Services & Techniques

At Wellness First Chiropractic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care in Louisville. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer our patients.

Chiropractic Care

Dr. Kimberlain utilizes a variety of chiropractic techniques to help his patients achieve maximum spinal alignment and health.  He was trained at Palmer College of Chiropractic West in San Jose, California, and uses current, evidence-based protocols in diagnosing and treating their conditions.   A few of the chiropractic techniques Dr. Kimberlain utilizes are Diversified Technique, DROP, Activator, Myofascial Release Technique,  Cranio-sacral, and Sacro-Occipital Technique.  Utilization of these techniques are dependent on the findings that Dr. Kimberlain uncovers during the initial exam.  Dr. Kimberlain uses a multitude of techniques because he realizes that everyone is unique and requires a unique approach in achieving proper spinal alignment.  Dr. Kimberlain always takes extreme care while adjusting his patients to ensure their comfort through the healing process.   

Corrective Exercises

Every patient, regardless of activity level, will receive accompanying rehabilitation stretches and exercises, unique to the patient's condition, to aid in the healing process.  Research has shown that "active" care, care that requires the patient put forth energy during the healing process, is much, much more efficient than "passive" care, where the patient only receives treatment from a practitioner.  "Active" care has also shown that the healing effects last much longer than "passive" interventions, and that it helps the patient start to develop a regimen of stretching and exercising on their own, which will lead to a healthier, longer life span.  All stretches and exercises are shown and can be performed in office, so that you know that you are doing them correctly to reduce the chance of injury.   

Lifestyle Advice

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.

Nutritional Counseling

As Americans, we are one of the most over-fed and under-nurished nations in the world,   We also have one of the highest rates of chronic diseases in the world, most of which can be attributed to our nutrient-poor diets.  We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another? Dr. Robert Kimberlain can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.  Check out the Nutritional Counseling tab on the home page of this site for more information!!!

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy offers a natural conservative treatment approach that relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. Our office provides specific massage and myofascial release therapy that is tailored to meet the patient's condition and injury. The benefits of massage therapy may include increasing blood circulation, reducing swelling, relaxing muscles, relieving muscle pain and spasms, and aid in recovery and range of motion.  Please check out the Coupons section of this website for great deals on massage!
