Services and Techniques

At Lovett 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 Amarillo 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. Lovett has years of training and experience in spinal adjustment.

Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises 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. 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.

Lifestyle Advice

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each  patient is a whole person.  We help them reach true health and wellness as a collaborative effort.

Nutritional Counseling

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patients' return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another? Dr. Lovett can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy offers a natural conservative treatment approach that relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. Our office provides specific massage and muscular therapy that is tailored to meet the patient's condition and injury. The benefits of massage therapy may include increasing blood circulation, reducing swelling, relaxing muscles, relieving muscle pain and spasms, and aid in recovery and range of motion.

Ultrasound

Therapeutic ultrasound is a form of deep therapy created by high frequency sound waves.  When applied to soft tissues and joints, sound waves become a form of micro-massage that helps reduce swelling, increase blood flow, decrease pain and lessen spasms.  The sound waves cause tissue to vibrate, creating deep heat, which concentrates blood to target tissues.  The increased blood flow delivers much needed oxygen and nutrients as well as removing cell wastes.  Deep heat reduces inflammation and muscle spasms, accelerates healing and may also increase range of motion.

Articular Therapy

Articular Therapy (AT) is the combination of massage with therapeutic exercises created to enable restoration of movement into a joint such as the hip, shoulder or ankle.  Through treatment of these areas, the Articular Therapist is able to restore normal mobility to other areas of the body such as the knees, the neck and the spine.  There are two expert Articular Therapists on staff, both of whom were trained by the creator of the technique, Dr. John Pollard.
