Integrative approach advantage at Grand Oak Healthcare

June 24, 2024

At Grand Oak Healthcare, we are dedicated to revolutionizing healthcare through an integrative approach that combines advanced medical treatments with holistic therapies. This synergistic method not only treats symptoms but also addresses underlying causes, fostering comprehensive healing and long-term well-being.


Our array of services includes a spectrum of medical treatments such as trigger point injections, joint injections, back braces, and targeted medications. These interventions are complemented by chiropractic care, spinal decompression traction, rehabilitative exercises, and therapeutic massage therapy. Each element of our approach is meticulously tailored to meet the individual needs of our patients, ensuring a personalized and effective treatment plan.


Trigger point and joint injections are instrumental in alleviating acute pain by targeting specific areas of discomfort. These procedures are conducted with precision and expertise, providing rapid relief and enhancing mobility. Meanwhile, chiropractic adjustments and spinal decompression traction aim to correct spinal misalignments, alleviate nerve compression, and improve overall spinal health. This not only relieves pain but also enhances the body's natural healing capabilities.

These exercises are essential for recovering from injuries, managing chronic conditions, and preventing future health issues. Additionally, therapeutic massage therapy offered at Grand Oak Healthcare promotes relaxation, reduces muscle tension, improves circulation, and supports mental well-being.

Herniated vs Bulging Discs: What Is the Difference?

June 10, 2022
There is a difference between a herniated disc and one that is bulging. At Grand Oak Health Care in Athens and Loganville, we take a careful look at your back to determine if you have any herniated or bulging discs before treatment is provided. Herniated vs Bulging Discs Your vertebral discs are cushions that help keep your spine in alignment. Over time, these discs can start to bulge or suddenly become herniated because of an injury. These discs are fluid-filled sacs, with an outer covering and a jelly-like center. If a disc is herniated, it is torn and leaks fluid into your body. With a bulging disc, the disc is not doing a good job supporting your spine, but it does not leak. Spinal Decompression for Bulging Discs When you see a chiropractor for pain related to a bulging disc, spinal decompression strategies can provide relief. The chiropractor looks at your spinal column and determines where you have any areas of compression. Light stretching, decompression techniques, massage, and ultrasound therapy can help ease the pressure on discs that are compressed and bulging. What to Expect from Chiropractic Care As part of any wellness plan with a chiropractor, you can expect an assessment to determine what is causing your back pain. The treatment plan is developed to meet your specific needs. You will see the chiropractor several times a week during the acute phase of treatment and slowly taper down your visits as you heal.

How a Broadside Collision Affects Your Body

May 12, 2021
Side impact car crashes (a.k.a. "T-bone accidents" or "broadside collisions") tend to have a more devastating effect on the human body than all other types of car accidents, according to researchers at Monash University Accident Research Centre in Melbourne. Even at speeds as low as 18mph, side impact car crashes routinely cause serious injuries to the occupants of the struck car. We at Grand Oak Healthcare want you to understand how such a collision affects your body and what to do to treat it. Whiplash, Concussions, and More A Result of Broadside Collisions Two thirds of broadside collisions cause neck injuries that can lead to chronic pain and even paralysis, and studies show why they’re so common: the human body remains in place for a moment as the car lurches before getting yanked along for the violent ride. This stretches muscles and ligaments beyond their normal range. The sudden movement can injure nerves and discs in the spine, and cause a concussion. A concussion is a traumatic brain injury that can cause permanent damage. If left untreated, lingering symptoms may include headaches, fatigue, chronic pain, loss of coordination, depression, anxiety, vertigo, dizziness, epilepsy, blurred vision, eye pain, attention disorders, reading comprehension problems, and continued memory loss. To prevent this, get care immediately. The time between concussion and treatment is critical to recovery. We’ll want to see you for follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing. The likelihood of permanent brain damage dramatically increases if a concussion isn’t treated immediately. As for the rest of your injuries, our chiropractic care strives to restore range of motion and improve your body’s physical function by reducing pain, inflammation, and scar tissue (where applicable), along with restore range of motion. All of this translates to faster, better healing, and getting your life back to normal.
