While some chiropractors claim to treat a multitude of conditions, the fact is, chiropractic manual therapy has been shown to be effective primarily for low back pain, neck pain and headaches. Other forms of physical medicine, which some chiropractors provide, can be quite effective for treating herniated discs (see Averting Disc Surgery).
This is supported by scientific evidence. Although science supports good outcomes with chiropractic and other forms of physical medicine procedures for back & neck pain; a specific diagnosis remains an enigma in most cases (85% of the time), even with 21st century technology. More contemporary assessment procedures are still evolving and improving outcomes.

The McKenzie Method is likely the the most valid and reliable method of assessing, diagnosing and effectively treating neck & back pain to date. The information below is a short synopsis of some of the data that supports this remarkably effective method.
Ideally, researchers emphasize the need to identify and validate low back pain subgroups by means of anatomical tissue responsible for the pain: intervertebral disc, facet joint, sacroiliac joint, muscle or ligament, etc.This is a real problem, and currently an insurmountable one, because there is no "gold standard" test at this time.

Physical medicine and rehabilitation involves the management of disorders that alter the function and performance of the patient. Emphasis is placed on the optimization of function through the combined use of medications, physical modalities, physical training with therapeutic exercise, movement & activities modification, adaptive equipment and assistive device, orthotics (braces), prosthesis, and experiential training approaches.

It’s my pleasure to recommend the services of Dr. Greathouse. He has been serving residents in our area for several decades and possesses advance knowledge and excellent clinical skills. Dr. Greathouse expertly suggests treatments and management plans that emphasize the body’s ability to heal itself. His wife Marilyn manages the business processes and like her husband, is professional and conscious of patients’ needs. I highly recommend Greathouse Chiropractic & Physical Therapy.

I have been receiving care from Dr. Greathouse for over a year and a half and I couldn't be happier with the level of care provided. It is a small practice that has a very personal feel and you can tell that the staff genuinely cares for their patients. I have moved since I started seeing Dr. Greathouse and there are about three chiropractor offices I pass on the way, to include one less than a quarter of a mile from my house. I have been, and will continue to drive 25 minutes to see Dr. Greathouse as I don't believe I would receive the same level of care from any of the larger (or any other) chiropractor

I have lived in Melbourne Florida for over 14 years and utilized the services of five other chiropractors locally for back and neck pain and general wellbeing.These prior services had offered relief but always temporarily however under Dr.Greathouse’s treatment I have experienced a healing process.The atmosphere is relaxing and service not rushed.I now go just for maintenance of well-being.

Dr. Greathouse and his wife are wonderful caring people. Dr Greathouse goes above and beyond to help his patients feel better. He makes the time to discuss any issues you have and always comes up with more ideas and exercises that will help you feel better. I’ve been seeing him for years and highly recommend his services.
