Jefferson Park Chiropractor for Family Wellness Care
Achieve and Maintain Your Health at Helping Hands Chiropractic Care
Whether you're flipping through pages of your favorite magazine or channel surfing, you likely will be bombarded with a host of ads for various medications. While medicine has its place, we like that chiropractic is a natural, drug-free approach to health care. Chiropractic gets fantastic results, can be used on patients of all ages, and it doesn't come with side effects.
Since 1988, Jefferson Park Chiropractor Dr. Peter Meyer has helped his patients get out of pain and on the road to a healthier life. At Helping Hands Chiropractic Care, he looks forward to getting you and your family the care you need to live your best life.
Taking the Time to Listen
If you've felt that, in the past, your concerns weren't addressed at other doctors' offices, that's not the case at our chiropractic practice. We will take the time to listen to your concerns, ask good questions to get to the root of the problem you're having and work to devise the most effective treatment.
Our Services
What is it? We primarily use the Cox Technic, a gentle, research-backed approach that identifies injured or problematic tissues and directs care directly to those areas. In addition to spinal work, Dr. Pete also treats shoulders, knees, elbows, and wrists, and uses Diversified manual adjusting alongside the Cox Technic.
Who is it for? Anyone dealing with back or neck pain, disc bulges, disc herniations, sciatica, or muscle weakness, as well as those looking to improve body awareness and maintain long-term health.
Benefits:
Drug-free, natural pain relief
Care tailored to your specific injuries
Treatment for conditions difficult to manage elsewhere
Potential to avoid surgery
Improved body awareness over time
What is it? We address auto accident injuries from multiple angles, combining chiropractic care, acupuncture, physical therapy, physiotherapy, and soft tissue massage. Care is based on what the body needs, and we collaborate with medical doctors, neurologists, and surgeons when necessary.

What is it? Dr. Pete uses biomedical acupuncture, combining Western analytical science with traditional Oriental practice. Needling activates the body’s built-in survival mechanisms, stimulating the nervous, endocrine, immune, and cardiovascular systems to normalize function and promote self-healing at both a local and central level.
Who is it for? Those dealing with pain conditions, including low back pain, neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain, rotator cuff injuries, knee pain, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and arm or hand numbness, particularly where Western medicine has offered limited relief.

Safe, low-cost pain management
No side effects when performed by a trained practitioner
Effective as a standalone or complementary treatment
Addresses the whole body, not just individual symptoms
What is it? We offer individualized nutrition plans developed through a detailed intake process that includes a questionnaire and a one-on-one consultation. Dr. Pete works with trusted supplement brands, including Orthomolecular, Standard Process, and Biotics Research, to identify what each patient’s body is lacking and to build a targeted plan.
Who is it for? Patients dealing with pain and inflammation, joint pain, arthritis, anxiety, sleep disorders, or anyone seeking a holistic approach to supporting their overall health through diet and supplementation.
Benefits:
Customized nutrition and supplement plan
Support for inflammation, joint pain, and immune health
Guidance from a doctor with personal experience in nutrition
Access to professional-grade supplements
What is it? Our licensed massage therapist, who has been with the practice for over 10 years, provides deep-tissue therapeutic massage tailored to each individual’s specific needs.

Benefits:
Decreased pain and muscle tension

Who is it for? Patients dealing with low back pain, sciatica-like symptoms, disc-related pain, nerve irritation, or chronic and recurring back issues, especially those who need a gentler form of care.
Benefits:
Reduced pressure on spinal joints and discs
Relief from nerve irritation and sciatica symptoms
Improved mobility and flexibility
Drug-free, non-surgical approach
Auto Accident Care
For those who have been in an auto accident, we also offer techniques and therapies to get patients on the path to recovery. That’s vital as, according to some research, people have problems for 30-40 years after an auto accident if they aren’t taken care of properly. Dr. Meyer’s postgraduate training in dealing with motor vehicle accidents allows him to get his patients the effective care they need to recover.
Acupuncture
As a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture has been used for thousands of years. It’s remarkably effective in addressing pain as well as digestive problems, allergies, mood issues and more. Dr. Meyer has postgraduate training in acupuncture, and has gotten excellent results for his patients.
