Chiropractic

A complete case history and thorough physical examination will be conducted. Your posture will be checked, your reflexes and muscle strength will be tested, and other orthopedic and neurological tests may be performed. These tests are designed to show any areas of your spine that may be causing problems.

Chiropractic adjustments include spinal and extremity adjusting using a variety of techniques which include low force, high force and instrument adjusting. Each chiropractic adjustment is tailored to the patient's age, size, and unique spinal problem.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve function. This is done by inserting needles and/or using electrical stimulation at very precise acupuncture points. Acupuncture can increase general health and well-being, help prevent illness, and can treat various conditions. Acupuncture is particularly useful in resolving physical problems related to tension, stress and emotional problems.

We offer the following acupuncture techniques:

*Standard needle technique
*Non-needle technique option
*Electrical stimulation
*Laser stimulation
*AcuPressure and AcuTaping

Soft tissue mobilization

The Graston Technique is used to detect fascial adhesions and restrictions using a stainless steel instrument that glides along a patient's muscle, tendons or ligaments. When knots or bands of scar tissue are encountered, the instrument is then used to break up the restriction or adhesion.

This treatment benefits the patient in the following ways:

*Decrease overall time of treatment
*Fosters faster rehabilitation and recovery
*Reduces need for anti-inflammatory medication
*Resolves chronic conditions thought to be permanent
*Reduces need for splints and braces

Nutritional Counseling

Nutrition is vitally important to health. In fact, most of chronic, degenerative diseases can be prevented by diet and lifestyle. We offer comprehensive evaluation for both diet and supplementation.

Diagnostic Imaging

Depending on your condition, we may refer you for diagnostic imaging. X-rays will help us identify misalignments and degeneration, and alert us to any serious spinal conditions. This will help us develop the most effective treatment plan.

Laboratory Testing

We can provide our patients with an evaluation of their health using blood and saliva testing. These tests allow us to plan a nutritional protocol individual to each patient.
