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 point.
 

You may schedule a relaxing massage with one of our therapists, or a therapeutic massage may be arranged by one of our doctors. Whatever your need, our specialists are equipped to handle it.
Feel free to fill out a history and registration form to confirm your massage.

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.

Other forms of Nutritional testing and counseling are also available. Please call or set up an appointment for a consultation.
