SERVICES

O'Reilly Chiropractic Offers a Wide Variety of Services

We emphasize treatment of the entire body not just the individual parts. Consequently, we offer a wide variety of health services. Some of our more popular services are listed below. 

 

CHIROPRACTIC MANIPULATION / ADJUSTMENTS OF SPINAL AND EXTREMITY JOINTS

Dr. O'Reilly utilizes a variety of gentle and effective adjusting techniques when treating his patients. He studied under Dr. Ralph Filson, former Team Chiropractor for the St. Louis Cardinals Major League Baseball and St. Louis Rams National Football League Teams, Chairman of the American Chiropractic Association Adjusting Technique Council, Logan College of Chiropractic Professor and author. Dr. O'Reilly is an expert in the use of Diversified Adjusting which is the manual manipulation of spinal and extremity joints using the hands. Clinical experience has shown that this technique is the quickest means of returning misaligned joints to their normal positions, restoring normal joint motion, reducing muscle spasm, releasing pinched nerves, relieving pain and promoting healing and recovery. Dr. O'Reilly is also certified in the use of the Activator Adjusting Instrument. This is an extremely quick and precise adjusting instrument which gently "taps" joints into their normal position and restores normal joint movement. This technique is often used in the treatment of infants, small children, patients with osteoporosis, cancer, elderly patients, stroke patients and hypersensitive patients.

 

ACUPUNCTURE

Traditional Chinese acupuncture has been used for over 4,000 years in the East to successfully treat a broad range of health ailments. More and more patients are choosing this natural treatment method as it is not only effective but is relatively painless and unlike most medications has no serious side effects and will not cross-react with other medications. Dr. O'Reilly is a Certified Acupuncture Practitioner with over 28 years of clinical experience in this healing art. Some of the more common ailments we treat and manage with acupuncture in our clinic include headaches, neck pain, back pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, chronic sinus congestion, shoulder pain / rotator cuff injuries, hip pain, bursitis, knee pain, fibromyalgia, stress / anxiety and digestive disorders.


X-RAY / RADIOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION

X-Rays allow Dr. O'Reilly to see the exact underlying structural causes of each patient's condition and symptoms. They are needed to arrive at an accurate and complete diagnosis as well as to formulate an effective treatment plan. Radiography also helps rule out other potentially more serious health conditions which may be causing symptoms such as cancer, gallstones, kidney stones, aneurysms, birth defects, infections and fractures. In some cases, Dr. O'Reilly may arrange for more advance diagnostics such as MRI, CT, Ultrasound and Bone Scan examinations when clinically indicated.

 

PHYSIOTHERAPY

We use a variety of physiotherapies to facilitate progress and complement the primary treatment method of joint manipulation. They are generally designed to reduce pain, muscle spasm, inflammation and fibrotic scar tissue while increasing mobility and promoting quicker healing. Common modalities used in this office include massage, traction, electric muscle stimulation and ultrasound.

 

PHYSICAL REHABILITATION

During your recovery, Dr. O'Reilly will typically prescribe rehabilitative stretching and strengthening programs. Most programs will be performed in the patient's home. However, in some cases doctor assisted strengthening exercises will be performed in the office. These programs increase elasticity, flexibility and range of motion while strengthening muscles and ligaments which increases joint stability and minimizes relapses and risk of future injury.

 

NUTRITIONAL COUSELING

Patients are increasingly seeking out vitamin, mineral, herbal, homeopathic and other natural alternatives to medications which in some cases can be expensive, ineffective and produce undesired side effects. We offer general nutritional counseling as well as recommendations relative to specific health conditions a patient may be experiencing. We also utilize specialized products which address acute and chronic inflammation, support the immune system, promote efficient digestion and aid in detoxification of the body. We carry a variety of products in oral, topical, tea and injectable forms.

 

CUSTOM FOOT ORTHOTICS

Many symptoms in the back, hips and knees are caused by problems in the feet. Heel spurs, fallen arches and plantar fasciitis are common conditions that can occur in the foot. Misaligned foot bones and weak or collapsed arch muscles are an often overlooked source of the problem. In addition to adjusting foot bones and prescribing arch strengthening exercises, we offer custom foot orthotics. Our state-of-the-art foot scanner examines each foot individually and produces a computer generated detailed 3D image of your foot and arches which is electronically transmitted to the manufacturer to produce a pair of custom foot orthotics. Unlike most hard rigid orthotics found in orthopedic and podiatry offices, our orthotics are soft and comfortable to wear while strong enough to support the arch muscles and properly balance the feet.
