Chiropractic Care
Persistent discomfort can limit our movement and mobility, hanging over our lives like a dark cloud. For those patients struggling with back discomfort, headaches, sciatica, disc concerns, and many other issues, Vernon chiropractor Dr. David Giacalone boosts the body’s natural healing ability through a personalized, whole-body approach to treatment.
Understanding the Cause of Your Problems
Many different factors can contribute to the concerns that bring patients through our doors. Sometimes it’s a joint that isn’t moving properly, other times it’s nerve irritation, disc involvement, muscle tension, or a combination of several issues.
Your appointment will begin with a thorough review of your health history, and our chiropractor will perform an examination to understand your specific situation. When needed, on-site X-rays provide additional insight.
From there, a personalized care plan is created to address the root cause of your discomfort. If it’s determined chiropractic care isn’t the best fit for your needs, you’ll be referred to another respected provider who can help.
Techniques Tailored to You
We use a range of methods to support your body’s natural healing process. The primary adjusting style is the Gonstead technique, known for its precision and effectiveness. Our chiropractor also incorporates the Thompson Technique and Flexion-Distraction, which is especially helpful for disc-related concerns.
For patients who prefer a gentler approach, the ArthroStim® is an instrument-assisted option that delivers comfortable, controlled care. Myofascial release techniques help address soft tissue tension, and rehabilitative exercises are prescribed to support your recovery and prevent future issues.
Supporting Your Long-Term Wellness
Most patients begin with two to three visits per week for the first two to four weeks, depending on the severity and duration of their concern. As you improve, visit frequency decreases. The ultimate goal is to help you reach a point where you can maintain your results through home exercises and healthy habits—with the option to continue with monthly wellness visits if you choose.
Patient Testimonials
Dr. Giacalone’s approach is very different. He listens to your concerns and gains a thorough understanding of your needs before he treats your condition. You are adjusted in an exam room and your experience is completely unique to your needs. I appreciate knowing I am treated for what I came in for, not just being adjusted for adjustment and flexibility purposes.”
-Jodi D.
I was highly impressed with Dr. Giacalone expertise in reading and sharing x-ray results with me as well as caution in requesting further tests prior to treating my neck. He spent a great deal of time with me on my first visit performing tests overlooked by medical doctors. My husband was impressed by Dr. Giacalone integrity during our free consultation. We both find Dr. Giacalone to be refreshingly straightforward and honest. He will not keep you coming if he cannot help you. I have seen several chiropractors over the years. After my first visit here, I feel that Dr. Giacalone philosophy, knowledge and skillful hands that perform adjustments rank him with my top chiropractor who retired. I am most grateful that my naturopathic physician referred me to him.”
