Services & Techniques

At At The Beach Chiropractic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our Ocean Isle Beach office.

Chiropractic Care

We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Pamela Owens has years of training and experience in spinal adjustment.

Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used techniques used in the world today.  Acupuncture needles are metallic, solid, and hair-thin.  People experience acupuncture differently, but most feel no or minimal pain as the needles are inserted.  Some people are energized by the treatment.  While others feel relaxed. Acupuncture is a principle, not a technique.  Therefore, there are many ways to stimulate an Acupoint other than a needle for example electrical acupuncture and laser acupuncture.  Dr. Pamela Owens is certified to use many difference techniques. 

Nutritional Assessment

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Dr. Pamela Owens can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.

Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA)

MUA is a non-invasive, highly-specialized technique performed by Dr. Pamela Owens. After medical clearance, the patient is sedated to achieve a state of relaxation.  This state of relaxation allows Dr. Pamela Owens to complete a series of adjustments and stretching movements without patient apprehension or muscle congestion.  The results for properly selected patients are phenomenal.  So, if you have not found relief through conservative treatments, or if you may be facing surgery.  MUA could be an effective alternative.  Studies prove that MUA eliminates or greatly reduces pain.  It also restores or greatly improves range of motion.  Compared to surgery and other procedures, the return-to-work and return-to activity rates for MUA patients are significantly faster and longer lasting.  You can get more information from ww.muatoday.com
