Updates & Upcoming

So, it's a bit past half way through the year and it has been a little while since I have updated the blog. Here are some things that have happened so far this year and what's coming up.

One big change we have made at the office this year has been the addition of massage services. This has been an exciting change and many people have taken advantage of the services provided by Jill and Annie. We offer relaxation (Swedish) massage, therapeutic (deep-tissue) massage, pregnancy massage and hot stones massage. So whether you are just looking to relax or you need massage in combination with chiropractic treatment to help you recover, we can help you! By the way, you don't have to be a current chiropractic client in order to schedule a massage and some insurances even cover massage when it is medically necessary.

Our strong focus on community involvement has continued and grown this year as well. We have done Pampered Employee Program events for several local companies. Schools and teachers have benefited from our Teacher Appreciation Events. We have also participated in several health fairs and other events for local companies, Chambers of Commerce and other community organizations.

The highlight of our community service this year has been participating in Relay for Life of Lynchburg! This was our first year putting together a team to help a great cause. We were able to surpass our fundraising goal thanks to donations from friends/family, a bake sale, donating proceeds from new patient evaluations, providing chair massages at the event and even from me dressing up like a woman and begging for money. I want to thank everyone that donated and participated. I especially want to give a huge thanks to Kristin Abbott, our team captain. She put so much heart and effort into this event and her dedication is priceless!



We are really looking forward to celebrating Wimmer Chiropractic's 7th Birthday this week! We will have cake!!! We will also have some fun activities and chances to win some great prizes such as free massages, chiropractic visits, pillows, Biofreeze, etc. Again, a big thanks goes out to all that have made this milestone possible. Without out those we serve, we would have no reason to celebrate. Please come buy this week for some fun.

Our calendar of events for the rest of the summer and into the fall is looking exciting. We will be doing several more Pampered Employee Program events, charity golf tournaments, health fairs, etc. Please let us know if your business or organization has any upcoming events that may benefit from the presence of Wimmer Chiropractic.

Before you know it we will begin planning our annual Toys For Tots drive that will begin in late November and our Patient Appreciation event in early December. We always look forward to this event and I hope we can surpass last years efforts and fill 2 vans full of toys.

Lastly, we look forward to continuing to assist our community with its health care needs during this second half of the year and for many years to come. Let's finish the year with a bang!!!
