Chances are, you or someone you know has received chiropractic treatments to treat back and neck pain. Some people even visit a chiropractor regularly to help with chronic pain issues.
A chiropractor’s primary method for treatment is based on spinal manipulation to realign the spine. This will, in turn, promote self-healing of muscles, joints, and tissues. If you are lucky enough to not suffer from any back or neck ailments, visiting a chiropractor may be the furthest thing from your mind. However, chiropractors can do more than you think. There are several reported benefits of spinal manipulation that support overall health and wellness. Read our blog to learn more. Most likely, there’s at least one benefit that will be surprising to you.
Improved Sleep
When your spine is out of alignment, it can cause tension and swelling. It’s also possible that you have a mild headache or sore neck from the misalignment and don’t even realize it. Regular chiropractic adjustments can promote relaxation, less pain, and therefore promote better quality sleep.
Reduces Stress
There are so many ways that our bodies can feel stress. Stress can be felt through tension, a need for rest, aches, pain, and just a general sense of feeling run down. Fortunately, proper spine alignment can help with all of these issues. People get used to living with pain and feeling tired all of the time, but there are ways to get relief. Chiropractic treatments can be part of your plan to reduce stress and achieve better overall health.
Boosts Immunity
You might be surprised to hear that chiropractic treatments can boost your immune system. How is this possible? How can cells, bacteria, and organs be influenced by a spine that is out of place? Some people don’t realize the body consists of several very complex, interdependent systems. Each one of those systems can be influenced by another. In simple terms, if everything isn’t working together in harmony, the result can be pain or sickness.
Chiropractic treatments can help to align the spine and keep pathways clear for your internal organs to function properly. When everything is functioning as it should, your body can use its powerful immune system to stay healthy and promote healing.
Improves Digestion
This is another benefit that is a surprise to most people. On the surface, it doesn’t make sense that your spine and stomach would be interrelated. This is another example of how one system not functioning optimally can influence another. It’s helpful to know that the nerves that run through the spine also control acid production in your stomach. If a misaligned spine creates impacts the nerves running through it, then your stomach will be affected also.
Make You a Better Athlete
Getting a spinal adjustment isn’t going to make you an instant athlete, but it can help to improve your range of motion, which is very important for most athletes. Most people know that stretching and staying flexible is critical whether you’re a runner, a weight-lifter or an amateur golfer. If your spine is out of alignment, it can limit your flexibility, cause inflammation and make it harder to move with a full range of motion.

This year has been an unusual one for most people. The worldwide pandemic has surely changed the way many people work, travel, and go to school. With a continued focus on social distancing, many businesses are allowing their employees to work from the safety of their own homes. While this is a good idea for helping to prevent the spread of the virus, working in a different environment that may not be set up for ergonomics is taking a toll on many people’s backs.
In today’s blog from Flex Chiropractic, we want to help those of you who are working from home by giving you some tips to help prevent and manage back pain. Keep reading, and if you’re in need of a chiropractic adjustment, contact Flex Chiropractic in Columbia.
Tip #1: Avoid sitting for long periods
If you were lucky enough to have a standing desk at work, then you’re probably missing it now that you’re working from home. When you sit for extended periods at your desk, it constricts the blood flow in your legs and puts pressure on your spine. Experts even say that sitting for too long too often can be bad for your heart and brain. Long story short, feel better, and stay healthy by setting a reminder to get up every half hour or as often as possible.
Tip #2: Move around at least once an hour
It’s not enough to just stand up every so often, your body needs to move to really get the blood pumping. Although you might not be able to take a 10-minute break every hour, try to at least do some stretches at your desk or even do a few jumping jacks. If you have a conference call, consider using a wireless headset so you can walk during your meeting. And, when you can get away from your desk don’t just go to another room and sit down — walk up and down the stairs a few times, take a walk down to the mailbox, or take your dog for a stroll around the block.
Tip#3: Invest in a good chair
When you do sit down, having a good chair can make all the difference in how your back feels. Look for a chair with the right combination of cushion and support and then make sure it’s the right height for your desk. If you’re short, you may have to use a lumbar support cushion and use a footrest to help keep your feet securely planted. If you’re hunched over, have to reach for your keyboard, or are sitting on the edge of your seat, you’ll need to make adjustments or find a better fitting chair.
Tip #4: Make sure your computer monitor is at the right height
Many people experience back and neck pain because their computer monitor isn’t at the right height. Oftentimes, people will be sitting at a level that requires them to look down at their monitor. This puts great stress on your neck muscles and can cause your back to get out of alignment.
