Chiropractors can play an important role in the diagnosis, support and recovery of concussions, as well as co-managing a patient with other health care providers. Dr. Peggy Howard is the chiropractor at Jade Wellness and she is accepting new patients, with or without a referral, for an initial consultation. At the initial consultation, a full hour will be dedicated to a health history, a physical exam, the report of findings, a treatment plan discussion and treatment, if indicated. The physical exam includes: a posture and gait analysis, range of motion testing, neurological testing (including reflexes, motor testing, sensation changes and special tests such as cranial nerves, cerebellar testing etc.), motion and static palpation and a variety of orthopedic testing. This investigation can help to uncover changes within the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, especially as it relates to the spine. The nature of treatment is individual to a patients’ needs and their speed of recovery. Dr. Peggy uses a variety of techniques that can focus on: soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, skin, fascia etc.), joints (mobilizations, spinal manipulation therapy etc.), education, rehabilitation and exercise advice. Dr. Peggy has additional continuing education in concussion management. Please reach out with questions to peggy@jadewellness.co
