WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT
Most pain has a structural cause. We find it.
A chiropractic adjustment is a precise, controlled force applied to a specific joint — most often in the spine — to restore proper movement, reduce nerve interference, and relieve pain. When vertebrae are misaligned or joints are restricted, nearby nerves and muscles overcompensate. That's where chronic pain comes from. At Myrtle Grove, adjustments are never one-size-fits-all. Dr. Margie performs a full exam before any hands-on work — understanding your posture, movement patterns, and history before forming a plan. Patients who've seen six other providers and gotten nowhere regularly tell us their first visit here felt different.

WHY DR.MARGIE
The doctor who finally listened.
Dr. Margie Baum has been helping Wilmington families live without pain since 1991. Her approach isn't just about the adjustment — it's about understanding the whole picture. She looks at how you sit, how you sleep, what you do for work, and what you've already tried.
Patients describe her as "the doctor who actually listened." That's not an accident. It's her philosophy. And it's why people drive from across the Cape Fear region to see her.

What Gets Measured
Three things that happen when a spine isn't moving right.
Nerve interference
Misaligned vertebrae put pressure on nerves — causing pain, numbness, or weakness that can travel far from the source. Adjustments remove that pressure, often bringing immediate relief.
Muscle compensation
When a joint is stuck, surrounding muscles tighten to protect it. Over time, this creates chronic tension patterns. Adjustment breaks the cycle so muscles can finally let go.
Reduced joint health
Restricted joints lose their normal fluid exchange, accelerating degeneration. Restoring movement keeps joints healthy and slows the process that leads to arthritis and disc wear.
YOUT FIRST VISIT
What a Myrtle Grove first visit actually looks like.
Tell us what hurts
We ask about your pain, your history, what you've already tried, what makes it worse, and what your life looks like without it. No rushing to the table before we understand what's happening.
A real hands-on exam
Range of motion testing, postural analysis, orthopedic and neurological assessment. We determine exactly which joints are restricted and which nerves are involved before we touch anything.
Treat and teach
You receive your first adjustment and leave with specific exercises and habits tailored to your situation — so the relief keeps building between visits, not just during them.
No long-term commitment. easy to reschedule
