Modalities Offered

Chiropractic Adjustments

Adjustments to your spine and joints position your body in the proper alignment for healing. Our chiropractors use the proper amount of force to slide vertebrae into alignment and to adjust other joints such as your elbows, knees, shoulders and wrists. This alleviates pain and helps to restore your range of motion.

The Activator Method

This therapeutic approach requires the use of a specific hand-held tool called the “activator.” A spring-loaded, mechanical instrument, the activator aids in chiropractic adjustment by delivering a rapid, low-force impulse with extreme precision. An activator adjustment can accomplish many of the same benefits as a manual adjustment by improving the body’s alignment and helping with overall body function.

Nutritional Support

We understand the body’s ability to heal itself. We also know that your body requires certain nutrients to support the healing process. Our chiropractors discuss your nutritional intake and show you where adjustments can be made to eliminate foods that trigger allergies, headaches, fibromyalgia flare-ups and inflammation. Plus, if you are seeking weight loss, our dietary advice helps you achieve the recommended calorie intake to reach your goals and stay healthy

Exercise Guidance

Our chiropractors enjoy physical activity and encourage you to stay fit. Our health team provides exercise instruction which includes stretching to increase your flexibility and resistance training to improve your strength.

Lifestyle Advice

Often, the key to reducing and avoiding pain lies in changing the way you perform daily tasks. For instance, if your computer station is not set up to an appropriate height, you may be causing neck or back strain. Our chiropractors are skilled at arranging work stations and showing you how to sit, stand and sleep to support a pain free spinal and joint alignment.

Workplace Screenings

When you are unable to visit us, our chiropractors come to you. We provide postural screenings for workplace wellness and health fairs. These screenings show any muscular or spinal imbalances that contribute to discomfort

Spinal Decompression

Using a traction table, we employ spinal decompression to gently stretch the spine. By altering the position and force placement of the spine, spinal decompression reduces pressure on the spinal discs (gel-like cushions that separate every vertebrae in the spine). This process can cause bulging and herniated discs to retract, which can relieve back pain, improve flexibility, and promote healing by moving nutrient-rich fluids and oxygen to these discs.

Laser Therapy

As part of a comprehensive chiropractic care program, laser therapy has proven to be an effective way to manage pain for many patients. Using a targeted light spectrum, laser therapy helps to ease inflammation, encourage nerve regeneration, and generally speed the healing process for individuals who have suffered injuries or are living with chronic pain.

Electro-Muscle Stimulation

Otherwise known as e-stim, electro-muscle stimulation uses clinical electrical equipment that produces pulses that replicate the signals emanated by the neurons of the human nervous system. By directing mild electrical currents to specific nerves, e-stim produces muscle contractions that improve blood flow and promote tissue repair. Electrical stimulation is a powerful therapy that has also been used to block pain receptors and even restore the natural motor function of stroke victims with nervous system paralysis.

Rehabilitation

In the wake of an injury or a surgical procedure, many people can benefit greatly from a targeted physical rehabilitation regimen. When patients come to us for rehabilitation, we will use a combination of adjustments and other modalities. For post-treatment care at home, we generally recommend a program of exercises to help in recovery from physical trauma and to rebuild former mobility and range of movement.

Corrective Exercises

Whether part of a prescribed physical rehabilitation program or for general preventative or restorative purposes, chiropractic exercises can be powerful complements to regular chiropractic office visits. The pelvic tilt and the supine bridge are just a couple of exercises that virtually anyone can do at home to improve their overall health and wellness. When you come to us for treatment, corrective exercises may be one way that your treatment continues outside of our office!
