Chiropractic adjustments have been know to help with many conditions in the body including sciatica, headaches, migraines, carpal tunnel, low back pain, previous injuries to extremities and even things like depression, anxiety and heartburn.

Virginia wholeheartedly believes in the Traditional Chinese Medicine principal that everyone is treated as a unique individual. She addresses patients’ concerns from both the manifestation and the root of the problem. Many people notice that during the course of treatment for one specific problem, other problems remedy themselves as well. This is because Traditional Chinese Medicine treats the whole person, not just the symptom. Learn more about Zion Acupuncture here or call 703-939-0207.

Dr Shimer spends time educating her patients so that they can understand why their bodies are reacting to certain conditions which cause them pain. She helps create awareness of activities, past injuries that have been forgotten and everyday habits that could be affecting the overall health of the patient. She asks you to evaluate your posture, core strength, how you hold your body during work hours, driving, etc. All of these daily events will affect your body and why it is experiencing pain. Adjustments will help align the spine, however, to keep it aligned often behavior needs to be observed and changed.
Nutrition and diet have a large impact on overall health. I encourage my patients to consider a food lovers diet, meaning they learn to fall in love with nutritious food again. It really isn’t a diet, it’s a lifestyle that ends the battle many of us have with food. It shifts the internal conversation from one of self punishment and rewards to that of fueling your body with food that will energize and expedite your healing. Dr. Wendy Shimer believes we need to fall in love with our food again, the food that fuels us. This includes increasing fresh fruit, veggies and lean meats and decreasing the amount of indulgent foods. Dr. Wendy also recommends specific strengthening exercises and supplements (see above for supplement recommendations) that help progress optimum health.
