Titleist Golf Chiropractor

Dr. Chris Kessler D.C.
Dr. Chris Kessler, doctor of chiropractic in The Villages, FL.

Dr. Chris Kessler is a Titleist Performance Institute certified doctor and The Villages Golf Team’s go to chiropractor.

Dr Chris has been helping patients in the Villages area for years and many of them have come to him for help improving their game. Through a variety of techniques, Dr. Chris has been able to help golfers relieve pain, correct posture and improve their swings. Aside from being certified through Titleist, he is also an avid golfer.

Titleist Cerified

Some patients need work on their foundations. Not their golf foundations, but their body’s foundations. Our feet are more important than most people realize and the tiniest shifts can make a world of difference. Dr. Chris is certified through the Foot Levelers company to get you custom fit orthotics which can restore balance to your whole frame. These orthotics are different than the ones you find in stores because they are specific to your feet. They also take in to account all 3 arches in your feet to ensure the best support.

Another way Dr. Chris is able to help his patients is through chiropractic care. By adjusting and maintaining a healthy spine, patients often have less pain in general and can swing through more thoroughly. The pain relief alone is worth coming in, but imagine being able to fully swing the club where you couldn’t before. How many yards would that add to your drive?

In addition, Dr. Chris teaches his patients proper posture and swing techniques to keep them enjoying the game they love. Swinging the club without proper posture may not hurt the first time, but repetitive stress on the spine and other joints can lead to very painful degeneration.

If you want to improve your game, come and see the Titleist Golf Chiropractor in The Villages. Call Legacy Clinic today to schedule an appointment and see what Dr. Chris can do for you.

Decompression For The Spine in The Villages

Legacy Clinic The Villages
Legacy Clinic of Chiropractic | Acupuncture | Massage

Looking for decompression for the spine in The Villages?

Many people are unfamiliar with what exactly decompression for the spine in The Villages is. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression uses a specialized table that gently pulls the two vertebrae on either side of the affected disc. This allows bulging material to be drawn from the nerve and back into the disc, allowing it to heal naturally over time. Advanced technology creates a gentle, pain-free treatment that avoids the muscle spasm or guarding reflex that is commonly triggered with traditional rudimentary traction or inversion devices.

Spinal decompression

Is decompression painful?

Most patients find spinal decompression to be very relaxing and it’s not uncommon to fall asleep during the procedure. The gentle pulling and releasing motion can be very soothing and having the pressure relieved from your nerves can put you into a very relaxed state. Although results can vary, many of our patients report a reduction in pain after the first few sessions. Typically, there is a significant improvement by the second or third week of treatment.

Is decompression effective?

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is a breakthrough, FDA cleared procedure that takes the pressure off bulging, herniated, or degenerative discs, allowing them to rehydrate and heal. This often relieves pinching on the nerves and reduces pain. The best part is that decompression helps to heal the injured areas, rather than just managing (or masking) the pain.
The treatment is non-invasive, pain-free, and drug-free. There are no needles or anesthesia and it can be completed in just a few weeks. It is considered a viable and reliable alternative to surgery in many cases. Thousands of patients are treated every day using this procedure.

What is it good for?

Bulging or herniated discs may begin to pinch the delicate spinal nerves, causing sciatica, stenosis, or radiculopathy. This can result in debilitating back or neck pain, as well as numbness, or weakness. Many desperate patients turn to prescription pain pills, invasive spinal injections, and even back or neck surgery, trying to find relief.
“In many cases, those traditional treatments fail because they do not address the cause of the problem, and instead focus on covering up the pain,” states Dr. Theeck. “This can leave patients frustrated and without hope, as they face the possibility of endless medications, injections, and surgeries.”

Back pain in The Villages

Spinal Care

Many people suffer from back pain of one degree to another.