The next time you’re at your desk, look at your monitor — is your head completely straight and level? If not, you’ll want to invest in a stand that can put your screen at the right height.
Tip #5: Avoid working from the couch or in bed
Have you always wished you didn’t have to get up and get ready for work each morning? Now that you have that option, you might be tempted just to reach for your laptop and work in your PJs without even getting out of bed. As comfy as it sounds, working from your bed or even a couch can wreak havoc on your back. You won’t have support where you need it, plus sitting hunched over restricts your breathing, reduces circulation, and is just plain bad for you.

In the articles we’ve written, we’re usually telling you about some service that our chiropractic clinic offers, whether it’s traditional chiropractic treatments, spinal decompression therapy, cold-laser therapy, or any of a number of health treatments that we offer at both our Lexington and Columbia chiropractic offices.
Every so often we like to do something a little different, such as letting our clients do the talking. We’re quite proud of the number score we get from the various review sites like Google, Facebook, and Top Rated Local, but it’s also very important to read the reviews to find out exactly what our clients are trying to tell us. Let’s take a look at some specific Facebook reviews, followed by our responses.
“Wow, we have been blown away by the service and the kindness and sincerity here. Our family went for about a year to one of the more larger chiropractors in town. They were nice people but crazy expensive but that was our first time in chiropractic care, so we didn’t really know any different…If you want a drive thru chiropractor who is going to treat you the same as everyone else so they can move a lot of people through in a short time then go somewhere else. But if you want a place that take the time to learn what your body needs and then make those necessary adjustments then come here!”
— Hart Traylor
So glad you wrote a review for us, Hart! While we welcome competition from other chiropractors in Lexington or Columbia, we’re very happy that you noticed what set us apart. We’re certainly happy that you were able to get adequate care at one of the bigger chiropractic offices, but we’ve heard from more than one customer that many of them are charging far too much for their services.
We’re also happy to hear that you’ve noticed how we treat our patients. We make sure to treat each patient as an individual. Sometimes we hear people complain about other chiropractors by saying “they diagnosed me before they even met me,” meaning that the chiropractor had a playbook of standard procedures that they seldom deviated from.
At Flex Chiropractic, we make sure to listen to every patient so that we can come up with a very specific treatment plan. Sometimes back pain relief involves manual chiropractic treatments, and other times it’s a good idea to introduce ultrasound therapy. Every person is different, as is their injury/pain, so our doctors always make sure to treat everyone individually.
“I have never felt so comfortable going to a medical office before. Even when I got my treatment l had my son with me and they offered to play with him and keep him company during my xrays. We are excited to start the process of feeling better!”
— Ohoni Kialani
Thanks for writing in, Ohani. We’re so pleased that you felt comfortable when you stepped into our office. We understand that it’s not just the care our doctors give you, but also the way you’re treated by the entirety of the staff, that reflects on our chiropractic clinic.
We also understand that everyone who walks in is at a different part of their treatment plan. Some people are coming in for wellness chiropractic visits. Other clients are walking in for the first time, having never seen a chiropractor before; they might even be skeptical. Treating everyone with respect and giving them the time they deserve is an important part of their treatment.
If you go to our Lexington chiropractor, prepare to feel even more comfortable! You’ll be dealing with the same great staff, but we’ve moved to a newly renovated office at 305 Columbia Ave that’s closer to the center of Lexington. There’s a lot more space in our new clinic, so we’ll be able to offer even more services to a growing number of clients. But don’t worry, we’ll still keep the level of service that Hart was mentioning above.
Okay, let’s take a look at one more review today.
“Been going here for many many years and have recommended them to others over the years. They understand how my lifestyle affects my back and neck and always know what to do to get me back on track.”
— Maribeth Corbett
We’re glad to have had you in for treatments for so many years as well, Maribeth!
You talk about how your lifestyle affects your back, and that’s true for most of us. We always try to give our patients advice on how their daily lives affects their bodies, and will offer advice on exercises to do to help the body recover when it’s not in our chiropractor’s office. But sometimes there are areas of your life — such as work — that are hard to change and lead to the need for more chiropractic. We’re always dedicated to helping people find the treatments they need when they’re here and making them fit into their daily lifestyle.

All too often, the public discourse surrounding stress and anxiety centers around its impact on mental health, and rightfully so. Mental health has an overarching impact on our physical well-being. However, these conversations frequently exclude how stress and anxiety manifest physically in our bodies.
