First State Health & Wellness has developed their own brand of vitamins. Although it is true that a perfectly balanced nutritional diet contains all the vitamins and minerals most individuals need, many people do not take the time to get a balanced diet.

Dr. Briggs Asks some important questions of interest to Wilmington residents - Chiropractor Wilmington Dr. Briggs Asks...

How do chiropractors help ADHD?
There is agreement that ADHD is a nervous system disorder. And while chiropractic isn't a treatment for ADHD, if your child has subluxations, resolving them will often produce profound results.

Where do most Wilmington residents get their first subluxation?
Being born in a hospital is a common source of subluxation. Trauma from forceps delivery has been replaced with drugs, vacuum extraction, Cesarean section and births that are "scheduled" to fit the workweek routines of Ob-Gyns. That's why we recommend a chiropractic checkup for every Wilmington newborn.
