Jernigan Chiropractic and Rehab has found a new home on Pass Road in Gulfport. “One of the reasons
we relocated is because we out grew our previous location of fteen years and wanted to also provide our patients with more convenient services,” said Dr.
Jeremy Jernigan, owner and doctor at the clinic.
The new of ce, which is over 5,000 square feet, features an open oor plan that encourages education and allows
patients to learn from conversations happening around them. The new design helps to decrease customer wait
times, allowing doctors to be as ef cient as possible while maintaining patient comfort.
In order to prepare the new building, Dr. Jernigan rst considered what his patients needed most. “Our primary focus is getting patients well through chiropractic
care and treatment. We’ve adopted different kinds of
modalities that help our patients get out of pain as quickly as possible, but also to restore balance and
function to joints that have given them trouble for so long.”
Along with its previous services of chiropractic care, the clinic now offers physical
therapy, and it is home to the
Coast’s only portable full body cryotherapy chamber as well as the CryoPenguin, localized cryotherapy. It also houses a Sigma, which is a computerized spinal adjustment instrument that helps patients who do not respond to traditional chiropractic treatments. The variety of these services allows the clinic to help as many people as possible.
With patients ranging from newborn babies to athletes to the elderly, the Jernigan Chiropractic and Rehab embraces a diverse approach to patient care
by listening to patients and determining what type of care will best address each person’s individual needs.
The clinic believes in educating patients on whole body wellness to address the causes of pain rather than the symptoms of pain. “As chiropractors, we take a natural wellness approach to helping our patients get better. We take a multi-directional approach, and we don’t just adjust and treat. We want to keep patients out of pain once we get them out of pain,” explained Dr. Jernigan.
The new of ce has allowed Jernigan Chiropractic and Rehab to better implement this multi-directional approach by creating a comfortable environment with a variety of tools, therapies, and treatments to ensure
each patient’s needs are adequately met.
