Chiropractic Care
At Jenkins Chiropractic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. We provide advanced nervous system and spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists.
Chiropractic works because you are a self-healing, self-regulating organism controlled by your nervous system. Millions of instructions flow down your brain, down the spinal cord and out to every organ and tissue. Signals sent back to the brain confirm if your body is working right. Improper motion or position of the moving bones of the spine is called a subluxation. A subluxation can interfere with the vital exchange by irritating nerves and compromising the function of affected organs and tissues. Specific spinal adjustments can help improve mind/body communications. Health often returns with improved nervous system control of the body.
Chiropractic is a system of healing that recognizes the innate healing capacities of the body and seeks, through a variety of approaches, to remove impediments to health. Doctors of Chiropractic are physicians who consider man as an integrated being and give special attention to the physiological and biochemical aspects including structural, spinal, musculoskeletal, neurological, vascular, nutritional, emotional and environmental relationships.

Transitions is an extensive plan that covers everything you'll need to get fit and trim, not just a set of foods you can or cannot eat. In fact, a big part of the Transitions Lifestyle System is helping you make healthy choices while still eating a normal, diverse diet!
Our plan doesn't focus just on food like many other systems. The Transitions Lifestyle System™ provides a total-system approach that promotes healthy food choices, behavior modification and menu plans.
The Transitions Lifestyle System includes: low-gylcemic index (GI) meal plans, a daily journal to guide you, weight-management supplements to accelerate weight loss, entrees, bars and shakes to keep you on track, behavior modification and support materials to ensure your success, an interactive Web site to track your progress and more!
Transitions is not a diet...
...it's a Total Lifestyle!

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.

Health Lecture Series
Dr. Jenkins is the local representative for the Foundation for Wellness Professionals, (a National, Not-For-Profit Association of professional healthcare motivational and keynote speakers, originally founded as "The Doctors Speakers Bureau" in 1985 by Dr. David Singer, in Clearwater, Florida).
This volunteer, not-for-profit association operates through independently-operated chapters across the United States and Canada. All seminars and workshops emphasize preventative care as the key to good health. Workshops and seminars vary in length from 30 minutes to one hour. Audience participation is strongly recommended when possible and those who attend always leave with practical information they can put to use to improve their lives.
Members are natural healthcare professionals who devote their time as motivational and keynote speakers, perform Wellness Days, blood pressure checks, spinal screenings and deliver educational workshops at NO CHARGE on health-related topics in their local communities. FWP members are in great demand to speak at corporations, women’s associations, bookstores, health food stores and fitness centers.
Corporate Wellness Programs
Jenkins Chiropractic has instituted successful corporate wellness programs in both small business settings as well as several large corporations. Obesity, tobacco use and stress are the most common hazards to health in the American workforce.
A comprehensive corporate wellness program selects and follows goals for smoking cessation, weight loss and management, and stress reduction set out by Dr. Jenkins and/or the domestic wellness committee. These goals are based on the results of a thorough health screen. The goals provide direction and facilitate the development of activities to promote their achievement.
Prenatal and Chiropractic Care for Children
The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association offers Doctors of Chiropractic the opportunity to receive a Certificate of Proficiency in the Webster Technique. This chiropractic technique helps to correct sacral misalignment, balance pelvic muscles and ligaments which in turn removes torsion to the woman's uterus, its resulting constraint to the baby, and allows the baby to get into the best possible position for birth. Chiropractic care is essential for the pregnant mother. Her systems and organs are now providing for two and their optimal function is critical for the baby's healthy development.
Specific chiropractic care throughout pregnancy works with enhancing nervous system function providing greater health potential for both the mother and baby. Most chiropractors encourage their pregnant patients to be well-informed and deal with the birth process with the least amount of interference possible. We do this because we care about the health of both the mother and the soon-to-be-born baby.
Chiropractic care for children offers your family a solid foundation for wellness. Throughout pregnancy, birth, and childhood, the chiropractic lifestyle offers choices and benefits for your greater health and well-being. Many spinal problems seen in adults began as early as birth. As such, more and more parents are seeking chiropractic care for their children.
