Our goal is to empower you to live a healthier, pain-free life, so you can fully enjoy all that life has to offer.
Chronic illnesses, weight struggles, and the need for rehabilitation can often feel overwhelming. However, with the right guidance, treatment, and support, achieving lasting wellness is possible. At Breakthrough Health Center, we believe in taking a holistic approach to your health and wellness. Here’s how we can help you on your journey toward better health.
Chronic Illness Management: Take Control of Your Health
Chronic illnesses such as diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain can significantly impact your life. These conditions are often long-lasting and require ongoing management. While traditional treatments may focus on symptom relief, at Breakthrough Health Center, we believe in addressing the root cause of your chronic condition to achieve better long-term outcomes.
1. Personalized Treatment Plans
Managing chronic illness begins with a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs. We take the time to assess your condition thoroughly and create a comprehensive care strategy designed to reduce symptoms, improve functionality, and enhance your overall health. Our approach often combines chiropractic care, physical therapy, nutrition counseling, and lifestyle changes to support your healing and recovery.
2. Chiropractic Care for Pain Management
Chiropractic care is a safe and effective treatment for a variety of chronic conditions, particularly those related to the spine, joints, and nervous system. Whether you're dealing with back pain, neck pain, or headaches caused by misalignments, our chiropractic team can provide adjustments that help restore proper alignment, improve nerve function, and reduce pain and inflammation.
3. Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation
For many chronic conditions, physical therapy is a key component of managing symptoms and improving movement. Our skilled physical therapists utilize targeted exercises, manual therapy, and other techniques to help you regain strength, flexibility, and mobility. Whether you're recovering from surgery or managing a condition like arthritis, physical therapy can reduce pain and improve quality of life.
4. Lifestyle Coaching and Stress Management
Managing chronic illness is not just about addressing physical symptoms – it also involves managing emotional and psychological stress. Chronic illness can take a toll on mental health, leading to increased stress, anxiety, and depression. At Breakthrough Health Center, we offer lifestyle coaching and stress management strategies to help you cope with the emotional aspects of living with chronic illness. Techniques such as meditation, mindfulness, and relaxation exercises can be incredibly effective in improving mental well-being and reducing the impact of stress on your health.
Weight Loss: Achieve Sustainable, Long-Term Results
Obesity and weight gain are common contributors to chronic illness, and losing weight can have significant benefits for improving health and managing conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. At Breakthrough Health Center, we offer weight loss programs that are not based on quick fixes, but on sustainable, long-term strategies.
1. Customized Weight Loss Plans
Every person’s body is unique, and weight loss should be personalized to suit your individual needs. We offer customized weight loss plans that include nutrition counseling, exercise recommendations, and lifestyle modifications. Our team works with you to set realistic goals and provide the support you need to achieve them.
2. Nutritional Guidance
Nutrition is the foundation of any successful weight loss plan. Our nutrition experts can help you make healthier food choices, manage portion sizes, and incorporate nutrient-dense foods into your diet. Whether you’re looking to lose weight or manage a chronic condition, the right nutrition plan can play a critical role in your overall wellness.
3. Exercise and Fitness
Incorporating regular physical activity is essential for both weight loss and overall health. Our team will help you create an exercise plan that fits your fitness level and goals. Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to intensify your workout routine, we offer guidance on exercises that support weight loss and improve strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health.
4. Behavioral Support
Weight loss is a journey that requires commitment and motivation. At Breakthrough Health Center, we provide ongoing support to help you stay on track. We offer behavioral coaching to help you overcome emotional eating, address food cravings, and maintain a positive mindset as you work toward your weight loss goals.
Rehabilitation: Recover, Rebuild, and Thrive
Whether you’ve suffered an injury, undergone surgery, or are managing the aftermath of a chronic condition, rehabilitation plays a crucial role in your recovery. At Breakthrough Health Center, our rehabilitation services are designed to help you heal, rebuild strength, and return to the activities you love.
1. Physical Therapy for Injury Recovery
Our physical therapy services are ideal for anyone recovering from an injury or surgery. Through a combination of therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and advanced modalities, we can help you regain range of motion, reduce pain, and strengthen muscles to support long-term recovery. Whether you’re dealing with a sports injury, joint replacement, or muscle strain, our physical therapists can design a personalized rehabilitation program to meet your needs.
2. Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Surgical recovery can be a lengthy process, and post-surgical rehabilitation is essential for a successful recovery. Our team works with you to develop a customized plan that focuses on restoring strength, flexibility, and function. Post-surgical rehabilitation helps reduce the risk of complications, minimizes pain, and accelerates the recovery process.
3. Chiropractic Adjustments for Joint and Spinal Health
For those who’ve experienced joint pain or spinal injuries, chiropractic care can be a vital component of rehabilitation. By addressing misalignments and improving spinal health, chiropractic adjustments can enhance the effectiveness of physical therapy and accelerate recovery. Our chiropractors will work with you to develop a plan that complements your rehabilitation process and helps you recover faster.

June is Alzheimers & Brain Awareness Month
This June during Alzheimers & Brain Awareness Month, the Alzheimers Association is encouraging all Americans to take charge of their brain health. Today, there are more than 7 million Americans living with Alzheimers. Two-thirds of Americans have at least one major potential risk factor for dementia. The brain changes that cause Alzheimers are thought to begin 20 years or more before symptoms start, which suggests that there may be a substantial window of time in which we can intervene in the progression of the disease. Experts believe there isnt a single cause of Alzheimers. Its likely the disease develops as a result of multiple factors. While not a direct cause of Alzheimers, the greatest known risk factor is advancing age. Although some risk factors like age cant be changed, as many as 45% of dementia cases may be attributable to modifiable risk factors, such as high blood pressure and lack of physical activity. Research shows that adopting healthy behaviors like getting exercise and good quality sleep can improve your brain health and reduce the risk of cognitive decline. Based on mounting scientific evidence, the Alzheimers Association encourages individuals to incorporate these 10 Healthy Habits such as challenging your mind and eating healthier foods to help protect brain health. Be Proactive in Addressing Brain Changes Only half of those with Alzheimers disease ever receive a diagnosis, delaying needed care and potentially putting them at risk. Another important way to take charge of your health is to know the early warning signs of Alzheimers and other dementia and be proactive in addressing them. Early detection and diagnosis of Alzheimers is more important than ever. Early detection offers significant benefits for the person diagnosed and their loved ones, including greater access to treatment options and the ability to plan for the future. There are now treatments that can slow disease progression for people in the early stage of Alzheimers, making a timely diagnosis critically important. If you or someone you know is experiencing memory or thinking problems, its important to get it checked. Talk to your doctor so you can make an informed decision on available treatments to determine if they are right for you. Join the Fight to End Alzheimers During Alzheimers & Brain Awareness Month, the Alzheimers Association invites everyone to join us in the fight to end Alzheimers and all other dementia. Heres what you can do: Adopt the 10 Healthy Habits: It is never too early or too late to start taking positive actions for your brain. Visit alz.org/healthyhabits to learn more!
