Treatments & Services

Spinal Manipulation

Chiropractic is a health care discipline that emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery. The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily of the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.

Chiropractic is concerned with the preservation and restoration of health, and focuses particular attention on the subluxation. A subluxation is a complex of functional and/or structural and/or pathological articular changes that compromise neural integrity and may influence organ system function and general health. A subluxation is evaluated, diagnosed and managed through the use of chiropractic procedures based on the best available rational and empirical evidence.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a technique of inserting and manipulating filiform needles into acupuncture points on the body with the aim of restoring health and well-being, e.g. treating pain. The definition and characterization of these points  standardized by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Massage Therapy

Massage is the practice of applying structured or unstructured pressure, tension, motion, or vibration — manually or with mechanical aids — to the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, joints, lymphatic vessels, organs of the gastrointestinal system to achieve a beneficial response.

Ionic Cleanse

An ionic cleanse foot bath is a top quality high-tech detoxification system that enables the body to heal itself. This  foot bath relaxes, cleanses, balances and enhances the bio energy  of the body. Chinese medicine refers to this energy as the "chi." The complex energy fields permeate and realign the body's energy field while improving oxygen levels. The foot bath is widely used to increase both physical and mental energy, vitality, and stamina. At the same time it also purges the body of toxins, chemicals, radiation, pollution, synthetics, and other foreign material clogging up the  skin, an essential part of the body's systems of elimination. The internal cleansing promoted by an ionic foot bath also  includes parasite cleansing and liver and kidney cleansing.

Physical Therapies

Electrical stimulation and ultrasound can assist in reducing pain and inflammation.

Spinal Rehab

Spinal rehab treatment options include postural training, specific exercises (both in our office and at home), and the use of various devices to help with loss of balance, regaining strength, etc. necessary after auto accidents or with various maladies of the spine.
