You know that chiropractors treat issues involving the back and neck, but chiropractic is not just for the spine. Sometimes the pain you’re experiencing originates elsewhere in the body. Think about shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, TMJ pain, carpal tunnel issues, or plantar fasciitis. A certified chiropractic extremity practitioner can ease pain and reduce inflammation without surgery or drugs.

Good news! Also known as Flexible Spending Accounts, HSA’s will most often cover chiropractic care and massage therapy. These accounts are often offered by employers as a supplement to a high deductible health insurance plan. This gives the patient the ability to pay for alternative care, such as chiropractic and massage.
Some HSA’s require a doctor’s referral or have limits as to what the funds can be used for. Check with your HSA provider before booking your appointment. In most cases, however, it’s as simple as swiping your card, as you would for normal payment.
Really. It can be that easy!
We’re happy to be participating in the Toys For Kids program again this year! Toys for Kids of Vermont is a volunteer program sponsored by the Vermont Marine Corps League which collects new, unwrapped toys during the Christmas season and oversees their distribution to needy children in Vermont. All money collected stays in Vermont and is used to purchase age appropriate toys to supplement donations, and for older children.
We’ll be collecting toys through December 20th. Simply bring a new, unwrapped toy to our office and we’ll take care of the rest! Cash and gift card donations are also welcome. Toys for Kids is 100% volunteer run, and your gift is guaranteed to go to a Vermont kid in need.

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that was developed to restore balance and function to the pelvis. The practice is recommended throughout pregnancy to facilitate the mother’s pelvic alignment and nervous system function, improving the likelihood that the baby will be positioned better and that the pregnancy will be more comfortable.
We’re excited for the 2017 race season in Vermont! Runners are beginning their preparations for all the 5Ks, 10Ks, half-marathons and triathlons that are coming up in the area, and we’re preparing to once again offer pre- and post-race stretching to participants. It’s a great time to begin chiropractic care to help you move well and feel strong as you’re training, too.
We love being part of these races and supporting the organizations that set them up, particularly RaceVermont and Essex Junction Recreation and Parks. Not only are these races a lot of fun, they raise hundreds of dollars for important causes.Read More
We wanted to give you an update on some of the goings-on here at Summit Chiropractic Center.
If you have kids, or have ever been even just around a baby, then you can understand how important a good night’s sleep is…for both the baby and the parents. Having to take care of a cranky baby can be one of the most exhausting things that a parent can experience. A lack of sleep can have a profound effect on an entire family’s health and well-being.
Did you know that the average person takes around 8,000 steps per day?
Knowing this makes it easy to see how 75% of Americans will complain of foot pain at some point in their lives.
Plantar fasciitis is a common type of foot pain that responds very well to chiropractic.
