Corrective Exercises, Lifestyle Advice & Nutritional Counceling

Supporting Your Health Beyond the Adjustment

At TruAxis Chiropractic and Wellness, we take a whole-body approach to healing and long-term wellness. In addition to chiropractic adjustments, we offer supportive services designed to enhance your results, improve function, and empower you to take control of your health.

Movement is medicine. We provide customized at-home and in-office exercises designed to strengthen weak muscles, improve posture, and support spinal stability. These targeted movements help restore proper alignment, improve balance, and reduce the likelihood of future injuries—especially after auto accidents, repetitive strain, or chronic postural habits.

Your daily habits play a major role in your healing and overall well-being. We offer personalized lifestyle recommendations based on your condition, goals, and stressors—whether it’s adjusting your workstation ergonomics, improving sleep posture, managing screen time, or integrating movement into a busy routine. Small changes can lead to lasting improvements in function, energy, and comfort.

The food you eat fuels your body’s ability to heal and perform. We provide guidance on anti-inflammatory nutrition, hydration, supplementation, and healthy eating habits tailored to support your specific needs—whether you’re recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or optimizing athletic performance. Our goal is to help you nourish your body from the inside out.

Auto-Accidents or Personal Injury

Don’t Let a Car Accident Derail Your Life

If you’ve been injured in a car accident, slip and fall, or other personal injury incident, TruAxis Chiropractic and Wellness is here to help you heal safely and effectively. During your personal injury visit, Dr. Kent will conduct a detailed evaluation to assess the extent of your injuries and identify any underlying musculoskeletal damage that may not be immediately apparent.

We focus on reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and restoring proper function using non-invasive, evidence-based chiropractic care. Treatment may include gentle spinal adjustments, myofascial release, decompression therapy, and other modalities tailored to your condition.

We work closely with attorneys, insurance companies, and medical providers to ensure accurate documentation and coordinated care throughout your recovery process. Our goal is to help you recover fully, avoid long-term complications, and return to your normal activities as quickly and safely as possible.
