Dr. Meredith Addess uses the diversified chiropractic technique to treat the root cause of your pain — not just the symptoms. Drug-free, hands-on care for patients of all ages in Spanish Fort and Baldwin County.
Chiropractic adjustments at Malbis Chiropractic are effective for a wide range of conditions — many that patients don't realize a chiropractor can help with.
Lower, mid, and upper back pain caused by spinal misalignment, herniated discs, muscle strain, or poor posture. The most common reason patients visit us — and one of the conditions we treat most effectively.
Cervical spine misalignment, disc injuries, and muscle tension that restrict movement and cause chronic discomfort. Often made worse by screen time and poor ergonomics.
Radiating pain, numbness, or tingling that travels from your lower back through your hip and down your leg. Caused by compression of the sciatic nerve — often from a herniated disc or spinal misalignment.
Cervicogenic headaches and chronic migraines caused by cervical spine issues. Chiropractic adjustments can reduce the frequency, intensity, and duration of headache episodes — often eliminating them entirely.
Shoulder, hip, knee, and other joint pain from arthritis, overuse, or injury. Chiropractic adjustments restore proper joint mechanics and reduce inflammation to relieve pain and improve mobility.
Strains, sprains, and repetitive stress injuries common in athletes and active adults. We treat both the acute injury and the underlying biomechanical issues that contributed to it.
Lower back pain, hip pain, and pelvic discomfort during pregnancy. Dr. Meredith uses gentle techniques safe for every trimester — helping expecting mothers stay comfortable throughout their pregnancy.
Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the arms, hands, or legs caused by nerve compression from spinal misalignment. Early treatment prevents these symptoms from becoming permanent.
Forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and spinal curvature issues that worsen over time. Regular adjustments correct these patterns before they cause chronic pain and degeneration.
We don't chase symptoms. We identify the structural cause of your pain and correct it — so your results are lasting, not temporary.
Dr. Meredith Addess uses the diversified chiropractic technique — the most widely used and thoroughly researched adjustment method in the profession. It involves precise, hands-on spinal adjustments that restore proper alignment, reduce nerve interference, and allow your body to heal itself.
Unlike one-size-fits-all approaches, the diversified technique allows Dr. Addess to tailor every adjustment to your specific condition, body type, and comfort level.
