- Chiropractic Care
- Chiropractic care is offered at our clinic by
Doctors of Chiropractic who have passed rigorous state and
national boards. Currently, we have three doctors who may be
available to consult, examine and treat you.
Chiropractic is an art, science, and philosophy that is
concerned with proper body mechanics. Throughout our lives, we
all encounter three types of stress;
- 1. physical or mechanical
- 2. chemical or nutritional
- 3. emotional or mental.
- These stresses may affect our spines directly
or mechanically; for instance in a fall, a car wreck, trauma
from carnival or amusement rides, or repetitive motions that
occur from many of our jobs.
Our spines may be affected indirectly, say from infection or
pathology in an organ:
For example, someone with a urinary tract infection may hurt in
their back from what we call a viscero-somatic reflex. The
inflammation in the organ will refer back to the spine causing
muscles to tighten and contract, causing pain. Thirdly,
emotional stress may cause pain in the spine due to
over-production of stress hormones that cause weakening of the
spinal muscles and joints.
The chiropractor's task is to find the areas that are out of
alignment due to one of the above mentioned stresses, and ease
the tension in the area by applying an adjustment to the
affected area.
-
- Our doctors are trained in low-force, highly
specific techniques that are highly effective and offer relief
quickly. Not only are our doctors concerned with making you
'feel" better by reducing inflammation in the area, but your
doctor will look to find the "cause" of the problem.
People of all ages can benefit from chiropractic care; from the
toddler with chronic ear infections to the aged person who
suffers from a host of health problems. The great benefit of
chiropractic is not only pain relief, but improvement in
function as well.. People who choose chiropractic on a regular
basis find improvements in such things as improved sleep, more
energy and less fatigue and depression. Whole families sometimes
choose chiropractic care as a wellness and preventive health
style. Set up an appointment, or call
today for a complete chiropractic evaluation.

- Rehabilitation
-
 Depending on your specific case, procedures
may vary after you have finished your course of decompression.
Strengthening of the soft tissue around the spine, such as the
musculature and tendons and ligaments needs to be accomplished.
A rehab program may be begun in-house, which may entail using
our spine strengthening exercise equipment, or an at-home
exercise program may be designed for you. Some chronic cases may
need additional soft tissue work such as some form of physical
medicine like massage or chiropractic care. Both massage and
chiropractic care are offered at our clinic by highly trained
specialists. In all cases, a thorough exam will be performed
with whatever testing, such as range of motion, orthopedic
tests, or X-rays needs to be done to access
your condition before dismissal is accomplished.
|
- Massage and Soft Tissue Therapy
- We offer the best in massage and soft tissue
techniques. Our licensed therapists have passed state tests and
are required to continue their education every year by state
law. Some of the techniques they offer include Swedish, hot
stone, lymph massage, aromatherapy, neuromuscular, and trigger

or a therapeutic massage may be arranged by one of our doctors.

- Nutritional Testing and Counseling
- The Ulan Nutritional Response Testing System
is employed in this office. All organic nutritional products are
used in this system. Standard Process and whole food supplements
are recommended for people who need to strengthen their organs
and organ responses.
Testing takes about a half an hour and requires no blood or
urine. This program takes 3 months to restore vitality and
function on the average.
- Other forms of Nutritional testing and
counseling are also available. Please
call or set up an appointment for a consultation.

- Acupuncture
What is Acupuncture
Acupuncture, simply stated, is a health science which is used to
successfully treat both pain and dysfunction in the body.
Early Chinese physicians discovered there is an energy network
traversing just below the surface of the skin which communicates
from the exterior to the internal organs and structures at over
1,000 “Acupoints” on the body. This energy works in harmony with the
body's circulatory, nervous, muscular, digestive, genitourinary and
all other systems of the body. When this vital energy becomes
blocked or weakened, an effect in a body system or anatomic location
becomes evident. Stimulation of one or a combination of key
“Acupoints” on the body may restore harmony to the affected area.
Are results Permanent?
For acute problems where there has been little or no organ system or
tissue damage, results are often permanent. For chronic conditions,
symptoms may recur from time to time. Generally a few additional
treatments are sufficient to obtain relief. It's suggested that
patients with severe or chronic conditions return for a booster
treatment two to three times a year.
Acupuncture examination to see if it may help.
When one first comes to our office for an acupuncture evaluation
he/she receives a consultation with the doctor to see if his/her
problem can be helped by acupuncture. A thorough and comprehensive
examination is performed to further evaluate the patient’s chief
complaint or condition.
All of this information is compiled to establish an accurate
diagnosis. Finally, the patient is given a report to explain the
cause of his/her problem, and if the problem is likely to be helped
with acupuncture, treatment procedures are then initiated.
