Congratulations to our friends at Cove Chiropractic—celebrating 5 years of serving Huntsville! In honor of Dr. Jessica Koelker’s anniversary, we went 5 for 5 and asked 5 questions to get to know her practice a little better and her unique take on chiropractic care. Read on, you might find a few things surprising…

1. We have heard that Cove Chiropractic is for the whole family. How young and how old?

We love seeing whole families come through our doors! By far some of the most memorable adjustments are the babies! Dr. Jess has made several visits to adjust babies that are just a few hours old. Their little adjustment is completely different from anyone else’s. We see from newborn babies to great-grandparents. One of our oldest patients is 95 and they come in every week to stay active. The variety of adjustments we give on a daily basis is just as unique as all of our patients. 

2. What does chiropractic care help with and what kind of treatments does Cove Chiropractic offer? 

There is a lot more to chiropractic care than just keeping your spine aligned! We offer a variety of therapy options to go along with chiropractic care. When your entire body is functioning properly it will all be aligned. Cove offers chiropractic care, massage therapy, decompression therapy, dry needle therapy, cold laser therapy, e-stim, and personal training. We use a variety of these techniques to build a healing plan that fits your individual needs. Chiropractic care can help with back pain, TMJ, pre and postnatal symptoms, migraines, sciatica, and so much more. Our mission at Cove Chiropractic is simply to serve you. We provide excellent chiropractic care to help our patients reach and exceed their health goals. We assess the patient as a whole. We want to address the main concern but also lead you into a lifestyle of being pain-free. We do all of this by offering an evidence-based approach to chiropractic care by utilizing chiropractic manipulation, soft-tissue techniques, therapeutic rehabilitation, and a variety of chiropractic services to help achieve your health goals. There is no age limit on chiropractic care! 

3. What types of massage therapy do you offer? Do you specialize in full body, or more tailored to working on a particular area to help with it, or preventative?

We offer in-house massage therapy with Shirley at Cove Massage! She is phenomenal and works with Dr. Jess to come up with treatment plans for optimal healing with chiropractic care. We offer 60 and 90-minute massages! Shirley specializes in deep tissue massages, cupping, prenatal massage, and Swedish. Chiropractic care and massage therapy go hand in hand. Shirley loosens the muscles up and relaxes the body so Dr. Jess’s adjustment is easier, holds better, and lasts longer! 

4. Dry Needling, it sounds scary, but I’ve heard it really helps. Tell us more.

It may look and sound intimidating but, dry needling is safe, minimally discomforting, and often an effective technique for relieving muscular pain. It can also help increase range of motion and improve overall healing. Dry needling can be very effective in treating headaches, numbness and tingling, shoulder pain, TMJ pain, hip pain, and lower back pain. It is combined with other chiropractic treatment techniques to decrease pain and improve function. Contact us to learn more about dry needling therapy! Dr. Jess is always here to answer questions or concerns you may have about dry needling.

5. What does Cove Chiropractic provide that others don’t and what do you have planned for the next five years?

At Cove Chiropractic, we use our hands and our hearts to help the body heal itself. Chiropractic care is more than just aligning the spine.  Our doors are always open to more than just an adjustment because healing is not linear. We do the same thing as every other chiropractor in town does but we put a little bit more love into everything we do at Cove Chiropractic. Our table welcomes everyone from newborns to grandparents. We are constantly growing our business in one way or another but our biggest goal over the next five years is to have a forever home, add more doctors, and start incorporating functional medicine into our practice. 

Happy 5th anniversary Dr. Jessica Koelker and Cove Chiropractic! Thank you for taking the time to answer our 5 for 5! Their skilled and knowledgeable chiropractic doctors and staff are ready to help you achieve a pain-free, healthy lifestyle. You can make an appointment with Cove Chiropractic here.