If you suffer from chronic neck and shoulder pain while also feeling susceptible to the emotional impact stress has on you overall, these two may be correlated. Flex Chiropractic is a rejuvenating practice that provides a comprehensive understanding of your conditions and physical discomforts. Visit us for a consultation and meet with us in Lexington or Columbia and read on as we discuss stress-related neck and shoulder pain.
Connecting Stress and Physical Discomfort
The neck and shoulders are the most commonly affected areas when stress and tension become too much to bear. You may experience tightness in the muscles or a feeling of pressure radiating from the neck, shoulders, or back. These unpleasant physical symptoms are often accompanied by headaches, migraines, and even jaw tension. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by stress, it’s important to take a step back and take a few moments to relax and unwind. Taking a few deep breaths and stretching your neck and shoulders can help to relieve some of the tension and provide some relief. Taking the time to practice mindfulness or engage in some gentle exercise can also be beneficial in managing stress levels. If the tension and stress become too much, it’s important to seek professional help and advice.
A Natural Approach to Stress-Related Neck and Shoulder Pain
Stress and anxiety can be incredibly debilitating, and often, the physical manifestations of stress can be difficult to manage. Neck and shoulder pain caused by stress can be especially challenging; typical treatments may not provide the relief you need to feel better. Flex Chiropractic understands the correlation between stress and physical pain and can help you find relief.
Our team of licensed professionals can provide a natural, holistic approach to reducing stress-induced neck and shoulder pain. We use a combination of treatments to target the root cause of the problem, not just the symptoms. Our approach will help to reduce pain and increase mobility in the neck and shoulders so that you can find relief and get back to living the life you want.
Our goal is to help you find relief from stress-induced pain so that you can focus on the things that matter. We want to help you find a balance between managing stress and feeling your best. With our help, you can find the relief and comfort you need to reduce stress-related pain in the neck and shoulders.
Comprehensive Care for Stress and Anxiety
Our clinics provide a wide variety of treatments to help reduce your neck and shoulder pain. Our traditional chiropractic adjustments will help to realign any misaligned vertebrae or joints, while our massage therapy uses deep tissue techniques to relieve any built-up muscle tension. We also offer stretching and exercise programs tailored to your needs to help strengthen and stretch your neck and shoulder muscles, allowing you to move more easily. Our experienced team understands that everyone experiences pain differently, so we will work with you to create an individualized plan to reduce your discomfort and get you back to feeling your best.

We’re talking about taking small, simple steps that can promote a stronger back and free you from everyday back pain. If this sounds good to you, keep reading. At Flex Chiropractic, your local chiropractor in Columbia, our goal is to help people live your healthiest life and you can start by reading about these five healthy habits for a pain-free back.
Pain is something that many people live with on a daily basis. It’s a sign that your body is out of balance or that something is wrong. Fortunately, many times, the problem that is causing the pain can be easily treated. If you suffer from frequent headaches or back, neck, hip, muscle, or joint pain, instead of just popping pain pills or anti-inflammatory medication to “deal with it”, you should consider seeking treatment from a chiropractic specialist.
In today’s post from Flex Chiropractic, we’re going to discuss seven signs that you need a chiropractic adjustment. While some of these may seem obvious to some, going to a chiropractor for things like leg or arm pain may be a concept that’s new to some people. Keep reading and if you think you could benefit from a chiropractic adjustment, contact Flex Chiropractic in Lexington to schedule an appointment.
Frequent Headaches
Everyone experiences a headache every now and then, but if your headaches have become frequent or especially painful, it’s likely that you have a bigger problem than just normal stress causing it. Although headaches are a common symptom for hundreds of ailments and conditions ranging from sickness and injury to poor posture and even dehydration, headaches can also be the result of a spine that’s out of alignment. If you have chronic headaches or even migraines, it’s wise to have a trained chiropractor examine your spine to determine if misalignment could be causing your issues.
Pain That Radiates Down Your Leg
Have you ever had a sharp, shooting pain that radiated down the entire length of your leg? Not only is this kind of pain uncomfortable, but it can also drastically limit your ability to perform everyday tasks. Oftentimes, radiating leg pain originates from pressure on the sciatic nerve caused by a herniated or slipped disc. The result is a burning or stabbing pain that can come and go or remain constant.
Sciatica is quite common and can be caused by a variety of things including injury, lack of physical activity, and normal aging. Fortunately, people who suffer from shooting leg pain caused by sciatica are often able to get relief with a spinal adjustment.
