Great chiropractic care

"When I came to Dr. Wheelock, I had been through months of physical therapy and was still in pain. I was reluctant and anxious to see a chiropractor but Dr. Wheelock put me at ease and helped me solve aches and pains (sciatica) I've had for literally years!"

 

Chiropractor that does deep tissue therapy‎‎
 

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 By Bryan - May 19, 2010

I didn't know what deep tissue therapy was! Dr Andrew massaged and stretched my sore neck the first visit. (I guess that's deep tissue therapy?). No surprise "snaps" of my neck. Anyway the pain was almost gone when I left. Next visit he talked me through adjusting my neck and back. I was a little nervous, but he is very slow and gentle with the process. He doesn't do anything without explaining it and asking permission before he does anything. No hurrying me. The recent injury, (skiing), is gone and the 20 yr ongoing pain is getting better. Wheelock Chiropractic is the best!‎

I have been going to Chiropractors since I was 19 years old...I used to see a Dr. in Millbury and liked him a lot. After he retired, I tried a few others but never felt any real benefits. Then I found Dr. Wheelock...WOW what a difference, my appointments used to take 5-10 minutes with the other doctors, I generally was in the waiting room longer than in with the DR! With Dr. Wheelock, it's not like that. The time he spends and the treatment you get is far above and beyond any other chiropractic treatment I've ever received. He really listens to me and makes adjustments according to what's going on with my body...I love him-I will never go any where else for chiropractic treatment again! Dr. Wheelock's customer service and passion for his work is unmatched!‎

Treatments Offered in Our Worcester Office

The best and fastest results are usually acheived through a combination of chiropractic and muscle treatment modalities which address the interaction between the spine and joints and the muscles and nerves which affect, and are affected by, these joints.

• Chiropractic Adjustment
• Soft Tissue Therapy
• Therapeutic Exercise
  

Chiropractic Adjustments

The word adjustment describes hundreds of ways of using carefully directed and controlled pressure to restore joints to a more normal position and motion. Chiropractic adjustments are not limited to the correction of spinal joints -- nearly all of the body’s joints can be adjusted using tried and true Chiropractic methods. It improves joint flexibility and restores strength to areas weakened by misalignment. It also alleviates the strain on surrounding muscles that are overworked by trying to pull a stiff or misaligned joint back into its proper place.

Soft Tissue Therapy

Muscles play a vital role in both stabilizing and moving the joints of the body. This is why muscle problems are nearly always involved with joint dysfunction. The most common form of muscle dysfunction is a muscle spasm, which is the body’s response to protect an injured area from further harm. Many soft tissue techniques have been developed over the centuries to combat this problem – several of which are used extensively by Dr. Wheelock.

Therapeutic Exercise 

Weak, underused muscles are the primary cause of musculoskeletal injury.  Research has taught us that when managing acute or chronic muscle dysfunction, the best outcomes are achieved by intergrating therapeutic exercise.  Dr. Wheelock teaches his patients simple, yet effective exercises  that will help speed their recovery time and help prevent future injuries.
