The Gainesville Chiropractic Center is a Wellness Center. This means that the patient examination focuses on the whole person rather than on just the presenting symptoms. People are not just a back problem, a headache problem, or a stomach problem. These symptoms are just warning signs that the body is not functioning properly. In the traditional medical world drugs and medication are the primary way of eliminating someone's symptoms. However, all drugs have side effects, and the relief they provide is only a temporary one - they do nothing to promote healing or wellness. Dr. Griffin's main focus is on improving one's overall health regardless of the symptoms. He knows that by restoring and maintaining proper spinal motion, spinal alignment and a healthy nerve flow that your health, and therefore your symptoms, will improve. This is one of the factors differentiating the Gainesville Chiropractic Center from other practices in the area. They are able to help anybody - from newborn infants to the elderly, and even people with osteoporosis because they never use any strenuous manipulation or twisting in order to correct a person's spine or nerve problems. Dr. Griffin also advises their patients on proper nutrition and supplementation using Designed Clinical Nutrition.