You Have Limited Range of Motion
Limited range of motion is another indicator that your body may be out of balance and a visit to your chiropractor can help to identify what is causing your mobility to be disrupted. Although mobility that is mildly limited may seem like more of an inconvenience than anything, expanding and regaining your full range of motion can improve mobility and strength and prevent future spinal problems down the road.
You Were Recently Involved in a Car Accident
Car accidents can be life-threatening, but even if you only experienced a minor fender-bender, your body could still be feeling the effects. It doesn’t take much for your spine to be jostled out of place or to experience mild whiplash. While you may be inclined to sit back and just hope time will take the aches and pains away, it would be wise to see if you could benefit from a chiropractic adjustment.
You Have Numbness or Tingling in Your Arms or Legs
There are many serious health conditions that can cause numbness or tingling in the arms and legs, but oftentimes it’s caused by minor misalignment of the vertebrae. When vertebrae are out of place, they can interfere with blood flow or cause nerves to be pinched, leading to the numbness you feel in your extremities. The easiest way to correct the problem is with a spinal adjustment that can correct any vertebrae that are out of place.
You Spend Several Hours a Day Sitting at a Desk
Millions of people spend the majority of their working days sitting at a desk, or in some sedentary position. This not only promotes poor posture, but it puts stress on your spine and restricts blood flow to your legs. The best thing you can do is to schedule frequent breaks so you can get up and move around. You should also make sure that your chair and desk are at the proper height for your body so as to reduce any unnecessary stress from having to reach or slouch in unnatural positions. Visiting a chiropractor can also help reduce the pain that has developed from poor ergonomic habits and ensure that your spine is properly aligned
You Have Chronic Aches and Pains
Pain is such a general term that can have one or many causes. You wouldn’t go to the emergency room for a sore finger, so why try risky procedures and dangerous prescription medications for chronic aches and pains? The answer to your pain may be simpler than you think.
If you suffer from chronic back or neck pain, or pain in your muscles or joints, relief may be right around the corner. Your first step should be to consult with a chiropractor to determine if a spinal adjustment could help. While chiropractic care can’t fix everything, it has helped millions of people get relief and live more active lives without surgery or dangerous prescription medications.

One of the most common questions that people ask when they get to our office (or more likely one they type into Google) is “is Chiropractic Care painful?” It’s a very fair question. After all, most people associate care with pain if they have something wrong with them. Surgery is painful, shots are painful, getting a bone set is painful. So when it comes to seeking pain relief from our doctors and specialists, the idea that it could be painful is common.
Does Care Received At A Chiropractic Clinic Hurt?
Let’s take a look at what you might experience at our chiropractic clinic, and if each type of care can be painful or not..
Chiropractic Adjustments
Let’s start at the heart of our business: chiropractic adjustments. The entire practice of chiropractic began with the physical manipulation of the spine and neck, and millions of people have benefited from it.
But is it painful? In nearly every case, no. Our adjusters have years of training and have most likely seen many patients with the same sort of pain that you’re experiencing, whether it’s lower back pain or something wrong with the neck.
If there is any discomfort, it would be some minor soreness after the joint manipulation. However, such soreness is highly tolerable if it ends up relieving the painful problems you came in for.
Pro Adjuster
When a chiropractor performs a standard chiropractic evaluation, they are looking for subluxations (minor misalignments) of the spine. They do this by touch, and then use traditional chiropractic techniques. Because of the movement, twisting, and “popping” associated with adjustments, some people are scared to head to a chiropractor.
The Pro Adjuster uses a different method to tackle subluxations. A u-shaped instrument sends painless signals through the vertebrae, taking measurements as the doctor or technician moves it down the spine. Once a misalignment is found, the same instrument is used to gently tap that spot with a rapid percussion. While you can certainly feel it, it’s not tapping hard enough to hurt.
Ultrasound Therapy
When most people think of ultrasound, the first thing that comes to mind is the visualization of babies in the womb. Ultrasound therapy is different in that the wand uses a different frequency and has no image-receiving head. Ultrasound therapy uses ultrasonic waves — sound waves that humans can’t hear — in order to stimulate cells so that they can absorb more nutrients and oxygen.
Does ultrasound therapy hurt? Not at all. You can’t feel the sound waves, and the only sensation likely to be experienced is the gentle movement of the ultrasound wand on your back.
Cold-Laser Therapy
When most people think of lasers, they imagine the lasers in movies that burn holes through objects. But few lasers are actually powerful enough to burn, and cold lasers are actually very useful when dialed in to the proper frequency.
