At Apex Chiropractic and Wellness in Carmel, Indiana, we understand that pain can present itself in many forms, whether it’s sudden and severe or persistent and long-term. Acute conditions, such as injuries from sports, falls, or accidents, often require immediate care to address inflammation, pain, and restricted movement. On the other hand, chronic conditions, including ongoing back pain, neck pain, or migraines, develop over time and require a deeper, corrective approach to resolve the underlying issues.

Dr. Sean Ellingworth specializes in Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP), an advanced, scientifically-backed methodology that focuses on addressing both acute and chronic conditions. Our goal is not just to alleviate symptoms but to tackle the root causes of discomfort, enabling our patients to enjoy long-lasting relief and improved quality of life.

Our Approach to Pain Relief

Acute pain is typically the result of a specific incident, such as lifting a heavy object incorrectly, slipping on a wet surface, or enduring a car accident. These types of injuries can cause swelling, muscle tightness, and limited mobility, interfering with your ability to carry out daily activities. Left untreated, acute pain can worsen and evolve into chronic conditions.

At Apex Chiropractic and Wellness, we approach acute pain with urgency and precision. Using advanced diagnostic tools such as PostureScreen, range-of-motion analysis, and X-rays, we accurately identify the affected areas. Our care plans often include gentle chiropractic adjustments, targeted muscle stimulation, and intersegmental traction therapy to reduce inflammation, restore mobility, and accelerate recovery.

Correction is Critical

Chronic pain is often the result of untreated injuries, poor posture, or repetitive stress. Conditions such as degenerative disc disease, forward head posture, or long-term migraines can severely impact your quality of life. These issues are not just painful—they are also a sign of deeper structural problems within the spine and nervous system.

Dr. Ellingworth employs the world renowned CBP technique to realign the spine and improve its overall function. Our chronic care plans include corrective chiropractic adjustments, traction, decompression, as well as personalized rehabilitation exercises and lifestyle modifications to address the root causes of your pain. Over time, this approach not only reduces discomfort but also prevents future flare-ups by strengthening your body’s natural support systems.
