Laser-like focus

As a chiropractor, Dr. Jeffrey Glover treats much more than ailing necks and painful lower backs. Sure, that’s part of his business, but he has also been successful in treating neuropathy, a disease most people would assume is managed more often by neurologists or neurosurgeons.

Dr. Glover, who owns Glover Chiropractic Clinic in Leesburg, has seen firsthand how neuropathy can affect a patient’s emotional and physical well-being, as well as their overall quality of life. After all, they endure sensations of burning, tingling, cramping, numbness, and pins and needles on a constant basis.

Rather than relying on surgery, medication, or injections — all of which come with risks — Dr. Glover utilizes a drug-free, nonsurgical approach to effectively treating neuropathy. He has the only chiropractic office in Leesburg equipped with the LiteCure Laser LCT-1000.

This state-of-the-art technology targets soft tissue with laser light and energizes damaged cells. As a result, the body’s natural healing powers are activated and inflammation is reduced. This helps reduce pain considerably.

While treating nerve damage stemming from chemotherapy or radiation can be tricky, he has had success treating patients with compressed nerves or those with diabetic neuropathy. All neuropathy patients can be helped to a lesser or greater extent through an individualized treatment plan that includes regular chiropractic care and an improvement in diet.

“Our patients are enjoying excellent results,” he says. “We have an 85 to 90 percent success rate using the LiteCure Laser. Some patients have neuropathy so bad that they’ve gone 10 years without feeling the carpet underneath their feet. After several treatments, they are now getting their feeling back.”

The laser has also helps treat sports injuries, sprains, strains, arthritis, shoulder pain, knee pain, and other inflammatory conditions.

To complement the LiteCure Laser therapy, Glover Chiropractic also offers lymphatic drainage therapy through licensed massage therapist Tracy Zito. This helps release toxins and built up waste in the lymphatic system and also increases blood flow and tissue oxygenation to the injured area. She spent one year studying lymphatic drainage at the Upledger Institute under Dr. Bruno Chikly, who was the first physician to develop this technique.

“I open up various pathways throughout the body so the body can begin healing naturally,” says Tracy, who is also a certified trainer. “It is also effective for people with high blood pressure and high cholesterol.”

Chiropractic: It’s in his bones

Dr. Glover’s desire to become a chiropractor began at age 9. After suffering from nocturnal headaches and undergoing numerous diagnostic tests, doctors could not determine the underlying cause. He received an adjustment while accompanying his mother to a local chiropractor and the headaches disappeared.

“That chiropractor made a big impression on me,” he says. “I knew then that I wanted to be a chiropractor and help other people who could not find solutions to alleviate their pain.”

He pursued that dream and graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2007. While he could have opened a practice anywhere in the country, he decided to return to his roots and open a practice in Leesburg, which undoubtedly has a special place in his heart.

“I was born and raised in Leesburg, so I’ve always felt a special bond here,” says Dr. Glover, who graduated from Leesburg High School in 1999 and Lake-Sumter State College in 2002. “The people here are special to me, and I always try to go above and beyond to give them the best care possible.” because, as he puts it, “money should never get in the way of care that someone needs.” state-of-the-art a touch He offers ver y affordable services

His compassionate approach is one reason why the majority of his business comes from patient referrals. “If you treat people right and help them feel better, they spread the word pretty quick,” he says.
