Dr Kevin Wheeler Chiropractic - Your Path to Wellness

Chiropractic adjustments are a safe, effective, and natural approach to improving spinal motion, relieving pain, and helping the body function at its best. By gently correcting misalignments in the spine and joints, chiropractic care helps reduce nerve irritation and supports the body’s ability to heal itself.

At Gainesville Chiropractic Center, adjustments are always tailored to the individual, focusing on comfort, precision, and long-term results.

What Is a Chiropractic Adjustment?

A chiropractic adjustment (also called spinal manipulation) is a controlled, precise movement applied to a joint that has become restricted or misaligned. These restrictions — often called subluxations — can interfere with nerve communication, limit mobility, and contribute to pain or dysfunction.

The goal of an adjustment is to:

• Restore      proper joint movement
• Reduce      nerve pressure and irritation
• Improve      spinal alignment
• Decrease      pain and stiffness
• Enhance      overall mobility and function

Adjustments can be performed manually or with specialized instruments, depending on what is most appropriate for the patient.

How Chiropractic Adjustments Work

When the spine is properly aligned, the nervous system can communicate efficiently between the brain and the rest of the body. 

Misalignments can disrupt this communication, leading to pain, tension, inflammation, and decreased function.

Chiropractic adjustments help by:

• Correcting      spinal and joint misalignments
• Improving      joint flexibility and range of motion
• Reducing      muscle tension and inflammation
• Allowing      the nervous system to function more effectively
• 
  

Many patients notice relief quickly, while others experience gradual improvement as the body adapts and heals over time.

Conditions Commonly Treated With Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractic care may help patients experiencing:

• Neck      pain and stiffness
• Low      back pain
• Headaches      and migraines
• Sciatica      and radiating nerve pain
• Shoulder,      hip, and joint pain
• Muscle      tension and spasms
• Postural      issues
• Injuries      from work, sports, or daily activities

Each patient receives a personalized treatment plan based on their condition, health history, and goals.

What to Expect During an Adjustment

Your chiropractor will first perform a thorough evaluation, which may include a health history, physical examination, and imaging if necessary. Adjustments are then delivered with controlled, gentle pressure to specific areas of the spine or joints.

Some patients hear a popping or clicking sound — this is simply gas releasing from the joint and is completely normal.

Most patients describe adjustments as:

• Relieving
• Gentle
• Quick
• Comfortable

Safe, Gentle, and Personalized Care

Chiropractic adjustments are safe for patients of all ages, from children to seniors, when performed by a trained chiropractor. 

Techniques are always adapted based on age, condition, comfort level, and health needs.

Our focus is not just pain relief, but helping patients achieve better movement, improved function, and long-term wellness.

Supporting Your Body’s Natural Healing

Chiropractic care works with the body — not against it. By restoring alignment and motion, adjustments help reduce stress on the nervous system and allow the body to heal naturally without drugs or surgery.

At Gainesville Chiropractic Center, we are passionate about caring for families. Pregnancy and childhood are times of incredible growth and change, and gentle chiropractic care can support the body during these important stages. Our approach is safe, specific, and tailored to meet the unique needs of expectant mothers, infants, and children.

Pregnancy places new demands on the spine, pelvis, and nervous system. As your body changes, chiropractic care can help support comfort, mobility, and overall wellness throughout every trimester.

• Helps relieve back, hip, and pelvic discomfort 
• Supports proper pelvic alignment 
• May reduce tension and muscle strain 
• Promotes better posture and balance 
• Encourages optimal nervous system function 
• Provides comfort during a changing body
   

We use gentle, pregnancy-safe techniques and specialized tables designed to accommodate expectant mothers comfortably and safely.

Children experience physical stress from birth, learning to walk, carrying backpacks, sports, and everyday activities. Pediatric chiropractic care focuses on supporting proper spinal development and nervous system health from infancy through adolescence.

• Supporting healthy growth and development 
• Improving posture and spinal alignment 
• Enhancing nervous system communication 
• Promoting overall wellness and mobility 
• Supporting active lifestyles and sports participation
   

Adjustments for children are extremely gentle, using light pressure appropriate for their age and size. Many parents are surprised by how calm and comfortable their children are during visits.

At Gainesville Chiropractic Center, we take time to listen, educate, and create a care plan that fits your family’s needs. Whether you’re expecting a baby or caring for a growing child, our goal is to support health naturally and safely.

• Thorough consultations and assessments 
• Gentle, age-appropriate techniques 
• A welcoming, family-friendly environment 
• Care focused on comfort, safety, and results
   

From pregnancy through childhood and beyond, chiropractic care can be a valuable part of your family’s wellness routine.

A Gentle, Non-Surgical Approach to Disc & Nerve Pain Relief

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical, gentle treatment designed to relieve pressure on the spine, reduce pain, and promote natural healing of injured or damaged spinal discs. This therapy is commonly used to help patients suffering from chronic neck pain, low back pain, sciatica, herniated discs, and degenerative disc conditions.

At Gainesville Chiropractic Center, spinal decompression is performed in a controlled, comfortable setting and tailored specifically to each patient’s condition and comfort level.

How Spinal Decompression Works

Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine using a specialized decompression table. Unlike traditional traction, this treatment applies precise, computerized pulling and relaxing cycles that target specific areas of the spine.

This process helps to:

• Reduce      pressure on compressed spinal discs
• Create      negative pressure inside the disc
• Encourage      bulging or herniated discs to retract
• Improve      circulation of oxygen, nutrients, and fluids to the disc
• Relieve      pressure on irritated spinal nerves

By restoring proper spacing between the vertebrae, spinal decompression allows the body to begin healing naturally rather than simply masking pain.

What Is a Spinal Disc?

