EDISON, N.J., June 12, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In recognition of Men's Health Month, which takes place throughout the month of June, Backsmart Wellness Center in Edison, NJ, recently launched a campaign to raise awareness about the importance of chiropractic care for men. Dr. Michael Lagana and his team believe that the event is a great opportunity to educate male patients about the positive health benefits that they will enjoy by including chiropractic care as a part of their regular health regimens. "Men's Health Month is about promoting the early detection and treatment of disease along with many other health-related matters," said Dr. Lagana. "Chiropractic care plays a crucial role in whole-body wellness and can be used to effectively detect and treat issues while they are still minor," he added.

The Edison chiropractor and his team are taking steps to recognize this important national event. Throughout the U.S., organizations are conducting screenings, health fairs and other events to raise awareness about men's health issues. Men's Health Month has taken place since 1994, and it becomes bigger and more prominent every year. As a strong advocate for wellness and preventive care, Dr. Lagana is excited to address the chiropractic needs of men throughout the Edison area.

Backsmart Wellness Center provides a comprehensive array of chiropractic and wellness services. On the chiropractic end of the spectrum, the practice provides chiropractic adjustments and other treatments for conditions that involve the misalignment of the spine, including herniated discs, pinched nerves and subluxations. These types of issues cause chronic pain, and sufferers often go years without understanding the underlying causes of their pain. "Unfortunately, we live in a society that depends a little too much on medicating conditions as opposed to treating their underlying causes," said Dr. Lagana. "We handle things differently here."

Dr. Lagana and his team's services extend beyond chiropractic care, so area residents can come in to achieve long-term, whole-body wellness. In addition to chiropractic services, Backsmart Wellness Center provides massage therapy, acupuncture and physical therapy. They also specialize in advanced diagnostic testing that helps them more effectively detect issues while they are still minor and easier to treat. These diagnostic technologies and services include Myovision Nervous System Screening tests, diagnostic X-rays, posture screenings and more. "People come in here after suffering from chronic pain and finally get to the bottom of what's happening," said Dr. Lagana. "It feels great to change people's lives for the better, and we hope to do even more of that in honor of Men's Health Month," he added. “In fact, we are offering free chiropractic consultations and review of MRIs for June in honor of Men’s Health Month.”
