Cornerstone Family Chiropractic
Our Services
Chiropractic Care:
Chiropractic care is nervous system care.  Our nervous system (the brain, spinal cord, and nerves) control every cell, organ, function, sensation, and overall health of our bodies.  When the nervous system encounters interference our body encounters disease as a result.  Disease can manifest itself as fatigue, pain, sleep loss, headaches, allergies, depression, hyperactivity, or any number of presentations we call symptoms.
A doctor of Chiropractic is trained to locate these nervous system interferences at their spinal source.  When the vertebrae which make up your spine become fixated and lose proper motion, the structures of that fixated segment also malfunction.  This includes the joints, ligaments, muscles, arteries, veins, and most importantly, the spinal cord and spinal nerves.  The chiropractic adjustment restores motion to the fixated segment which allows proper nervous system function.
At Cornerstone Family Chiropractic this adjustment may be accomplished using
one of several techniques that Dr. Whitemarsh is trained in.  He will review your
condition and discuss your care with you.  Together, you will decide which
technique is best for you.  While each technique differs in force and protocol, all of
them are effective in restoring motion to fixated spinal joints. 

Nutrition:
At Cornerstone Family Chiropractic, our approach to nutrition is nothing new.  It is the one nutritionists, dieticians, and doctors have been recommending but so few following: fruits and vegetables.
                                                                 Whether you believe a Supreme Being created mankind and the earth we live on,                                                                       or believe it's all a spontaneous act of science, no one can deny the value of vitamins                                                     and minerals in their natural form.  There are synthetic vitamins everywhere                                                                         today, but our body's ability to optimally use these is significantly low.  The organic,                                                     vine-ripened fruits and vegetables that contain these vitamins and minerals will                                                                        never be rivaled when it comes to your body's use of them.
                                                                 But this is America.  Who here is really eating their daily recommended intake of                                                                       fruits and vegetables?  And for those of us eating plenty of them, are we eating a wide                                                                         variety, thereby receiving all the essential nutrients are bodies need to remain healthy                                                                      and fight disease?
Our office recommends Juice Plus+, a wholefood supplement that provides
your body with the daily fruits and vegetables it needs.  These are not synthetic.
They are the actual fruits and veggies, organic and vine-ripened, juiced, sodium
and sugar removed, and placed in capsules.  While there is no substitute for
eating what your body needs, it is our reasoning that Juice Plus+ sure beats more
chemicals that just pass through your system.

Therapeutic Exercise:
Whether you are recovering from an auto accident, personal injury, preventing future spinal decay, or just seeking wellness, your spinal care should include exercise.  It is crucial in encouraging spinal motion.  Many important structures pertaining to spinal wellness will benefit from exercise.  Your muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments are all in need of proper motion.
Your core muscles play a crucial role in maintaining balance in your spine.
If any group of core muscles needs to work more than the others, imbalance is
the result, and back pain and discomfort follow.  So much chronic back pain
can be relieved just by working these core muscles and balancing them
so that they are all maintaining equally.
In addition to core muscle strengthening, the muscles that allow your spine
to move through the normal ranges of motion must be maintained.  When your
spine loses normal range of motion, it will not miraculously get it back.  You
will need to keep these tissues strong and supportive in order to provide
your neck and low back with continual proper motion.

Massage Therapy:
The beneifts of massage therapy stand alone.  But in our office, we combine the therapeutic soft tisse relief with your chiropractic treatments.  Doing this allows for more rapid healing of your injuries, improved range of motion, and more effective chiropractic treatments. 
joints will almost never lock up without affecting the muscles and muscles will almost never tense up without affecting your joints.  If you truly wish to heal your body and remain healthy for years to come through complete rehabilitation, combining therapeutic massage and your other treatments will help you.
Rehabilitative Therapies:
Consultation, Examination, X-rays, Report of Findings:
Before we figure out what we can do for you we must figure out what is causing your symptoms and if chiropractic care can help.
At Cornerstone Family Chiropractic, a consultation with the doctor is always free.  If an examination is recommended, X-rays will be obtained to eliminate any guesswork.  The doctor will review your exam and X-ray findings with you and recommend the proper plan of action.
It is crucial that the relief you receive from your visits to our office last as long as you can stay healthy.  All of the treatment in the world will do you no good if we don't teach you the regular steps you will need to take to make sure your injury is not a permanent issue.
At Cornerstone Family Chiropractic we will use intersegmental traction, neuromuscular re-education, postural correction, yoga, aromatherapy, and other lifestyle changes to allow your body to stay healthy for as long as you have it. 
Spinal surgery is expensive, invasive, and rarely a longterm solution.  We want to get your system back to health and as far away from expensive procedures as possible.
