Meridian Chiropractor Launches New Website

Ellison Chiropractic has launched a redesigned website to better educate patients about the benefits of chiropractic care. The website is designed to enhance the practice's mission of empowering patients with wellness care knowledge and expanding access to non-invasive pain relief. Chiropractor Dr. Craig Ellison has been practicing for over 20 years. He uses a variety of gentle, instrument adjustments as well as supportive treatments like massage therapy.

Eagle, Meridian and Boise patients have a new resource for learning about non-invasive pain relief. Meridian chiropractor Dr. Craig Ellison announced the launch of his practice's new website, http://www.ellisonchiropractic.com.

"As a chiropractor, my goal is to educate patients about the benefits of natural pain relief," said Dr. Ellison. "Many individuals do not realize that there are real alternatives to prescription painkillers. Non-invasive treatments like chiropractic adjustments and massage therapy give the body the tools it needs to repair itself. Our new website provides a valuable resource for learning more about how natural treatments work."

The website includes a 'Community Content' wellness library, featuring articles on wellness care, back and neck pain relief, and the science behind chiropractic treatments. The library also discusses information about the importance of maintaining healthy weight loss goals, the different factors that may cause weight loss or gain and how body weight can affect posture, back pain and other spinal conditions. Articles are designed to empower patients by teaching them wellness care skills. These skills can enhance overall well being and improve total health.

Individuals can also use the website's 3D Spine Simulator to better visualize how chiropractic adjustments work. "When the spine is out of alignment, the entire nervous system is compromised," said Dr. Ellison. "The 3D Spine Simulator is an exciting new resource that shows our patients exactly how a single herniated disc can affect the nervous system. This resource helps patients better understand why they are in pain -- and why it is so important to treat the underlying cause for this pain, rather than 'covering it up' with medication."

The website also includes information on pediatric care and pregnancy care. Chiropractic treatments are safe for individuals of all ages, and can be especially beneficial for young children following a painful birth.

"If the birth is difficult, pressure on the cervical spine can cause a misalignment, leading to pain," said Dr. Ellison. "Many parents don't realize that gentle adjustments can make a tremendous difference for a child's health, helping babies with colic and even acute earaches in children. Our new website is a great resource for parents seeking trusted, reliable information on the benefits of pediatric care."

Dr. Ellison also encourages expectant mothers to receive adjustments and massage therapy. According to Dr. Ellison, these treatments can relieve pelvic pain, help the body better adjust to carrying a child, and help prepare the body for birth. Individuals can learn more about these benefits, and how expectant mothers can safely receive treatment, in the 'Community Content' library.

Prospective patients can learn more about what to expect during the first visit by going to the website's "New Patient Center." This resource center also includes information on payment options, insurance plans and online forms.

Individuals who wish to schedule an appointment with the Meridian chiropractor, Dr. Ellison, may do so by visiting the website and filling out the online form or by contacting the Eagle office at 884-8848 on the corner of Chinden and Meridian Rd.
