Northeast Chiropractic Center is the St. Petersburg practice of chiropractor Dr. Eric Springer, who has been in practice since 2005 and is passionate about helping patients of all ages function better in their daily lives. The office is set up for people experiencing aches and pains from everyday activities, sports or a recent auto accident injury, and the practice describes Dr. Springer as caring and compassionate, taking the time to listen to patients, address their concerns and provide effective natural solutions. He sees a wide variety of patients including children, athletes, young professionals, and people who have experienced on-the-job injuries or injuries sustained in auto accidents. The stated practice philosophy is to help patients work through injuries, heal faster and function better in daily life without having to take medications or have unnecessary surgeries. Conditions the office says chiropractic can help include back pain, neck pain, headaches and migraines, sciatica, text neck, disc herniations, whiplash, auto injury, sports injury, shoulder pain, posture, knee and ankle complaints and wrists. A variety of techniques is practiced at the center, including the Palmer Package, a combination of Diversified, Thompson Drop, Gonstead and more, as well as Activator Methods. Dr. Springer says he explains each step to patients who are concerned about being adjusted, and he employs gentler techniques for children. Same-day auto accident care is available whether the crash was a fender bender or something more serious. The office has an on-site X-ray lab and other diagnostic tools to identify and document the specifics of an injury, and treatment options offered after diagnosis may include chiropractic adjustments, rehabilitation, physiotherapy, electric stimulation, ultrasound and traction. The team also assists accident patients with paperwork and billing and works closely with attorneys, providing documentation for cases with or without legal representation. HydroMassage is offered on site as well, a fully customizable massage system that delivers a heated, deep tissue style massage in as little as 10 minutes while you stay fully clothed and dry. A first visit includes a consultation, an exam with orthopedic and neurological testing and any necessary X-rays, and a chiropractic adjustment if recommended, running 45 minutes to an hour, followed by a report of findings visit of roughly 30 minutes. Northeast Chiropractic Center is a participating provider for several insurances, describes itself as a referral-based practice, and is highly involved in the St. Petersburg community, sponsoring health fairs and school events.
