At Gulf Coast Family Chiropractic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic care to each and every patient. We have included information below about the different services offered in our office; however, please call us at 251-948-2225 if you have any questions!

 

Chiropractic Care

Gulf Coast Family Chiropractic provides advanced spinal correction and chiropractic adjustments utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. We focus on spinal correction to not just aleviate pain but to aid in the prevention of dis-ease and to promote overall wellness. As a chiropractor who truly cares about his patients, Dr. David Bachman has years of training, expertise and experience in helping patients get pain relief for back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other related conditions originating from subluxation. Chiropractic care is also used to prevent injuries and is an important part of your health and wellness plan.

 

Corrective Exercises

At Gulf Coast Family Chiropractic, we teach our patients how to perform special "blueprint" exercises which can help strengthen and correct the irregularities in their body which may be causing pain. Many of these corrective exercises can actually be performed in the comfort of your own home to help improve the effectiveness of your chiropractic care and spinal correction plan. In addition to skeletal misalignment, you may be experiencing pain that is caused by muscles and connective tissues which are out of their proper place. Other types of pain such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches are caused by muscles and tissues that are being used improperly, causing injuries over time. In each case, targeted corrective exercises and stretches will help you feel good while also helping your body achieve balance and health.

 

Lifestyle Support

Many of our patients come to see us to address a specific pain symptom such as back pain, neck pain or headaches. While we address your specific condition with chiropractic care, we often find other modalities work with chiropractic to encourage overall health and wellness. For example, there may be a certain activity you should avoid or do differently to prevent yourself from unintentionally aggravating your particular health challenge. Or you may be expressing symptoms that could be improved with a particular supplement or vitamin. And since prevention is one of our main focuses, we recommend therapeutic grade essential oils and the removal of harmful toxins from daily use and cleaning products (to the extent possible.) We offer Zyto scans to our patients to help identify potential deficiencies and make informed recommendations. The goal of lifestyle support with a chiropractic care plan is to help each and every patient achieve the fulfilling and happy lifestyle they deserve, one that is full of the activities they enjoy the most. We recognize that every single one of our patients is a whole person, and we use our expertise to help them reach optimal health and wellness.

 

Infrared Sauna

Sweating is your body’s safe and natural way to detoxify and stay healthy! Forget what you think of when you picture a sauna. This is not a traditional, steamy, hard to breathe in sauna. It’s an infrared sauna that uses near, mid, & far heat wavelengths to penetrate 1.5” deep into your skin and help your body rid itself of toxins. Our sauna has been clinically tested to warm your body at the core rather than just on the surface. The result: Detoxification, Weight Loss, Pain Relief, Anti-Aging/ Skin Rejuvenation, Stress Reduction, Improved Circulation & Workout/ Sport Recovery...just to name a few. Our sauna also utilizes visible spectrum, or color light, to help heal physical, mental and spiritual imbalances (chromotherapy.) Infrared sauna is a very important component of any wellness plan. Sessions can be purchased one-time or as part of a weekly or monthly plan. 

Nutritional Counseling

What does nutrition have to do with chiropractic care? The goal of chiropractic care is to help patients achieve total health and balance with their body. As part of that goal we provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and promote a diet rich in protein, greens, and healthy fats. We also recommend limiting sugar intake as much as possible and to avoid any foods/drinks labeled "diet" or "sugar-free." Our facebook page is full of information on harmful chemicals in the American diet and what you should avoid. Do you know which supplements and essential oils are good for you? Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another? At GCFC we can provide each patient with a structured program that is based on his or her individual needs.  

 

Massage Therapy

 

Massage therapy does more than make you feel good, it can actually help your body achieve balance and health. The benefits of massage therapy may include the increase of blood circulation, a localized reduction in swelling and the relaxation of muscles. Massage has been known to relieve muscle pain and spasms, increase a patient's range of motion, while also aiding in a patient's recovery. Some investigative studies have even indicated that a single session of massage may help boost your immune system! Book your massage HERE

 

Spinal & Postural Screenings

 

There is a saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Your spinal health is no exception. Posture and spinal screenings can help reveal important health information, unlocking the door to improved health and well-being.
