Good nutrition is an essential part of achieving wellness. Our bodies cannot be healthy without the right nutrients. Dr. Janet Lang, our Abington chiropractor, believes in a comprehensive approach to wellness. Instead of medication or other prescribed treatments, she believes natural, homeopathic remedies may work as well, or better.

Our treatments naturally complement each other to help patients build a strong healthy body. Even if you have healed from injury or pain, our wellness services, which include weight loss counseling, nutritional counseling, personal training, massage therapy and chiropractic care, can help you achieve optimal health for your body and help prevent future injury or illness.

Wellness Center Offers Nutritional Counseling

Eating healthfully is an important part of good nutrition. One of the ways you can eat healthier is to stay away from processed and packaged foods. This has become more difficult with our busy lifestyles, but it is extremely important for our bodies to consume whole foods instead of food that is filled with preservatives and empty calories. Whole grains, fresh vegetables and fruits, along with dairy and lean meats, will help us achieve a well-balanced diet.

Nutrition experts recommend eating larger portions of grains and vegetables while complementing your meal with lean meats, dairy and fruit. Carbohydrates are not the villain if you eat the right kind of carbs. Whole grains, nuts and some vegetables contain carbohydrates that are good for your body and help produce energy. The old adage “all things in moderation” holds true when it comes to eating right. So the next time you feel like a crunchy snack, instead of reaching for a bag of chips, grab a handful of raw almonds and satisfy your appetite with a wholesome, more filling snack.

Exercise is another essential tool for health and nutrition. Regular exercise like Pilates, aerobic and strength training can assist you in giving your body what it needs to sustain and maintain a healthy weight and shape. These types of exercises will also help our bodies stay balanced and strong. By combining nutritional eating and exercise, we will be well on our way to achieving total wellness and living a vigorous lifestyle.

We offer nutritional counseling, weight management services and personal training. Our chiropractor and her staff will tailor a wellness care plan to suit your individual needs. Your health plan will be equipped with a nutritional meal plan, suggested nutritional supplements and a prescribed exercise routine. As a part of our nutritional counseling services, we offer metabolic analysis testing so that we can see what nutrients your body is lacking and suggest supplements or homeopathic remedies that will satisfy your body’s needs. Dr. Lang and her staff at Lang Chiropractic Wellness and Spa are dedicated to helping patients become healthy and pain-free.

Lang Chiropractic and Wellness Spa

Our chiropractic services are available for local residents as well as those who live in the surrounding areas of Glenside, Meadowbrook, Roslyn and the greater Eastern Montgomery County region. Whether you have bodily pain due to injuries, chronic conditions, or simply due to overuse, our chiropractic adjustments, rehab therapy, or therapeutic massage services will help you recover “whole body wellness” so you can more fully enjoy your life.

Massage Therapy

Perhaps one of the oldest forms of therapy, massage provides pain relief, stress reduction, and mood elevation.  Massage accomplishes this “trifecta” through prompting physiological changes in your body.  Decreases in heart and breathing rates, as well as lowered cortisol levels – known as the “stress” hormone - result in increased endorphin levels, or the “feel good” hormone.

In addition, muscle massage flushes toxins and lactic acid, and improves the ability of fresh, oxygenated blood to flow more freely throughout your body. This combination of effects helps your body heal faster and prompts an overall improved sense of wellness.

Our chiropractor offers various types of massage to address different needs.  For instance, Swedish massage enhances circulation and relieves tension with light to moderate strokes, while shiatsu massage combines stretching, gliding movements with acupuncture and aromatherapy for relaxation and stress management.  Deep tissue or trigger point massage treats severe muscle tension, while pregnancy massage offers much needed and welcome relief from pain and strain through relaxation and revitalization.

What kind of muscular pain or injuries do you have that could benefit from our therapeutic massage services?  What type of massages have helped you in the past?
