What brings most people to the blue house
Dr. Tyler Earnst names two specialties at his High Point clinic: relief of low back pain that comes from disc problems, and relief of headaches and neck pain. If one of those is why you are reading this, you are in the right place.
The clinic provides advanced spinal correction using the chiropractic techniques that fit each patient. In the clinic's own words, these correction methods are safer, more comfortable and more effective than before, and Dr. Earnst treats adults and children alike.
Every new patient starts with a consultation and a spinal exam. Dr. Earnst, who taught Anatomy & Physiology for years, explains what he finds in plain language before he treats anything.
How Dr. Earnst adjusts: Activator and Diversified
The clinic offers full spine and extremity adjusting, which means the joints of the arms and legs as well as the spine. Two techniques are named on the clinic's own list.
The Activator is a handheld instrument that delivers a small, low-force adjustment to a specific spot. Diversified is the hands-on manual adjustment most people picture when they think of a chiropractor.
Which one Dr. Earnst uses depends on you and on what he finds at 231 Baker Road that day. If you are nervous, say so at the start. One first-time patient wrote in her Google review that he was gentle and it was not painful.
Spinal decompression for disc problems
When low back pain is tied to a disc, the clinic uses spinal decompression. In plain words, it is slow, controlled traction that gently stretches the spine to ease pressure on the disc.
It sits alongside adjustments and the exercises Dr. Earnst teaches, not in place of them. He will tell you whether decompression suits your back, and what a care plan looks like, after the exam.
Posture restoration for headaches and neck pain
For headaches and neck pain, Dr. Earnst combines spinal adjustments with posture restoration. Desk work, driving and phone use all pull the head forward, so posture is part of the picture.
At your first visit, tell him when the headaches start, what your workday looks like and how you sleep. Those details help him decide what to adjust and which posture exercises to give you.
Call the office at (336) 434-4600 to book. New patients get the consultation, spinal exam and first treatment for $75, and the clinic works with Medicare and major insurance plans.