While ultrasound therapy uses sound waves in order to stimulate blood flow to the area in question, cold-laser therapy uses light waves to produce similar results. The lasers used produce no heat, but there may be a tingling sensation brought about my increased blood flow.
Massage Therapy
Massages serve a number of purposes. Sometimes their primary goal is to reduce stress, other times to “work out the kinks.” Still some massages are undergone simply because they feel good!
In general, massages at a chiropractic clinic are mostly about helping muscles recover from some sort of injury. While there might be some discomfort as the problem areas are being located, the level of pressure can be changed in order to avoid further pain. Like all chiropractic care, the minor discomforts of treatment are worth it for the relief received.
Decompression Therapy
Decompression therapy involves a patient lying on a table and being secured to both ends of it. The lower half of the table the slightly separates from the upper, gently giving relief to the patient’s spine.
While it might sound like a scary procedure, there’s nothing to worry about and no pain involved. It’s so gentle that the only real feeling is one of relief over the weeks of the procedure.
Kinesiology Taping
Kinesiology taping involves putting long adhesive bandages on various parts of the body in order to make some muscles work harder while giving others a break.
Kinesiology tape does not hurt when it is applied, though it takes some time to get used to the way it affects your body. Getting it off can be a bit more difficult, though. It uses very strong adhesives to stay on, even if you sweat. To take it off without any sort of preparation could cause pain much like taking off the strongest band-aid you’ve ever applied! That’s why it’s important to be patient when removing kinesiology tape. Most people apply baby oil to it, let it sit for 20 minutes, and then lather it up in the shower in order to slowly peel it off.
Can Care Even Be Enjoyable?
Now that we’ve detailed the fact that most of the procedures you’ll experience at a chiropractic office are painless, let’s discuss some of the reasons that it can actually be enjoyable.
We Crave Touch
Most of us enjoy being touched by a professional caregiver. Massage is an obvious example of this, but most patients also like the feeling of the attention they receive with ultrasounds, adjustments, and cold laser therapy. It simply feels good to relax for a while and have a professional focus on relieving you of your pain.
The Effects Can Be Immediate
There aren’t many medicines or procedures that give immediate relief. If your doctor gives you antibiotics, it can take days before you see a difference in your health. If he or she tells you to lose weight for your health, it takes months of eating right and exercising.
Some of the procedures at our chiropractic clinic can give immediate relief. Chiropractic adjustments can reduce stress on the spine, often reducing pain considerably once the patient sits up. Cold laser therapy can help increase blood flow, and massage therapy leaves many of our clients feeling great. It’s just so nice to leave our chiropractic clinic feeling better than when you came in!
We Like Popping!
As we mentioned before, for the few people who don’t like the “popping” aspect of a chiropractic adjustment, the Pro Adjuster is probably the right method of care for them.
Most people, however, really quite enjoy a bit of popping! Many people crack their knuckles, and we all know how satisfying popping bubble wrap can be. With a typical adjustment, the popping sound is a definite indication between before and after, not only giving physical relief but also giving an audible cue that something has indeed occurred.
Contact Your Local Chiropractor!
We’re happy to report that, in most cases, chiropractic care isn’t going to be painful. If you experience any pain or discomfort at all at all during your chiropractic care, it’s going to minimal, and we’ll make sure to tell you that it’s coming.
When it comes to chiropractic care, it’s much like many procedures that you might experience in life.

The minor discomfort you could experience during your time with a chiropractor will end up leading to less pain in the future. Contact your local chiropractors in Columbia and Lexington today!
Lower back pain is something that many people live with on a daily basis. It can be caused by a wide range of factors that can be related to job, lifestyle, and previous injury just to name a few. While you can visit a chiropractor for lower back pain treatment, there are things you can do as part of your daily routine to get relief.
If you suffer from lower back pain, just getting through your workday can be a miserable experience. So what can you do to alleviate some of the pain so you can get on with your day? The back experts at Flex Chiropractic are here to help you understand what might be causing your pain and give you suggestions for things you can do to alleviate it. Check out our blog, and then give us a call if you have any questions.
Migraines are horrible, but if you suffer from them we don’t have to tell you that. Some people suffer nausea or dizziness, while others are sensitive to light or sound. The pain can go beyond the head and into the face and neck. And, of course, there’s the pain in the brain itself, which can range from a dull throb to severe and sharp stabs.
If you’re tired of migraines and the medicines aren’t helping as much as you’d like, it might be time to give chiropractic care a try. It’s been known in the industry for quite some time that careful manipulation of the spine can help prevent and treat migraines in some people. Let’s take a look at the specifics.