Spinal discs are soft, cushion-like structures located between each vertebra in the spine. 

They act as shock absorbers, allowing flexibility and movement while protecting the spinal nerves.

Each disc has:

• A tough      outer layer (annulus fibrosus)
• A gel-like      center (nucleus pulposus)
• 
  

What Happens When a Disc Is Injured?

Over time — or due to injury, poor posture, repetitive strain, or degeneration — discs can become damaged. Common disc problems include:

• Bulging      discs – the disc extends beyond its normal boundary
• Herniated      discs – the inner material pushes through the outer layer
• Degenerative      disc disease – gradual breakdown of disc structure
• 
  

When a disc loses height or bulges outward, it can press on nearby nerves, causing symptoms such as:

• Back      or neck pain
• Radiating      pain into the arms or legs (sciatica)
• Numbness      or tingling
• Muscle      weakness
• Reduced      mobility

Spinal decompression helps relieve this pressure, giving the disc space to heal and reducing irritation to the nerves.

Who May Benefit From Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression may be recommended for patients experiencing:

• Chronic      low back or neck pain
• Herniated      or bulging discs
• Sciatica      or radiating leg pain
• Degenerative      disc disease
• Pinched      nerves
• Failed      relief from traditional treatments
• 
  

A full evaluation is always performed to determine if spinal decompression is the right and safe option for each patient.

A Natural Path Toward Relief

Spinal decompression focuses on addressing the root cause of pain, not just the symptoms. When combined with chiropractic care and personalized treatment plans, many patients experience improved comfort, mobility, and quality of life.

Spinalator Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive chiropractic treatment designed to help relieve back and neck pain by improving spinal motion and reducing pressure on the discs and joints of the spine. This specialized therapy combines controlled spinal movement with decompression to promote healing, comfort, and long-term spinal health.

During treatment, you will lie comfortably on a specialized spinal table. The Spinalator uses smooth, rhythmic movements to gently stretch and decompress targeted areas of the spine. 

These precise motions help:

• Reduce pressure on spinal discs 
• Improve joint mobility 
• Increase circulation to injured tissues 
• Encourage proper spinal alignment
   

Treatments are calm, controlled, and tailored specifically to your condition and comfort level.

Spinalator Therapy may be helpful for patients experiencing:

• Low back pain 
• Neck pain 
• Herniated or bulging discs 
• Sciatica 
• Degenerative disc disease 
• Spinal stiffness or limited mobility 
• Chronic tension or muscle tightness
   

Your chiropractor will determine if Spinalator Therapy is appropriate based on your exam and individual needs.

• Non-surgical and drug-free 
• Gentle and comfortable 
• Improves spinal flexibility and motion 
• Helps relieve pressure on nerves 
• Supports natural healing 
• Safe for many patients who prefer low-force techniques
   

Many patients find Spinalator Therapy especially appealing because it is effective without being aggressive.

• Sessions typically last 10–20 minutes 
• Treatment is painless and relaxing  
• Most patients report a gentle stretching or soothing motion 
• Treatment plans vary depending on condition and goals
   

Some patients notice relief after just a few visits, while others benefit from a series of treatments for lasting improvement.

Spinalator Therapy is ideal for patients seeking a gentle approach to spinal care, including those who may not tolerate traditional manual adjustments. It is commonly used alongside other chiropractic treatments to create a comprehensive care plan.

At Gainesville Chiropractic Center, we focus on treatments that are safe, effective, and personalized. Spinalator Therapy is one of the advanced techniques we offer to help our patients move better, feel better, and live healthier lives.

Oxygen-Assisted Hyperbaric Therapy is a non-invasive wellness therapy that delivers oxygen in a pressurized environment to support the body’s natural healing and recovery processes. By gently increasing atmospheric pressure while delivering concentrated oxygen, more oxygen is dissolved into the bloodstream and delivered to tissues throughout the body.

This therapy is commonly used to support overall health, recovery, and cellular performance — helping the body function at its best.

During a session, you relax comfortably inside a specialized hyperbaric chamber while breathing oxygen under increased pressure. This process allows oxygen to reach areas of the body that may receive less oxygen during normal breathing.

Increased oxygen availability can:

• Support cellular energy production 
• Promote circulation and oxygen delivery 
• Help the body recover from physical stress 
• Support overall wellness and vitality
   

Sessions are gentle, relaxing, and typically last between 30–60 minutes.

Many patients choose oxygen-assisted hyperbaric therapy as part of a proactive wellness routine. Potential benefits may include:

• Support for natural healing and recovery 
• Improved energy and mental clarity 
• Enhanced circulation and oxygen utilization 
• Support for immune system function 
• Reduced physical fatigue and stress 
• Support for joint, muscle, and tissue recovery 
• Overall sense of wellness and rejuvenation
   

This therapy is commonly used by individuals focused on health optimization, recovery, and long-term wellness.

Oxygen-assisted hyperbaric therapy may be beneficial for:

• Individuals seeking improved overall health and vitality 
• Active adults and athletes looking to support recovery 
• Those experiencing physical or mental fatigue 
• Patients complementing chiropractic and wellness care 
• Anyone focused on proactive, whole-body wellness
   

Your care provider will help determine if this therapy is appropriate for your wellness goals.

• You’ll wear comfortable clothing and relax inside the chamber 
• Pressure increases gradually, similar to the feeling of changing altitude 
• Sessions are quiet, calm, and comfortable 
• Many patients read, listen to music, or simply relax 
• Most people feel refreshed and energized afterward
   

At Gainesville Chiropractic Center, oxygen-assisted hyperbaric therapy is often used alongside chiropractic care, decompression, and other wellness services to support whole-body health. By combining structural alignment with enhanced oxygen delivery, we help support your body’s ability to heal, adapt, and perform.
