Our Chiropractic Services

Since our discipline does not employ drugs, surgery, or radiation treatment - all health problems are addressed naturally, by eliminating the cause of the disease. This is coupled with therapies designed to increase the inherent healing capabilities of the human body. Some of the treatment modalities consist of the following:

Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation

Specific manual correction of vertebral misalignments to remove spinal nerve root irritation.

Acupuncture

The Insertion of tiny, hair-like needles into acupuncture points on the body, stimulates your body’s Qi, which then sends signals to the nervous and immune systems telling them how to inhibit pain and resolve disease processes.

Ultrasound Therapy 

This device transmits a high-frequency sound wave emitted from a quartz crystal transducer head that is gently massaged over a specific area. Most authorities agree that the action is one of a micro-massaging effect on the individual microscopic cells. This vibratory action releases and shakes loose intra and extracellular debris.

Infrared Light Therapy 

Infrared light therapy combines two ranges (+ 880 nm) and + 650 nm). Light in these two spectrums has been shown to affect at least 24 positive changes at a cellular level. Light therapy is used to treat myofascial pain and inflammation, edema, wounds, pain, bone fractures, and peripheral neuropathy.

Moist Heat Packs

This form of therapy is utilized for moist heat applications. Using moisture and a combination of heat, deeper penetration can be utilized for an improved physiological effect.

Cryotherapy

This form of therapy employs ice compresses to the injured area to help relieve pain and inflammation.

Nutritional Therapy

The biochemical individuality of each person is determined by the test results of blood analysis, physical examination, heart and lung studies, urinalysis, etc. Based on these clinical-specific data, detoxification diet, special foods, vitamins, minerals, herbs, and enzymes may be prescribed.
