Can I see a chiropractor for shoulder impingement?
To address shoulder conditions, there needs to be a better understanding of your specific case. A new patient process includes a patient intake, consultation, and physical examination to further understand the potential root cause of this type of condition or injury. With pain, x-rays and MRIs may be warranted to assess the extent of the condition or injury. This will help understand the length of time for care. There are certain exams during the new patient process that are performed to understand the severity. Some positive exams may warrant you to be referred to the emergency room, urgent care, neurologist, MD, DO, or orthopedist. If no referral is needed, diagnostic imaging may be warranted as further examination (as stated above). If those above paths are not needed then addressing the condition with chiropractic care may be palliative in the alleviation of these imbalances creating dysfunction in the body. There are various techniques in chiropractic. Throughout an active phase of care, it will be determined if the patient is responding favorably to certain techniques. If favorable, most pain cases range from 2-3x/wk for 2-4 wks to begin. Then a re-exam will be performed to give a better understanding of how many visits are needed from there. In total, it may take 10-18 visits to see a substantial change or potential full resolution. The neck is highly correlated to the shoulder, therefore focusing on the neck and upper back to mid back may be helpful in your case. Once I understand the patient's posture, spinal patterns, biomechanics, and lifestyle ergonomics, and how they respond to chiropractic care throughout multiple visits will guide me to determine what's next after the first phase of care. The techniques I utilize to aid in assessing where to adjust and how to adjust. Each adjustment shall be different, and each location shall change. The nervous system consists of patterning. Assessing and recording the adjustment locations each visit will guide me to understand "stuck" patterns or habitual patterns that may be playing into the imbalances/conditions you're experiencing. For shoulder conditions, lifestyle and ergonomics will play a major role and may need modifications as well. I look forward to helping in the future! READ MORE

When should you stop chiropractic treatment?
To determine when an individual stops care with chiropractic is usually determined by the patient, the doctor, or both. Ideally, it's important to follow through with the doctors recommendations of care for the main reasoning of seeking treatment. Sometimes patient's will stop or pause care when they feel better however, this may not be beneficial long term. The nervous system is about 80% function and 20% feeling, therefore if it was decided to stop care after a change of feeling was occurring then this may give the patient or yourself a false path to health and healing. Wellness care in chiropractic is well known for ongoing patients that see results. Wellness can range from 1x/wk to 1x/quarter depending on the patient's case. Please let me know if you have any other questions. READ MORE

Get to know Chiropractor Dr. Lianna Hunt, who serves patients in Encinitas, California.
California’s Concierge Chiropractor and Health Expert, Dr. Hunt, provides for individuals and families through comprehensive spinal care and healing services. Her private chiropractic practice, The Hunt Chiropractic Wellness Corporation, is located in Encinitas, California and encompasses a space for health, wellbeing, and healing through nervous system-based and energetically-focused techniques.
Dr. Hunt’s health journey began at the young age of 16, spurred by the onset of a medical condition that prompted her and her family to explore conventional avenues for restoring her well-being. Before this, her passion and love for movement of the body started even younger as a gymnast and dancer.
As she progressed from her teenage years through her educational pursuits, including a Bachelor of Science Degree from Iowa State University in 2015, Dr. Hunt developed a deep appreciation for the effectiveness of natural health and healing modalites.
It was during this period that she found her calling in chiropractic care, driven by a strong desire to assist others on their path to wellness and wholeness. Her academic journey, which encompassed the intricate study of the spine, the nervous system, and the human body, provided her with a profound understanding of these subjects. This newfound knowledge became the cornerstone of her professional approach, characterized by an unwavering passion, dedication, and inspirational guidance for her patients and clients.
Her expertise expanded to include neurology, nutrition, perinatal care, pediatrics, and reiki, seamlessly intertwining with her academic pursuits and practice. Dr. Hunt eventually graduated with her Doctor of Chiropractic Degree from Logan University in 2019, further solidifying her commitment to promoting health and well-being in those she serves.
Chiropractic is a form of holistic medicine that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments and other techniques to manage patients’ health concerns, including neck pain, back pain, headaches, vertigo and a long list of other ailments and conditions. They aim to improve patients’ functionality and quality of life by properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure and enabling the body to heal itself naturally, without the use of medication or surgery.
Taking on multiple roles as a proactive contributor in the realm of holistic health and personal growth, Dr. Hunt produces and hosts The Nervous System Health Level 1 Webinar and Level 2 Virtual Engagements through The Nervous System Health Virtual Experience. She also curates insightful content through her podcast, Harmonic Expressions, of which the revenue from ads are donated to a chosen local charity.
Furthermore, Dr. Hunt is the visionary and Founder of The Pure Place, a space committed to humanity’s evolution and healing.
During her off time, she is passionate about embracing the great outdoors and often finds solace in activities like hiking. Her cherished moments are those spent with family and loved ones, where she can share her love for cooking, baking, and explore the world of literature through reading and writing. Her quest for personal enrichment extends to her curiosity and enthusiasm for acquiring new hobbies, such as surfing.
