 Why We Are Different
We approach care holistically, trying to heal the body naturally by taking away the stress and strain pulling you out of alignment and treating injuries so the body can be assisted in it’s natural healing process.

Here are some of the popular treatments we often prefer and promote in Port Saint Lucie due to the non-invasive nature and tremendous results we see for patients in Port St. Lucie.

Chiropractic Care

We of course perform chiropractic care and manual adjustments at Living Waters Wellness in PSL.

Chiropractic care is a holistic, therapeutic treatment focused on the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine, to realign and rejuvenate the body. It aims to reduce pain and discomfort by correcting misalignments that can disrupt the nervous system’s function. A manual adjustment, also known as spinal manipulation, involves one of our licensed chiropractors using their hands or special instruments to manipulate joints, to realign the spine and improve joint function.

Before a manual adjustment, we first assesses the patient’s spine to identify areas of misalignment or dysfunction. We then choose the most suitable technique for the adjustment and apply controlled, gentle force to correct alignment and move on to other treatments and methods if necessary. This type of non-invasive, drug-free treatment can help ease problems such as muscle spasms, headaches, neck pain, back pain, herniated discs, sciatica, and difficulty sleeping.

What is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care focuses on the relationship between the spine and the nervous system. The brain connects to the body through the spinal cord, which travels down the center of your spine. Branching off the spinal cord are spinal nerves that reach every cell, tissue, muscle, and organ in your body.
 
Chiropractic care is patient-centered and non-invasive. It is a hands-on health care technique focused on the spine, muscles, joints, and nervous system. Chiropractors use the best available evidence and clinical expertise to diagnose issues that affect your body’s movement and treat them without medication or surgery, aiming to prevent them from returning.
 
A core tenant of chiropractic care is the belief that unless irreparably damaged, the body has the ability to heal itself when given proper support and treatment.
 
Key Points:
• Spinal Column Adjustments: By gently adjusting the vertebrae of the spine, chiropractors help restore proper alignment and mobility.
• Nervous System Support: When the spine is in good alignment, it can reduce stress or irritation on the nerves. This helps the body communicate more effectively, which may lead to better overall health.
• Pain Relief & Improved Function: Chiropractic adjustments are known to help relieve pain, improve flexibility, and enhance mobility.
• Immune System Connection: Many patients find that getting a chiropractic adjustment at the first sign of illness can stimulate the immune system, because the nervous system influences immune function.

 

Patient Perspective: Dr. Schoch’s Story

Dr. Schoch’s personal journey into chiropractic care began as a teenager who was active in sports (baseball, soccer, and basketball) and struggled with asthma. He needed a rescue inhaler on hand most of the time. However, after his sister started working for a chiropractor, he became a patient at that clinic.
 
What Happened Next:
• Dr. Brett soon realized how spinal adjustments can positively impact the nerves leading to the lungs.
• After regular adjustments, Dr. Schoch noticed he could breathe more easily and relied on his inhaler far less.
 
This firsthand experience with how chiropractic care helped his breathing inspired him to pursue a life-long passion for chiropractic and natural health.
 

Living Waters Wellness Chiropractic Approach

At Living Waters Wellness, we view chiropractic care as the “foundational spoke” in our wheel of wellness. While our office offers many types of therapies – decompression, laser therapy, and shockwave – chiropractic care remains at the heart of everything we do.
 

Why Chiropractic First?

• Holistic Foundation: No matter which therapy a patient comes in for, we typically recommend including a chiropractic adjustment to the spine or extremities. This helps ensure the nervous system is functioning optimally.
• Comprehensive Care: By addressing spinal alignment first, other therapies can be even more effective—supporting pain relief, improved mobility, and accelerated healing.
• Individualized Plans: We tailor each treatment plan to the patient’s unique needs, but chiropractic care is almost always a key component due to its broad positive impact on the body.
 

Benefits of Chiropractic at Living Waters Wellness

1. Pain Relief and Mobility
• Alleviates discomfort in the back, neck, arms, legs, and joints.
• Improves range of motion, making everyday activities easier.
2. Boosted Immune System
• Enhances communication between the nervous and immune systems.
• Encourages the body’s natural defense mechanisms, especially beneficial when feeling run down.
3. Enhanced Sports Performance
• Helps athletes of all ages (like Dr. Schoch during his teen years) perform better by improving alignment and breathing capacity.
4. Reduced Dependency on Medication
• Many patients find they can rely less on rescue inhalers, pain relievers, or other medications after regular chiropractic adjustments.
5. Whole-Body Wellness
• Aligning the spine can positively influence the function of organs, muscles, and nerves throughout the body.
 
Why Choose Living Waters Wellness?
• Experienced Care: Dr. Schoch and our team have firsthand experience with the life-changing effects of chiropractic.
• Patient Education: We empower our patients by explaining how the spinal column and nervous system interact with overall health.
• Holistic Approach: We aim to address the root cause of issues, rather than just manage symptoms.
• Personalized Treatment: Every individual is unique, and our care plans reflect that.
 
Final Thoughts on Chiropractic
Chiropractic care is more than just “cracking or popping your back.” It is a way to help the body function at its best by focusing on the health of the spine and nervous system. At Living Waters Wellness, this approach forms the core of our services.
 
Whether you’re coming in for decompression therapy, laser treatments, shockwave therapy, massage, or simply seeking relief from pain, we believe chiropractic adjustments are essential for maximizing overall health, function, and well-being due to our experience and patient results we consistently see over time.

 

Chiropractic – Tying in to Other Treatment Methods

Physical Therapy & Exercise
Great for strengthening muscles and improving flexibility, but it doesn’t specifically relieve disc or nerve compression like decompression therapy can. While building strength is important for overall spinal health, it often isn’t enough to address the root cause if a disc is pressing on a nerve of a patient in Port Saint Lucie..

Medications & Injections
These can temporarily mask pain or reduce inflammation, but they don’t address the underlying problem—disc pressure on a nerve. More importantly, repeated injections (especially steroid-based) can actually accelerate soft tissue deterioration, which over time can make the condition worse. This ongoing breakdown often leads to more invasive treatments, including surgery.

Surgery
Surgery is usually considered a last resort due to its invasiveness, extended recovery time, and potential complications, such as scar tissue or nerve damage. Our goal is to help you avoid these risks by using decompression to correct the root cause and reduce the need for surgical intervention.

Ultimately, our Port Saint Lucie clinic’s DOC spinal decompression table’s combination of comfort, customizability, and precision ensures we are focusing on the underlying issue—reducing disc and nerve pressure—rather than just masking symptoms. This approach helps many of our patients not only feel better faster, but often stay better in the long run.”
