Chiropractic Care Built Around You
There isn't one chiropractic treatment plan that's right for everyone.
A person who develops neck pain after spending hours at a computer may have very different needs from someone recovering from an auto accident, experiencing sciatica, or trying to stay active as they get older.
That's why care at Balanced Body Chiropractic begins with understanding you.
Dr. Hagner considers your symptoms, health history, daily activities and goals along with his examination findings. From there, he can determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate and recommend an individualized approach.
Throughout your care, your progress can be evaluated and recommendations adjusted based on how you're responding.
What Is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care focuses primarily on the musculoskeletal system—the joints, muscles and other structures that allow your body to move.
When joints aren't moving comfortably or muscles and surrounding tissues become irritated, everyday activities can become difficult. Sitting at work, turning your head while driving, bending over, exercising or even sleeping may become uncomfortable.
Chiropractors use hands-on techniques and other conservative approaches to address certain musculoskeletal problems and help improve function.
At Balanced Body Chiropractic, treatment recommendations are based on your individual examination rather than automatically providing the same adjustment to every patient.

Your First Visit at Balanced Body Chiropractic
If you've never visited a chiropractor, knowing what to expect can make the first appointment much more comfortable.
Your visit begins with a conversation.
Dr. Hagner will want to understand your current concerns, how long you've experienced them, previous injuries or treatments, relevant health history and what you hope to accomplish.
An examination can then help him better understand your condition. Depending upon your symptoms, this may involve evaluating areas such as movement, posture, joint function and other relevant findings.
After the evaluation, Dr. Hagner can discuss what he found and whether chiropractic treatment is appropriate.
Most importantly, you should understand the recommended plan and have an opportunity to ask questions before moving forward.

What Other Professionals Say About Chiropractic Care
Conditions Chiropractic Care May Help
People visit chiropractors for many different musculoskeletal concerns. Some of the conditions commonly evaluated in chiropractic practices include:
Back Pain
Back pain can develop from muscle strain, joint problems, prolonged sitting, repetitive activities, injuries and other causes. Determining what's contributing to your symptoms is an important first step toward choosing appropriate care.
Neck Pain
Poor posture, prolonged computer use, injuries, joint restrictions and muscle tension can all contribute to neck discomfort.
Sciatica
Sciatica commonly describes pain, tingling, numbness or other symptoms traveling along the path of the sciatic nerve, often into the buttock or leg. Because several conditions can produce similar symptoms, an appropriate evaluation is important.
Headaches
Some headaches originate from or are influenced by structures in the neck. These are different from many other types of headaches, which is why determining the likely source matters.
Auto Accident Injuries
Whiplash and other musculoskeletal injuries can occur during automobile collisions, sometimes even when vehicle damage appears relatively minor.
Sports and Activity-Related Injuries
Pain or restricted movement can interfere with exercise, recreational activities and athletic performance. Evaluation can help determine what's contributing to the problem and whether chiropractic care is appropriate.
We Look Beyond Where It Hurts
Where you feel pain doesn't always tell the entire story.
For example, discomfort in one area may be influenced by restricted movement, muscle tension, repetitive activities or movement patterns elsewhere in the body.
That's one reason Dr. Hagner doesn't want to know only “Where does it hurt?”
He also wants to understand questions such as:
-
When did it start?
-
What makes it better or worse?
-
Has there been an injury?
-
What activities are difficult now?
-
What does your work require physically?
-
What would you like to be able to do again?
That information helps put your symptoms into context and allows treatment recommendations to focus on your individual situation.
What Your Chiropractic Treatment Plan May Include
Your treatment plan depends upon your examination findings and individual needs.
When appropriate, recommendations may incorporate chiropractic adjustments along with strategies intended to improve mobility, function and the way you manage your condition between visits.
Depending on the services Dr. Hagner actually provides, this section could include:
Chiropractic Adjustments
Hands-on care intended to address joint mobility and function.
Soft-Tissue Techniques
When appropriate, treatment may address muscles and other soft tissues associated with discomfort or restricted movement.
Stretching and Mobility Recommendations
Specific movements may be recommended to help maintain mobility and support your treatment goals.
Posture and Ergonomic Guidance
Workstations, prolonged sitting and repetitive positions can contribute to musculoskeletal symptoms. Small changes in daily habits can sometimes make a meaningful difference.
Home-Care Recommendations
Dr. Hagner may recommend steps you can take outside the office to support your progress.
