Keokuk, IA is about 35 miles from Quincy, roughly an hour’s drive, and patients make that trip regularly to see Dr. Justin Felsman at Adjustin Chiropractic. When it comes to rehabilitation and recovery, a lot of people decide the extra time on the road is worth getting care from a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP) instead of settling for whatever’s closest.
Why Keokuk Patients Make the Drive
Chiropractic care is available closer to home for most Keokuk residents, so the patients who make the trip to Quincy are usually looking for something specific: a thorough exam, a real explanation of what’s going on, and a rehabilitation plan built around their actual injury rather than a generic protocol.
A CCSP Credential Most Local Options Don’t Have
Dr. Felsman holds a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP) credential from the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians, advanced training focused specifically on evaluating and treating injuries related to athletic activity and physical strain. That background shapes how rehabilitation is approached at Adjustin Chiropractic, with an emphasis on getting patients back to full activity, not just out of pain.
What a Visit Actually Involves
Every new patient starts with a thorough history and an exam that looks at strength, range of motion, and movement patterns, not just the spot that hurts. From there, Dr. Felsman builds a rehabilitation plan around what’s actually found, with clear explanations along the way.
Common Injuries That Bring Keokuk Patients In
Keokuk sits right on the Mississippi River, and a lot of the injuries Dr. Felsman treats trace back to the area’s outdoor recreation and physical work.
River and Recreation-Related Injuries
Boating and fishing involve repetitive motions that strain the shoulders and wrists over time, while hiking on uneven riverfront trails can lead to ankle sprains and knee injuries. Seasonal sports like softball and cycling add their own wear and tear, especially heading into peak season.
Work and Overuse Injuries
Repetitive strain from physical labor, along with old injuries that never fully resolved, are common reasons patients seek out rehabilitation care. Dr. Felsman’s approach addresses the underlying movement patterns behind these injuries, not just the pain they cause.
How Rehabilitation Works at Adjustin Chiropractic
Rehabilitation care may include hands-on adjustments using techniques like Diversified, Activator, Thompson, and Flexion-Distraction, along with spinal decompression, intersegmental traction (IST), and targeted exercises, depending on what your exam shows. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all program. Every plan is built around your specific injury and goals.
- Back pain from repetitive strain or overuse
- Sciatica and nerve-related leg pain
- Sports and recreational injuries from athletics or outdoor activity
- Joint pain in the shoulders, knees, or hips
