At www.dralexjimenez.com and www.chiromed.com, Dr. Jimenez and his team deliver cutting-edge, evidence-based treatments that integrate chiropractic care, functional medicine, and advanced rehabilitation protocols to address complex neuromusculoskeletal conditions. Our mission is to restore mobility, alleviate pain, and empower patients to live vibrant, pain-free lives through personalized, holistic care.

Specialized Spine and Back Injury Care

Dr. Jimenez’s practice is renowned for its expertise in treating intricate spine and back injuries, including herniated discs, severe sciatica, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, and chronic low back pain. By combining his chiropractic expertise with his advanced training as a Family Practice Nurse Practitioner and Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner (IFMCP), Dr. Jimenez offers a unique, integrative approach to spine care that addresses both symptoms and underlying causes.

Complex Spine Care Treatments

Dr. Jimenez utilizes cutting-edge techniques to address complex spine conditions in his chiropractic and rehabilitation clinic.

• Chiropractic Spinal Adjustments use precise manual and instrument-assisted adjustments to restore spinal alignment, reduce nerve compression, and improve mobility. A 2020 study in Spine Journal found that spinal manipulative therapy significantly reduces pain and disability in patients with chronic low back pain (Rubinstein et al., 2020).
• Decompression Therapy: Non-surgical spinal decompression to relieve pressure on herniated discs and pinched nerves, promoting disc healing and pain relief. Research in Journal of Physical Therapy Science (2017) supports its efficacy for lumbar disc herniation (Choi et al., 2017).
• Regenerative Therapies: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell support therapies to enhance tissue repair and reduce inflammation in degenerative spine conditions. A 2019 meta-analysis in Pain Physician confirmed PRP’s effectiveness in managing lumbar pain (Sanapati et al., 2019).
• Electro-Acupuncture: Targeted electrical stimulation of acupuncture points to reduce pain and promote healing in sciatica and chronic back pain. A 2018 study in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine demonstrated its benefits for neuropathic pain (Li et al., 2018).
• Customized Rehabilitation Programs: Tailored exercises focusing on flexibility, core strength, and spinal stability to prevent re-injury and enhance long-term recovery.

Family Nurse Practitioner Services at www.chiromed.com

As a Family Practice Nurse Practitioner, Dr. Jimenez offers comprehensive medical evaluations and functional medicine protocols to complement spine care:

• Functional Medicine Assessments: In-depth evaluations using the Living Matrix Functional Medicine Assessment to identify root causes of chronic spine pain, including inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, and hormonal imbalances. A 2021 study in Frontiers in Medicine highlighted functional medicine’s role in improving outcomes for chronic pain patients (Beidelschies et al., 2021).
• Nutritional Therapy: Personalized nutrition plans to reduce inflammation and support spinal health, incorporating anti-inflammatory diets rich in omega-3s and antioxidants. Research in Nutrients (2020) supports dietary interventions for reducing chronic pain (Kaushik et al., 2020).
• Hormone Optimization: Addressing hormonal imbalances that exacerbate pain and delay healing, such as cortisol dysregulation in chronic stress. A 2019 study in Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism linked cortisol imbalances to chronic pain syndromes (Hannibal et al., 2019).
• Lifestyle Medicine: Guidance on stress management, sleep optimization, and ergonomic adjustments to support spine health and prevent injury recurrence.
