When most people think of chiropractic care, they think of only lower back pain or neck pain. However, that is not the case. It all starts with the spine. When you take care of your spine, you take care of your nervous system, which controls every aspect of your health throughout your body. At our Blacklick chiropractic office, we offer a variety of services to treat your underlying and chronic issues. Relief and a life with much more ease is possible! We can’t wait to show you!

Life is too short to spend it in pain and we have all the tools to make sure you find relief.

Chiropractic care stands out as a clinically proven and patient-focused method for addressing low back pain and sciatica. Sciatic pain, often rooted in issues related to spinal function, finds relief through chiropractic adjustments. These adjustments are designed to optimize spinal health and alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve. Our chiropractors take a comprehensive approach that goes beyond symptom management, tackling the underlying factors contributing to sciatica. No more band-aid solutions that lead to the issue returning! Through targeted adjustments, chiropractic care aims to improve overall spinal health. Its non-invasive and patient-centered approach makes chiropractic care an appealing option for individuals seeking a tailored and effective solution to manage and prevent sciatic and low back discomfort.

Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to aid in managing anxiety. The spine and nervous system are intricately connected, and anxiety is born out of nervous system dysregulation. Chiropractors keep that line of communication open by performing gentle adjustments. Adjustments relieve stress on your nerves by correcting misalignments and reestablishing proper movement of your spine. Once your nervous system is able to communicate, and your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems balance out, your body is able to return to and maintain a state of rest.

When your nervous system is bombarded with stress, it goes into overdrive trying to manage it all and nerve signals can't be sent or received appropriately. This can cause your body to overreact to harmless invaders like pollen and dust and react insufficiently to viruses and invaders.

Adjustments introduce movement in your spine and correct misalignments, relieving stress on your nerves, and eliminating interferences that were starving your brain of information. Once the connection between your brain and body is restored, your immune system's function is restored, too!

Your body redirects energy to help you heal, regenerate, and recover while you sleep. A common cause of sleepless nights is an overactive fight or flight response. Fight or flight is activated when stress (thoughts/traumas/toxins) builds up and your body perceives danger. Adjustments regulate cortisol production (your body's stress hormone), activate the rest & digest portion of your nervous system, and unlock specific sleep hormones required for a good night's sleep!

Dr. Michael of Westerville, Ohio didn’t always know he wanted to be a chiropractor- maybe a chef, or a small business owner. Like so many others, it took a life altering event for him to realize where his purpose lied. Unfamiliar with the extent of Chiropractic’s potential, he’d never considered a career in it, until his dad, a Columbus police officer, was injured on the job. He herniated four discs in his neck and 9-year-old Michael watched as he was carted along the traditional route, one medication after another and physical therapy that helped but didn’t stop his doctors from concluding that he would still have to have surgery.

It wasn’t until his dad was finally placed under the care of a Chiropractor that he was reintroduced to something that all other avenues lacked- hope. He heard for the first time that he didn’t have to have surgery, he didn’t have to stop doing what he loved, he didn’t have to give up hope, because now he had a tool to help him heal on his own- Chiropractic.

It was then that the light clicked on for Dr. Michael and all uncertainty dissipated. His purpose was using his hands to help people heal, and this was what he was always meant to do. As a Chiropractor, Dr. Michael holds a B.S. in Psychology from Denison University and completed his education with a Masters in Sports Science and Rehabilitation, a Doctorate in Chiropractic, along with Diplomates in Applied Kinesiology, Systems Healthcare, and Acupuncture from Logan University. He also pursued additional coursework in pediatric chiropractic and pregnancy care. He has a passion for helping children and expectant moms, which stems from a desire to instill the same hope and healing mentality in his community that his dad experienced at 40-- from day one, through life-giving chiropractic care.
