STATEN ISLAND, N.Y., May 31, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Healthy Body, a Staten Island chiropractic and wellness center, is expanding access to health care resources online. The practice launched a new website, http://www.healthybodyny.com/, which includes free information on natural pain management, physical therapy, and weight loss. The website features a 'Community Content' wellness library, a 3D Spine Simulator, New Patient Center and blog. The practice hopes prospective and current patients will explore these new resources in order to learn more about the benefits of wellness care and proactively take control of their health.
Staten Island chiropractor Dr. Steven Albert is working to make wellness care more accessible for patients. Dr. Albert recently announced that his practice, The Healthy Body, has launched a new website, http://www.healthybodyny.com/, for patients to learn about wellness and pain relief options.
"At our wellness center, we like to say this is where the pain ends and the health begins," said Dr. Albert. "Our new website reflects this mission. The site's wellness resources are designed to empower patients to proactively take control of their health. We hope our website gives patients the resources and support they need to get healthy for life."
The new site features a "Community Content" library, which includes articles on chiropractic care, massage therapy, and physical therapy. These articles explain how an untreated injury can lead to chronic pain, and how these different treatments help patients heal.
In order to help patients better visualize the underlying cause for their pain, Dr. Albert also included a 3D Spine Simulator on the website. This interactive tool shows patients how an injury to the spine, such as a herniated disc, may compress nearby nerves and cause pain throughout the body.
"When patients are in pain, our goal is not only to provide relief, but also to prevent future problems," said Dr. Albert. "The 3D Spine Simulator helps patients understand why our treatments are so effective. Chiropractic care restores proper alignment to the musculoskeletal system, relieving pressure on nearby nerves, which consequently reduces pain. Proper alignment helps the body heal and reduces the risk for future injury."
The website's "Success Stories" allow prospective patients to learn first-hand from current and former patients how Dr. Albert's treatments have made a difference in their lives. Prospective patients may also visit the websites' "New Patient Center" to learn more about the different stages of care, including relief care, corrective care and wellness care.
"Whether a patient struggles with chronic back pain or needs help losing weight, our goal is to empower patients to get healthy for life," said Dr. Albert. "Our website's resources are designed to help patients feel confident with their treatment choices."
The Health Body provides wellness care, including chiropractic adjustments, corrective exercises, physical therapy, acupuncture and nutritional counseling. The chiropractor provides treatments to manage headache and chronic pain, heal after an injury accident, and jump-start long-term weight loss.
