Services
Dr. Murphy has always had a passion for chiropractic care and alternative medicine. Candidly, there's nothing she loves more than to research ways to help her patients feel better through chiropractc care that extend beyond treating lower back and neck injuries.
At the Island Spine Center we treat more than migraine headaches and back, neck and extremity injuries. Dr. Murphy works on the site of your pain to provide whole body treatments that alleviate injury issues and ailments that may not typically be associated with chiropractic care, like colic in children. We believe that periodic, full-spine chiropractic adjustments, even when you are not suffering from an injury, allows the neuromuscular system to function at its best and improves your overall health and wellness.
Our practice provides chiropractic services for adults, children, and infants.
Our Approach to Chiropractic Care
EVALUATE
We listen to your symptoms, ask how the injury or when pain happened, and do extra research to help find out how chiropractic care can help.
This allows us to create a personalized chiropractic treatment that alleviates your pain and addresses your injury.
ELIMINATE
Our goal is to alleviate your pain. Often what hurts in one area may be triggered by a misalignment in another part of the body. We provide full-spine and targeted treatments, including soft tissue work. Dr. Murphy puts the power back into her patients’ hands by including stretches and exercises that can be done at home to augment our treatment.
ELATED PATIENTS
Our personalized treatments have helped patients return to their construction, landscaping, and restaurant jobs, as well as rejoin their favorite activities, exercise classes, and team sports. Our patients feel better, regain their optimal mobility, and experience fewer instances of intense pain.
