Chiropractor - North Shore Family Chiropractic

While most people know to turn to their doctor when they are dealing with health problems or dentists when they have concerns about their oral health, most people don’t realize the benefits of turning to a chiropractor for their overall health and wellbeing. Chiropractic care has helped many people manage pain and swelling while improving mobility and enhancing their quality of life.

The Benefits of Seeing a Chiropractor

Chiropractic care isn’t just for managing symptoms. In fact, chiropractic care gets to the root of the problem and helps promote faster and more efficient healing through natural and non-invasive methods. Some of the benefits of chiropractic care are:

Boost blood flow
Stimulate the body’s natural healing process
Repair damaged tissue
Reduce pain and swelling
Boost the immune system to protect against infection
Reduce tension, stiffness, and muscle spasms
Improve overall mobility and functionality of the neuromusculoskeletal system
Improve deep sleep and quality of sleep
Boost cognition and mental clarity
Improve nervous system function

Chiropractic adjustment offers a drug-free, non-invasive means of improving physical problems that cause nerve dysfunction. The human spine contains the spinal cord, which branches out into the entire network of nerves that relay sensations and instructions throughout your body. Whenever an injury, illness, or spinal misalignment pinches down on those nerves, they stop communicating with the body normally. The symptoms can include everything from neck and back pain to numbness, tingling, hormonal imbalances, low immune response and other serious issues.

Chiropractic adjustment gently helps restore the spine to its correct alignment, helps remove pressure from nerves and helps bring your whole body back "online." Results may vary per person. Chiropractic adjustment can also help prevent ailments from occurring or re-occurring. Preventative care in the form of regular spinal screenings and periodic "maintenance" adjustments can keep your joints, muscles and nerves in better operating condition.

The Science of Photobiomodulation

Class IV laser therapy works through a biological process called photobiomodulation. When the laser light passes through the skin, it reaches the underlying soft tissues and is absorbed by the mitochondria within the cells. This interaction boosts the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the primary energy source for cellular repair. This increase in metabolic activity speeds up the regeneration of damaged fibers, allowing for a faster recovery from sprains, strains, and inflammatory conditions.

Advanced Support for the North Shore Athlete

Athletes frequently push their bodies to the limit, leading to repetitive stress injuries and joint inflammation. Unlike lower-power lasers, Class IV laser therapy delivers a higher dosage of therapeutic energy to deeper structures like tendons, ligaments, and muscle groups. This makes it an incredibly effective tool for managing conditions such as runner's knee, tennis elbow, and Achilles tendonitis. By reducing internal swelling and increasing local circulation, the laser helps athletes maintain their training schedules while minimizing the risk of long-term structural setbacks.

Immediate Pain Relief and Inflammation Control

One of the primary benefits of this technology is its ability to provide rapid relief from discomfort. The laser energy suppresses the inflammatory enzymes that trigger pain signals in the nervous system. Additionally, the heat generated by the Class IV device encourages vasodilation, which brings fresh, oxygenated blood to the site of the injury while flushing out metabolic waste. At Haleiwa’s North Shore Family Chiropractic, we often use laser therapy before manual adjustments to ensure the surrounding soft tissues are relaxed and receptive to structural alignment.

A Versatile Tool for Whole-Body Recovery

Whether you are dealing with a recent sports injury or a long-standing musculoskeletal issue, this treatment offers a versatile solution for pain management. Because it is painless and requires no downtime, it serves as an excellent alternative to pharmaceutical interventions or more invasive procedures. By stimulating the body’s innate healing mechanisms, we help you achieve a more resilient physical state, ensuring that your joints and muscles can handle the demands of your daily life.

My name is Jake Simmons and growing up I played a lot of different sports and participated in outdoor scouting activities. As a result, I experienced my fair share of injuries. Although I never went to see a chiropractor I never bought in to the idea of taking medication to fix my aches and pains. Then in 2003 I was in a major car accident and things changed. Although I was not seriously injured, I did sustain a whiplash injury.

It was at the urging of the insurance company that I see a chiropractor near where I was attending college. That is when I had my first adjustment, and felt the first relief from a headache I had been suffering through for about 2 years. The treatment for my car accident opened my eyes to some other injuries I had been ignoring. During the course of my treatment, I was enrolled in some pre-med lecture classes where we had different specialties come and talk to us about their fields. I thought I had settled on sports medicine until the Chiropractor came to talk to us. He told me about how chiropractic schools specialize right from the start. Needless to say I like what he had to say, and I really liked the treatment and pain relief I was experiencing from my chiropractor.

Once I had earned my pre-requisites for entering chiropractic school, I applied for and was accepted to Southern California University of Health Sciences. I attended and graduated from this school earning my Doctor of Chiropractic degree in April of 2010. After finishing chiropractic school I was able to complete my undergraduate degree in exercise science from BYU in Provo, Utah.

Since moving to Hawaii I have been the chiropractor for all of the sports programs at BYU-H as well as Kahuku High School. I have earned a certification in Strength and Conditioning from the NSCA and am very familiar with athletes and the injuries and stress they go through. I have been an Army Reservist since 2015 and have completed basic combat training (BCT) and officer candidate school (OCS) and am familiar with some of the working environments and conditions of military members. I also have four active children, whom I have been adjusting since birth, and am very familiar with their injuries and activity levels as well. I have had the opportunity to work at a couple other practices here on the island, Oahu Family Chiropractic from January 2011 to June 2015, and Island Family Chiropractic from October 2018 to July 2022.

Please give me a chance to change your life the way another chiropractor changed mine.
