Office Safety
Masks are required in the office. If you forget your mask, we have them available. When you are face down on the chiropractic table you can pull your mask down to be more comfortable. Appointment times are spread out so you will not have to share the waiting room, and in most cases, will not have to wait at all. All equipment and surfaces are cleaned after each patient. Air circulation in the office has been increased using the AC fan set to "ON" instead of "AUTO" and a window exhaust fan is at the head of the chiropractic table. Temperature checks are required for new patients. If you have symptoms or have been exposed to COVID-19 please text Dr. Kelley with the details.
Making the most of it
Although we grieve the loss of a way of life, I believe there is an opportunity here. We remember to bring our mask. We are aware of what we are touching. We are careful about cleanliness. These are all very effective mindfulness exercises. Mindfulness is a form of meditation. It brings us into the moment. It calms our nervous system....if we have the right mindset.
Anger and frustration are understandable but not helpful. We can't turn back the clock. We have to pull up our big girl pants and move forward in the most productive way possible.
Fear is understandable but not healthy. When I feel fear about the uncertainty we face, I throw myself into faith and trust. Faith, trust, gratitude, respect, love; there are lots of safe emotional harbors to choose from.
We express respect and concern for others by wearing a mask. We greet each other behind our masks with smiling eyes. We express gratitude that you are willing to wear a mask for me. Eye to eye we make human connection. Maybe we appreciate that connection more than ever now.
I look forward to seeing your beautiful eyes in the office. Love, Dr. Kelley

Cox Disc Decompression
Cox Decompression Table

Cox Flexion/Distraction is a gentle stretch of the spine (decompression) to create slight vacuum in the spine which pulls fluid and nutrition into the discs and joints. After an injured disc is healed, decompression is an excellent to keep the disc healthy and prevent re-injury.
Arthritis in the spine is called "Degenerative Disc Disease". A lifetime of gravity makes discs dehydrated and flat. Over time the discs stop supporting your body and your weight shifts from the discs to the joints of the spine. This causes pain while standing for a long period or when you first get up in the morning. Cox decompress is an excellent way to restore motion and relieve the pain spinal arthritis!
