Staff

We concentrate on treating musculoskeletal and soft tissue injuries which result in pain stemming from all parts of the body including: neck, lower back, shoulder, hip, and more. These injuries can be caused by anything including falls, sports trauma, whiplash injuries, stress, and even faulty posture. We also treat nerve interference which is a primary cause of headaches, sciatica, pain radiating into the arms and shoulders.

Our Services Include:

Chiropractic

The goal of the chiropractic adjustment is to correct the spinal subluxations detected during the examination. To do that, the doctor applies pressure to the bone and “unlocks” it from its improper position. The bone will then be free to align itself correctly.

Billboard Many people think that the chiropractor forces a vertebra back into its “proper” place. But only the individual’s own Innate Intelligence knows for sure what the proper place for each bone is. The role of the chiropractor is to free up the vertebrae. Then, the body can do its job and put them back in the correct position.

Unfortunately, the muscles connected to subluxated vertebrae get used to their positions and have a tendency to pull the bone back out of place. It may take several adjustments before the adjustment “holds,” and the bone settles into its proper alignment.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is a profession in which the practitioner applies manual techniques, and may apply adjunctive therapies, with the intention of positively affecting the health and well-being of the client. Staff2

Massage therapy improves functioning of the circulatory, lymphatic, muscular, skeletal, and nervous systems and may improve the rate at which the body recovers from injury and illness. Massage involves holding, causing movement of soft tissue, and/or applying pressure to the body.

Acupuncture

Traditional Acupuncture is an ancient system of healing used for thousands of years to balance and harmonize life energy. Acupuncture is used to treat illness as well as to anticipate and prevent disease. Acupuncturists focus on determining the fundamental causes of a person’s difficulty, taking the whole person into account, including body, mind and spirit.

Acupuncture is based on natural laws which describe the movement of life energy (called Chi or Qi) in nature and in the body. This life energy flows through the body along precise pathways. When the Chi in the body is balanced and flows properly, we are healthy. When the Chi is imbalanced, we experience distress and illness. Acupuncturists Seminar are trained to detect these imbalances in the Chi. Through the use of hair-thin disposable needles inserted into the acupuncture points or the use of heat at those points (moxabustion), energy is brought into greater harmony which assists your body’s ability to heal itself.

In addition to its function as preventive medicine, acupuncture is often effective in treating physical conditions such as arthritis, asthma, back pain, headaches, high blood pressure, gynecological and fertility problems, rheumatism, sciatica, and ulcers. Some people receive help with emotional conditions, including anxiety, depression, panic attacks, confusion or despair. Still others may feel unwell in themselves but cannot specify exactly what is wrong. By balancing the body’s energy, acupuncture is useful in these diverse situations.
