Meridian Chiropractic Clinic

As a doctor of chiropractic medicine, Dr. Yoder is a specialist in spinal musculoskeletal disorders. He is expertly trained to diagnose and treat the many musculoskeletal injuries that may occur on the job or in your daily life. Upon injury, an individual often alters the normal position or flexibility of the spinal vertebrae.

After a serious injury or even from an issue of chronic pain, all you want is for the pain to go away. Rehabilitation helps solve those problems that have resulted from injuries, chronic issues, or even just wanting to do light exercise without getting winded. A chiropractor can work with you to determine realistic short- and long-term goals.

Your spine is made up of 24 moveable bones called vertebra. These vertebra protect your spinal cord. The tissues surrounding the vertebra are interwoven with nerve tissue. If these vertebra are not moving right they can cause painful symptoms imposed on delicate nerve tissue. Pain is your body's alarm system.

There are many types and causes of headaches. Regardless of the cause, if you have a headache, you want to go away fast! Headaches may be common, but they're not normal. No pain is normal. Pain is your body's way of telling you something is wrong. Powerful drugs can numb your body and make you forget there was a reason you felt pain.

The term "herniated disc" has been called many things from a slipped disc to a bulging disc. For a doctor who specializes in disc problems, the term is critical because it tells him/her how to create a prognosis and subsequent treatment plan for a patient. To clarify the disc issue, a herniated disc is where a disc tears and the internal material of the disc, called the nucleus pulposis, extends through that tear.
