Omaha, Nebraska Chiropractor - Metzler Chiropractic - Chiropractic & Wellness Services

Chiropractic & Wellness Services

Metzler Chiropractic Clinic is not your average Omaha Chirpopractic Clinic, and Dr. Metzler is not your average Omaha Chiropractor. He combines chiropractic care with wellness services, providing his patients with a more complete chiropractic approach. Whether you come into our office for wellness care, or with concerns about a symptom, we are here to optimize your overall health and performance. Our services include:

Chiropractic Adjustment

Chiropractic is the leading alternate health care field which focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders and the nervous system. The primary goal is to restore normal joint motion to areas that are restricted. This helps relieve pain, relaxes tight muscles or spasms, frees up scar tissue, restores joint function and improves the nervous system by manipulating both the spine and extremity regions. Chiropractic care is also safe for infants, kids and pregnancy. Dr. Metzler is trained in gentle chiropractic manipulative techniques including Diversified, Flexion/Distraction, Thompson Drop, Activator, and Extremity adjustments.

Graston® Technique

Graston® Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization is a form of manual therapy designed to treat soft tissue problems. As a certified Graston provider, Dr. Metzler uses this technique to effectively treat new injuries as well as persistent, nagging injuries. One of the most exciting aspects of this treatment is the significant improvement that occurs even in cases where other treatments or more traditional therapies have failed. Graston® Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (GISTM) is a soft-tissue treatment that utilizes stainless steel instruments to comb over and “catch” areas of fibrous scar tissue. After these areas have been detected, the instruments are used to break up the scar tissue so it can be absorbed by the body, heal properly while providing pain relief and improving function. This technique is extremely helpful for post-surgical pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and plantar fasciitis. To learn more, visit www.grastontechnique.com.

Corrective Exercises

Dr. Metzler takes chiropractic care one step further than most. He prescribes his patients exercises designed specifically for their needs to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of their own home and can improve the effectiveness of their spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help the body stay in balance and healthy in order to help hold the positive adjustments and corrections performed.

Lifestyle Changes :: Wellness

We are faced everyday lifestyle choices that effect our overall wellness Some of these lifestyle choices are obvious; however, there are other choices that are not so obvious - proper ergonomics in the office to help reduce neck and back pain, or specific stretches that target certain muscle groups to help reduce spasms and pain. We are committed to assisting you in your journey towards optimum health and performance by recommending positive and effective lifestyle choices.

One of our goals at Metzler Chiropractic Clinic in Omaha is to help each patient reach their optimal health. We will recommend changes in diet, posture, and your home and office work station, as well as provide you with ways to decrease your everyday stress and meet your wellness goals. Dr. Metzler is here to help you become the best of your ability in all aspects of your health.
