because they are tired of dealing with recurring headaches and migraines. Misalignment in the upper neck can irritate nerves, affect blood flow, and create muscle tension that contributes to headaches.

 

Through precise upper cervical and spinal adjustments, we work to relieve the underlying stress on the nervous system. Patients in Jacksonville often notice that their headaches become less frequent, less intense, or easier to manage once the spine is functioning better.

​

How can chiropractic help with vertigo and balance problems?

Vertigo and balance issues are often related to how the brainstem, inner ear, and upper cervical spine are working together. If the top of the neck is misaligned, it can interfere with normal signals that help the body know where it is in space.

 

Dr. O uses upper cervical Orthospinology to gently correct these misalignments, which may help reduce episodes of dizziness, spinning sensations, and unsteadiness. Many patients in Mandarin and the surrounding Jacksonville areas seek us out specifically for vertigo and related issues.

​

Do you treat TMJ and jaw pain at your Jacksonville chiropractic office?

Yes. TMJ problems and jaw pain can be connected to head and neck alignment, muscle tension, and stress on the nervous system. When the upper cervical spine is out of position, it can change the way the jaw moves and create strain in the surrounding muscles.

 

By improving the alignment of the neck and addressing structural imbalances, chiropractic care can often help reduce TMJ pain, clicking, and tightness. We frequently see patients from Mandarin and nearby neighborhoods who are searching for a conservative option for jaw pain.

​

Can chiropractic help with neuropathies or nerve related symptoms?

Neuropathies and nerve related symptoms, such as tingling, numbness, or burning sensations, can be related to irritation or compression of nerves along the spine. While every case is different, improving spinal alignment can reduce mechanical stress on the nervous system and improve overall function.

 

Our office often sees patients with neuropathies in the hands, arms, legs, or feet who are looking for a natural approach. During your exam, Dr. O will determine whether chiropractic care is a good fit for your specific situation.

​

Do you help patients with fibromyalgia, fatigue, or whole body pain?

Yes. Many patients with fibromyalgia or chronic, widespread pain feel like they have tried everything. Chiropractic care does not cure fibromyalgia, but improving spinal alignment and nervous system function can sometimes help reduce pain levels, improve sleep, and support better quality of life.

 

Our gentle upper cervical approach is often more comfortable for people who are very sensitive to touch or pressure. Patients from throughout Jacksonville choose San Jose Chiropractic because they want a caring, comprehensive approach to chronic pain.

​

Can chiropractic care support digestive issues and sinus problems?

The nervous system controls digestion, immune function, and how well the sinuses and Eustachian tubes drain. When the spine, especially the upper neck, is misaligned, it can affect these functions. Dr. O’s own history with chronic ear infections is a powerful example of how upper cervical care can help with drainage and recurring infections.

 

While chiropractic is not a treatment for specific diseases, many patients notice positive changes in digestion, sinus pressure, and immune resilience as their spine and nervous system begin to function better.

​

Do you offer chiropractic care for auto accident injuries in Jacksonville?

Yes. Auto accident injury treatment is one of the services we provide. Even low speed collisions can create whiplash type injuries that affect the neck, upper back, low back, and soft tissues. Symptoms may include pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and difficulty concentrating.

 

At San Jose Chiropractic, we perform a thorough exam to assess spinal alignment and nervous system function, then create a care plan to help you recover as fully as possible. Many patients in Mandarin and the greater Jacksonville area seek us out after an accident because of our gentle, precise approach.

​

Do I have to be in pain to benefit from chiropractic care?

You do not have to be in pain to benefit from chiropractic. While many people start care because of headaches, neck pain, low back pain, or vertigo, others in Jacksonville choose chiropractic as part of a proactive wellness lifestyle.

 

Once symptoms improve, ongoing care can help maintain better alignment, support nervous system health, and reduce the likelihood of future flare ups. Whether you are in a pain crisis or simply want to feel and function at a higher level, Dr. O will tailor your care to your goals.
