At Southeast Family Chiropractic, we believe that healing doesn’t stop when you leave the adjustment table — it continues through movement.
That’s why our chiropractors in Gastonia, NC, often incorporate custom stretching and strengthening exercises into your treatment plan.
These exercises help retrain your body, prevent future injuries, and enhance the results of chiropractic care — allowing you to move freely, live comfortably, and regain confidence in your body’s abilities.
