Chiropractic Care

Chiropractors practice a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that includes thorough examination, diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of various disorders of general health and of the nervous system. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and are also trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling.

We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As Doctors of Chiropractic, our doctors have had years of training and experience in spinal adjustment.

Rehabilitative and Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises/ functional rehabilitation, designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in our rehabilitation room or in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

Lifestyle Advice

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.

Neuro-Spinal Functional Scans

• Rolling/Segmental Thermal Scanner: The patented Insight™ Thermal Scanner assesses the part of your nervous system that helps control your organs, glands, and blood vessels called the autonomic nervous system. The thermal scanner functions by measuring skin temperature differentials. It utilizes data published in the Journal of Neurosurgery for normative comparison and reporting.

•  Static and Dynamic Surface Electromyography (sEMG):
  One of the most exciting technologies in contemporary chiropractic practice, sEMG measures baseline status and changes in the electrical activity of paraspinal muscles in order to quantify the muscular changes associated with vertebral subluxations. This makes it a powerful tool for tracking outcome assessment results from chiropractic care.
  
• Wireless Dual Inclinometer: The Insight™ Inclinometer is used to measure accurate spinal range-of-motion which is the amount of movement in regions of your spine. Range-of-motion measurements are widely employed in chiropractic practice for clinical assessment of spinal dysfunction and impairment rating.
  
• Pulse Wave Profiler (PWP): The Insight PWP allows you to monitor the autonomic nervous system in new ways by collecting Heart Rate Variability (HRV) data. This is a unique, extremely exciting, and powerful tool for the chiropractor! Heart Rate Variability is the beat-to-beat variation in heart rate. This natural rise and fall of heart rate is caused by several physiologic phenomena, including breathing and autonomic nervous system activity. Published research has shown that chiropractic adjustments have a beneficial effect on heart rate variability.
  
• Algometry (Pain Mapping): The Insight™ Algometer enables doctors to obtain accurate information concerning the sensory portion of the nervous system by mapping pressure/pain sensitivity along the spine. The Insight™ Algometer enables doctors to obtain accurate information concerning the sensory portion of the nervous system by mapping pressure/pain sensitivity along the spine.
