TACOMA, Wash., May 6, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In order to raise awareness about the importance of chiropractic care for injury recovery, Dr. Keogh and Dr. Schultz have launched a newly redesigned website, http://www.proctorchiropractic.com. According to the chiropractors, sports injury or car accident injury patients can benefit greatly from chiropractic care. The site, which includes free wellness information about injury treatment and pain management, is designed to help injury victims proactively take control of their health.
Tacoma chiropractor Dr. George Keogh announced that the practice, Proctor Chiropractic, has re-launched their website with a new design and content. The new user-interface and new material is designed to better educate patients about natural pain management.
"Our Tacoma wellness center is dedicated to helping patients reclaim and active life," said Dr. Keogh. "Many people are unfamiliar with the benefits of chiropractic care or unsure how these treatments work. We follow the Empowerment Model of Health Care, and are excited to use our new website as a resource to help empower patients for better health."
As part of this mission, the new website includes wellness articles on the benefits of spinal adjustments. There is also a "Chiro Myths & Facts" article, which discusses some of the commonly held misconceptions about spinal adjustments. All of this information is available in the website's "Community Content" library.
"Our goal is to make each patient a partner in the recovery process," said chiropractor Dr. Darin Schultz. "Educating patients about their injury and treatment options is essential to achieving this goal. Whether patients need back pain relief or help with a worker's comp injury, we consider ourselves partners in the quest for better health."
The website's 3D Spinal Simulator also helps patients better understand the importance of prompt treatment following an injury. The spine simulator shows how a misalignment of the musculoskeletal system can affect the body, compressing nearby nerves. According to the chiropractors, prompt treatment can alleviate this problem and reduce the risk for chronic pain.
The new website also includes a bi-weekly e-newsletter. Patients may sign up for this newsletter to stay on top of the latest health care developments. Individuals who sign up for the newsletter can also customize the content they receive, choosing from topics such as diet & nutrition or migraines & headaches.
"The e-newsletter, along with our new blog, is part of our patient outreach program," said Dr. Keogh. "We may only see a patient once or twice a week, but through our blog, newsletter and Facebook, we're working to build a strong, proactive health care community. We encourage patients to post questions or share their journey back to health on our blog."
Proctor Chiropractic provides comprehensive health, wellness and rehab services to the Tacoma, Proctor, Federal Way, Lakewood, Gig Harbor, and Fife communities. These treatments include spinal adjustments, massage therapy, physiotherapy, cold laser therapy and corrective exercises.