Preventive Care
Those who believe in the power of chiropractic often view it as a preventive measure in order to deal with pains throughout the body before they begin. Our bodies can stand up to the wear and tear of the world we live in much better if they are properly aligned in the first place.
This article from Migraine.com discusses a study that involved headaches as a whole, including migraines. The study found that preventative chiropractic care can indeed help in the prevention of typical headaches as well as migraines, which are a more all-encompassing, body-wide malady.
As A Treatment
While the group of people who received chiropractic as a preventive measure showed promises, chiropractic care has also been shown to reduce the pain associated with migraines. While most people don’t come in during a migraine, we do see people come in at points of their lives that they’re more susceptible to them. For instance, if a person has had three migraines recently, they often see fewer of them after they see us.
Does chiropractic care always work for migraines? Unfortunately not. But approximately half of the people who receive chiropractic care report a significant reduction in the amount of pain and the frequency they get migraines. Those are pretty good odds if you’re interested in reducing the pain associated with migraines.
Reduced Medicine
Many people who have chiropractic treatments in response to migraines report that they don’t need to take as many medications after the treatment. In other words, they are less reliant on painkillers as a way of dealing with migraines. Using less medication is good for the body and for the environment, not to mention the way it can reduce spending on medicine.
Body Health
If you’ve been to a doctor recently, it’s likely that they’ve given you some tips on how to improve your health. Eat healthier, get more exercise, and find ways that you can reduce stress in your life.
Since we don’t dispense prescriptions, chiropractors tend to be even more interested in dispensing such healthy advice. We know that migraines aren’t something that you choose to have, but we might be able to help you pinpoint the things that trigger them. We’ll treat you to ensure your body is working for you and not against you when it comes to dealing with migraines.
Could Chiropractic Help Your Migraines?
If you’ve never tried chiropractic care before, you might be skeptical about it helping your migraines. But when you think about it, you don’t have much to lose and everything to gain. If a few trips to a chiropractic clinic in Columbia or Lexington can reduce the number of migraines you get, isn’t it worth a try? We’ve see it work in both clinics and we’d love to alleviate some of your pain. We’d love to help you!
The only constant in life is change. Sometimes it’s bad change, like when you get injured and you need the help of a chiropractor in Lexington. Other times it’s good change, like when your chiropractor changes office locations!
Dr. Bills and his staff have recently moved to a new office at 305 Columbia Avenue, Lexington, SC 29072. Now don’t worry, it’s only 2.5 miles from the old location. Even if you lived right next to us at our old location, you’d only have a six-minute drive to come see us in our new offices.
Why the change? We’re glad you asked. Here’s how and why your local chiropractor in Lexington has upgraded.
There’s More Room
As our business has grown, we’ve been seeing more people who are looking for chiropractic treatments. More people through the door requires more space for all of them, and we’re happy to say that our new location is considerably more spacious than the previous one.
Of course, with more room comes the possibility of new treatments. While many people come to us for traditional chiropractic treatments, there are many other ways to treat pain in the neck, back, and throughout the body. With more space comes the opportunity to offer the latest treatments that chiropractors are offering.
It’s Newly Renovated
Here’s another great reason for the relocation: we get to move into a newly renovated building. In order to renovate our old building, we would have had to shut down for a couple of months, and that certainly wasn’t a very viable option. We knew our patients were counting on us to stay open, and we certainly didn’t want to put them in the lurch while our old office was remodeled. Of course, we also didn’t want them to have to put up with the dust and the noise!
In the interest of providing a larger space, as well as one that’s cleaner and more modern, we were more than happy to move. Of course, we’re also more convenient to a larger percentage of our customers, because…
We’re In The Heart of Lexington
While we’ve moved just 2.5 miles, it’s certainly in the right direction. Our chiropractic office is much closer to the heart of Lexington now, which means that we’re conveniently located for even more people.
We Look Forward To Seeing You!
When you see our new office, we bet you’ll be amazed at how much nicer it is than the previous one. We’ve made the change for everyone — our current customers, future customers, and staff — to provide the best chiropractic office in Lexington. We want to offer the wonders of chiropractic medicine to as many people as we can, so we’ve done everything we can to make it as convenient as possible.
If you’re in need of chiropractic care, we hope you’ll set up an appointment and come visit us. Flex offers a host of treatments, including spinal decompression therapy, ultrasound therapy, cold-laser therapy, kinesiology, electrical stimulation, and more. Contact us today to get started!
