Customized Care for Your Family's Unique Needs

We recognize that every family is unique, so we take a personalized approach to care. Dr. Skare will take the time to understand your family's health history, pain points, lifestyle, and goals to create a tailored treatment strategy that meets your specific needs. 


Whether you're seeking relief from pain, improving athletic performance, or enhancing your general well-being, we're here to support you through the journey. And because our services are conservative, we can use them on almost any type of patient suffering from spine and musculosketal injuries, conditions, or disorders. 


What is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care uses manual and instrument-assisted tissue, joint, and spine manipulation and correction to treat injuries or imbalances within the body. Chiropractors use these treatments to ignite the body’s natural healing process, restoring function, alignment, and comfort. 

Chiropractic care methods are safe and comprehensive, focusing on disorders over symptoms. This creates sustainable effects and improved results for the patient without relying on pain medication or more aggressive healthcare procedures. 


Is Chiropractic Care Safe? 

Very. Chiropractic care offers natural, noninvasive treatments to improve body function by harnessing the body’s innate healing process. This gives chiropractic care an unparalleled safety record in the healthcare industry, potentially avoiding the need for traumatic medical interventions and their associated risks and downtime.

Our chiropractor provides personalized assessments and treatments through detailed and thoughtful discussion and evaluation, always keeping the patient’s safety and comfort at the forefront. 


Does Chiropractic Care Hurt?

Chiropractic treatments are typically comfortable. Some patients experience mild, post-massage-like soreness that often signals progress, but most feel immediate relief and relaxation. 

Dr. Skare prioritizes your comfort, encourages open communication, and respects your preferences throughout your treatment.

Patients Who Receive Chiropractic Care in Our Clinic

No matter your age, it’s important to live comfortably and know your body can properly support the demands placed on it. We aim to encourage your comfort, strength, flexibility, and overall function by utilizing an array of safe, natural chiropractic care techniques. 


Our Rochester family chiropractor works with patients of all kinds, including: 


Prenatal Chiropractic Care Patients

Our treatments are safe, gentle, and effective during pregnancy when the female body undergoes significant physical, mental, emotional, and hormonal changes. Musculoskeletal health is especially crucial during this period, as it helps to maintain good mobility, balance, and comfort.

Low back pain is a common issue during pregnancy, affecting 50-70% of women. However, studies have shown that those receiving prenatal chiropractic care experience less pain and have up to 31% shorter labor times. Women who receive chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy also experience improved pelvic floor balance and relaxation. 

 

Working with your local pregnancy chiropractor, you will not only get in-clinic solutions that are safe for you and your baby but also take home guidance on numerous aspects of your routine, including:

  • Exercises and stretches
  • Sleeping positions
  • Stress management
  • Workstation setup and ergonomics 
  • Posture and movement patterns  

 

Finding the right routine during pregnancy is important, as it supports every stage, including labor, delivery, and recovery.

Pregnancy and labor are demanding physical activities; our goal is to help prepare you to handle them effectively.

Sciatica During Pregnancy

One of the most common conditions during pregnancy is sciatica. As the mother undergoes many biomechanical changes, pressure is placed on the sciatic nerve, which can be very painful and create limitations.  


Prenatal-induced sciatica can cause several adverse symptoms, including:

  • Shooting pain or shocks of pain
  • Tingling sensation along the nerve
  • Weakness
  • Burning in the lower back
  • Numbness that radiates from the lower back down the leg
  • Discomfort that interferes with sleep, focus, and physical activity
  • Difficulty walking, sitting, and standing 
  • Mental stress

 

Our organic, low-force chiropractic adjustments and other noninvasive techniques tailored for pregnancy can help relieve the pressure on the sciatic nerve, reduce inflammation, and improve overall comfort.

Postpartum Chiropractic Care Patients

Postpartum recovery is a crucial time for women, yet many are advised to rest for six weeks and resume their daily routine simply. 

While rest is necessary, it should not be the only recovery method before returning to everyday activities. 

Often, new mothers are left with lingering aches and pains and have not fully recovered after delivery. Therefore, it is important to prioritize pelvic floor health and nurture overall strength, balance, and integrity during this period. 

We will help you recover by implementing safe movements and exercises that reduce pain and improve proper function. These activities will benefit you physically, mentally, and emotionally as you navigate new feelings, stressors, and emotions. 

Chiropractic Care for Pediatrics

Chiropractic care for infants and children can have numerous benefits. Dr. Skare has completed specialized training in Pediatric Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) through the Prague School of Rehabilitation, giving him significant insight into proper movement and development patterns in youth. 

DNS is based on developmental kinesiology and can help ensure your children meet milestones by evaluating reflexes, movements, and stabilization patterns and quickly correcting imbalances as needed. 

We will also assess spinal joint restrictions and provide gentle adjustments to address potential issues and promote optimal health and function so your children can stay active and comfortable.


Scoliosis in adolescents 

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis is the most common form of scoliosis, developing between the ages of 10 and 19. While the cause is usually unknown, noninvasive yet rigorous and regular chiropractic therapy can help slow the curve and even correct it once diagnosed.

Chiropractic care at Skare Spine & Performance involves specific manipulation and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization to help coordinate and strengthen spinal and back muscles. This, combined with a brace, can slow the curve's progression. 

The earlier scoliosis is recognized and treated, the better the patient's outcome, as spinal curvatures can quickly progress if treatment is delayed. 

Chiropractic Care for Seniors

You may feel the aches and pains related to aging daily, but you don't have to live with them.

 

Several different conditions can occur with the aging process, including imbalances and symptoms such as:

  • Spinal stenosis
  • Arthritis 
  • Degenerative joint disease
  • Hip and knee pain
  • Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder)

 

Most of these conditions are related to joint inflammation and sometimes go unnoticed, allowing the condition to worsen until symptoms are felt. 

Proactively ensuring your joints function well and building strength in the proper muscles can benefit your movement patterns, help avoid inflammatory responses, and improve your quality of life as you age.

Chiropractic Care Techniques Used in Our Rochester Family Chiropractic Clinic

Our chiropractic care team is skilled in delivering optimized treatment for your unique needs and circumstances. We offer a range of chiropractic techniques that get real and lasting results.  

 

What is a Chiropractic Adjustment?

Chiropractic adjustments are the foundation of chiropractic care. By employing concentrated pressure on a joint or area of the spine (sometimes called a spinal manipulation), we can re-establish proper function and placement and enhance movement, mobility, and flexibility. 


We deliver adjustments and manipulations in various ways, including manually, using a specialized instrument, or a drop table; some of our modalities include:

  • Diversified adjusting: Traditional hands-on adjusting 
  • Flexion distraction: Using a segmented table, we can drop sections to enhance manipulation effects
  • Motion Palpation: Used to determine how joints are moving and positioned
  • McKenzie Method: Patients perform specific exercises that detail where dysfunction is, helping us create the ultimate adjusting plan

 

In addition to chiropractic adjustments, we offer complementing solutions to treat soft tissues impacting impaired joints and other health-enhancing services, including: 

Our chiropractic care has effectively treated numerous health concerns, including, but not limited to:

  • Headaches, including migraines
  • TMJ
  • Back pain and lumbar pain and injuries, including herniated disc and degenerative disc disease
  • Neck pain, text neck, and whiplash
  • Shoulder pain and rotator cuff injuries 
  • Tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and elbow pain
  • Hand pain, wrist pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome 
  • Hip pain and sciatica 
  • Knee pain and injuries
