Chiropractic Adjustments:
We provide precise spinal and extremity adjustments to help restore joint function, reduce nerve irritation, and promote better alignment and mobility. A chiropractic adjustment refers to a chiropractor applying manipulation to the vertebrae that have abnormal movement patterns or fail to function normally.

Animal Chiropractic is a field of animal health care that focuses on the preservation and health of the neuro-musculo-skeletal system. Why? Nerves control everything that happens in your animals. Anything adversely affecting the nervous system will have detrimental effects that will resonate throughout the entire body. When normal movement is affected, and left unattended, it will ultimately impact your animal’s entire wellbeing and quality of life. The nervous system also coordinates the body’s ability to heal and regulate itself.

The goal of an animal chiropractor is to restore function and mobility to the compromised vertebra in an effort to re-establish neurologic transmissions. This allows the body to perform at its optimum potential. These doctors use their hands to identify areas of restriction; and once identified, the animal chiropractor applies a precise thrust on the immobile anatomical structures. This treatment restores the normal motion of the vertebra thus removing neurological interference. When the nerves can efficiently communicate with all the structures in your animals’ bodies, they will begin to heal from within. Animal Chiropractic is not meant to replace traditional veterinary care. It is not an alternative treatment, but rather an integrative method that when used in conjunction with good traditional veterinary care, will provide years of happy and healthy living.

Dry Needling at Southern Touch Healthcare 💥💆‍♀️
Target the pain. Unlock the tension. Feel the release.

If you’ve been struggling with tight muscles, nagging knots, or stubborn pain that just won’t quit—dry needling might be the game-changer you need. This powerful, precise technique uses thin, solid filiform needles to target muscular trigger points and deep tissue tension—rebooting the body from the inside out.

Whether you're recovering from a sports injury, managing chronic tension, or dealing with that “I slept wrong” neck cramp, dry needling helps reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore function.

⚡ Common reasons patients love dry needling:
~Persistent muscle tightness
~Tension headaches or jaw clenching
~Back, neck, hip, or shoulder pain
~Limited range of motion
~Post-workout recovery
~Old injuries that flare up during stress

Appointments & Scheduling Notes:
*Appointments are highly recommended and preferred—especially for dry needling sessions, which require extended time and focus.
🚶‍♀️ Walk-ins are welcome when possible, but please understand this is a solo-practitioner office, and you may be asked to wait or leave a note at the desk to schedule.

Dry needling is a specialized treatment technique designed to target muscle tightness, trigger points, and dysfunctional movement patterns. Using fine, sterile needles, this approach helps release tension, improve blood flow, and reset neuromuscular function, promoting pain relief and enhanced mobility.

When combined with chiropractic care, dry needling can be a powerful tool in addressing musculoskeletal issues. Chiropractic adjustments help restore joint alignment and improve nervous system function, while dry needling works to release deep muscle restrictions that may be limiting movement or causing discomfort. Together, these treatments support the body’s natural healing process, reduce pain, and improve overall function—helping patients move, feel, and perform at their best. Dry needling is always performed by Dr. Donna Lewis, D.C. within the legal scope of chiropractic care in Florida and as part of a tailored neuromusculoskeletal treatment plan.