10’s of BILLIONS of dollars are spent each year managing pain relief and back care, but until recently, little focus has been spent on chiropractic care. With a strong push to progressively keep ourselves healthy through diet and exercise, chiropractic adjustments have gained notice for their therapeutic benefits. Spinal manipulation has been shown to decrease pain and stress levels among many other things. It has also been shown to increase blood flow, improve joint mobility and boost your immune system naturally to name just a few of the myriad of benefits.

The question is; why do we keep spending hard earned money to siomply manage the pain? Why not treat the underlying cause and get RID of the pain? Because chiropractic care is still relatively new to the general public, some might see it as unproven. Others think it will require too much work on their part.

Chiropractic care is and has been a proven method for treating pain and has been around for much longer than people realize. Dr. Palmer gave the first chiropractic adjustment in 1895!

Treating your body well IS part of being well. Sometimes medicines are what we need, other times they simply mask what’s really going on. If you think treating your body right is too much trouble, think about this:

The doctors at Legacy Clinic want you to be your best self and live your best life, offering a variety of treatment options from chiropractic adjustments to weight loss to acupuncture and massage. Whatever your health needs, you can almost certainly find them at Legacy!

Spinal Surgery in The Villages, FL side effects

Spinal Care

Spinal Surgery In The Villages, FL

Before you commit to a major operation that is irreversible, why not let the doctors at Legacy Clinic take a look at your condition and see if they can help you? Spinal surgery has it’s place and time, but often there are alternative and more effective ways of treating back or neck pain. The doctors at Legacy Clinic have had many patients who have come to them after hearing from the surgeon that the ONLY way to fix their problem was to go under the knife. After a few weeks with the doctors, they were pain free and able to enjoy their lives again. All that with no scarring, no heavy narcotics and no huge screws in their spines.

Even cosmetic or “routine” surgeries come with risks, but spinal surgeries carry extra risks due to the fact that your spinal cord helps to control most of the functions our bodies perform. It is possible to do more damage than was already done. Some of the possible risks include: Infection, blood clots, dural tears, leakage of cerebrospinal fluid, facial sores, loss of vision, nerve injury, paralysis and death. While not all of these are common complications with spinal surgery they are definitely worth considering. To get a more in depth look at the risks involved, follow this link – Lumbar Decompression Surgery Risks

If you’re thinking of having spinal surgery in The Villages or surrounding areas and you want to get a second opinion, this is the best place to start. With a free consultation, you have nothing to lose!

Spinal decompression in The Villages Florida

Spinal decompression

Preventing Spinal Degeneration: The Role of Spinal Decompression

Our spines are meant to have a curve in the neck and a curve in the low back. These curves distribute our weight evenly and protect the discs in between the vertebrae. Over the course of time, our spines can begin to straighten. This puts all the weight directly on our discs and can lead to arthritis, stenosis, facet syndrome, hernias and pain.

 

So how do we prevent spinal degeneration or keep it from getting worse. Step one will always be to consult a chiropractor. Through an exam, they can determine the best route for you. One suggestion they may have is spinal decompression. This process is typically painless and generally feels good. As a patient, you can expect to have the decompression therapist explain the process to you before they start, but let’s give you a brief description here too.

 

For your lower back; you will lie down on a table and a belt will be tightened around your hips. This belt will be connected to a machine which will begin pulling backwards until it reaches a preset amount of pull. Once there, it will remain at that weight for a certain length of time (different practices and machines may vary the time) and then it will release. This process is repeated for about ten minutes. During this time, it will feel as though someone has grabbed your hips and pulled down. This gently stretches out the lower spine taking pressure off the discs and relieving symptoms.  Over time, through decompression, adjustments and proper care at home, you can regain the natural curvature lost and heal the discs.

For your neck; the process is the same, though you will be set up differently on the table. Often, a device closes in on each side of the neck and begins the stretch there.

Many patients just starting out have a preconceived notion that treatment will hurt. This whole process is designed to cause relief from pain and discomfort. Spinal decompression is a great tool when used along with manual adjustments. Many patients see amazing results, and many patients no longer have a need for their walkers or canes.
