Between swimming, figuring skating and martial arts, Alexis Roberts—a 16-year-old homeschooled student— is no stranger to sports-related injuries.
“I am always getting injured, so I needed the help,” she said. “We found out about Logan University Health Centers after my mom received an email about their services.”
Since then, chiropractic care has become a reliable source of support for Alexis. Ashley Vogt, DC (’07), a clinician at Logan’s Montgomery Health Center, sees Alexis one to two times a week to help her alleviate pain, improve mobility and restore proper alignment and function to her musculoskeletal system.
“Chiropractic care has helped my whole body feel and move better,” Alexis said. “I’ve never had a bad experience at Logan—everyone is always amazing.”
Visits to Logan’s health centers aren’t just about fixing one issue or injury: it’s about looking at the whole body and making sure everything is aligning to ensure maximum performance. Whether it’s a specific injury or general body maintenance, chiropractic care can help improve the lives of people of all ages.
“I really enjoy coming to the health center because I always feel like I am in good hands and if I need other things while I’m there, they can always help,” Alexis said.
This October, during National Chiropractic Health Month (NCHM), chiropractors nationwide are sharing information on the importance of maintaining a strong and healthy musculoskeletal (MSK) system as we age. As experts in MSK health, chiropractors provide a non-drug, evidence-based and patient-centered approach to treating common MSK conditions such as neck pain, joint pain and back pain (the single leading cause of disability worldwide).
Check back throughout NCHM and hear from real Logan University Health Center patients on how they plan for a #StrongHealthspan!
