At Amelia Island Health & Wellness we strive to provide the finest quality chiropractic care to each and every patient. Our multi-pronged approach looks beyond symptoms to understand root causes that can lead to chronic pain, headaches, low energy, sleeplessness and a host of other problems. By combining gentle chiropractic adjustments, functional nutrition, and soft tissue therapies, we create personalized plans that support the body’s own natural ability to heal, beginning at the cellular level. Our care is designed specifically for you so you can move better, feel stronger, and live with lasting vitality.
We have included information below about the different chiropractic, functional nutrition and other services we offer in our Clinic, but please call us at 904-310-6437 if you have any questions.
- Activator Methods is one of the most widely-researched chiropractic techniques and the only instrument adjusting technique with clinical trials to support its efficacy. Activator Methods has published hundreds of clinical and scientific peer-reviewed papers, worked with major academic research institutions, and received grants from recognized entities like the National Institutes of Health.
- Functional Nutrition – The human body has an incredible capacity to naturally heal itself when supplied with the particular fuel for which it was designed. Through Functional Nutrition, we utilize in-depth consultation, specialized questionnaires and functional exams to uncover and remedy nutritional deficits as well as environmental toxins that may be hindering the body’s ability to naturally heal and function. We will recommend a personalized regimen of whole-food–based, top quality dietary supplements and detoxification programs available through our office to address energy levels, stress reactions, sleep patterns, digestion, and inflammation, leading to better focus, more vitality, and long-term wellness.
- Graston Technique – For patients struggling with muscle tightness, chronic pain, scar tissue, or old injuries, an advanced soft tissue approach can make all the difference. Graston Technique uses specialized stainless-steel instruments to gently comb through the soft tissues to break down fascial restrictions that limit motion or create pain. This modern iteration of the original Gua Sha from Ancient Asia, has been highly successful in reducing pain and improving quality of life where many other methods have failed. Graston Technique interrupts the old chronic pattern of dysfunction in the myofascial layers initiating accelerated healing in muscles, tendons, and ligaments for a wide range of conditions such as: sports injuries, tendonitis, post-injury scar tissue, repetitive-strain problems, and stubborn muscle tightness. By tailoring treatment to each patient, Graston therapy helps restore mobility, ease pain, and support faster recovery so you can return to the activities you enjoy.
- Applied Kinesiology & Quantum Neurology – These advanced systems evaluate the body through manual muscle testing and nervous system response patterns. Applied Kinesiology and Quantum Neurology help identify areas of weakness, nerve stress, or poor communication between the brain and body. Treatment may include gentle muscle activation, neurological reflex work, and corrective exercises designed to “reboot” the body’s natural healing circuitry and improve coordination, strength, and performance.
- Flexion / Distraction Technique – A specialized, gentle form of spinal decompression performed on a segmented table that rhythmically flexes and distracts the spine. This technique is particularly effective for disc injuries, sciatica, and lower-back pain caused by nerve compression. By creating motion and reducing internal disc pressure, Flexion / Distraction improves circulation to spinal tissues and helps restore normal movement and alignment without invasive procedures.
- Passive Modality Therapies – Supportive modalities such as ice, heat, and electrical stimulation are used to reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and promote soft tissue healing. These therapies can help muscles relax, improve circulation, and speed recovery between visits. When combines with chiropractic and rehabilitative care, they enhance comfort and accelerate the healing process.
- Home exercises – Patients receive simple, targeted exercises and movement strategies to perform at home between visits. These routines are designed to support spinal alignment, improve posture, strengthen weak muscle groups, and maintain healing progression.
- Posture Analysis of the spinal column and associated muscles as well as gait, to create simple, individualized exercises that improve how you sit, stand, and walk.
We provide advanced spinal correction and chiropractic adjustments utilizing “state of the art” chiropractic techniques. Many of the newest techniques are actually safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a chiropractor who cares about using the most advanced techniques, Dr. Brown has many years of training and more than 28 years of experience in helping patients get relief from back pain, neck pain, headaches and related conditions originating from abnormal spinal alignment and/or spinal stiffness. Chiropractic care under a trained professional can even be used to prevent injures and help you achieve optimal health and wellness. At Amelia Island Health & Wellness we teach our patients to perform posture strengthening exercises to improve flexibility, alignment and balance which can correct regularities in their body that may be causing their pain. Many of these exercise are designed to be performed in the comfort of your own home to help improve the effectiveness of your chiropractic care. In addition to skeletal misalignment, you may be experiencing pain that is caused by muscles and connective tissue that are out of their proper place. Other types of pain such as headaches, neck and shoulder pain, hip and leg pain may be caused by muscles and soft tissues that are being used improperly and could result in injuries over time. In each case targeted exercises and stretches from our experienced chiropractor will help you feel better, have improved function so you can move, feel and be well. - Lifestyle Advice – Many of our patients come to see a chiropractor to address specific symptoms such as back pain, neck pain or headaches. While we address each patient’s specific condition, we often find it helpful to “coach” our patient towards achieving a healthier lifestyle. For example there may be certain activities that you should avoid or do differently to prevent yourself from unintentionally aggravating your condition. The goal of including lifestyle advice with a chiropractic care plan is to help each and every patient achieve the most fulfilling and happiest lifestyle they desire, including activities that are most enjoyed. We recognize that every one of our patients are unique human beings and we use our expertise to help them achieve optimal health and wellbeing.
