Chiropractic:

Spinal adjustments are effective for the treatment of acute low back pain, tension headaches and most musculoskeletal issues. Chiropractic treatment is non-invasive and emphasizes understanding the underlying cause of discomfort in an attempt to alievieate the pain. Chiropractic adjustments are intended to correct the alignment, motion and/or function of vertebrae. Specifically, they are intended to correct "vertebral subluxations"; the term given to the signs and symptoms that are said to result from abnormal alignment of vertebrae.

Massage:

Massage

Today many Americans turn to theraputic massage and bodywork for pain relief, rehabilitation, relaxation, and physical or mental rejuvination.

theraputic massage and bodywork relieves muscle spasms; prevents muscle tears; muscle sprains and strains; increases flexability and enhances athletic performance. In addition, massage directly or indirectly affects every system of the body and promotes health, prevents illness and injury and speeds recovery.


Radiology:

Onsite radiology department

With the addition of a radiology department we have eliminated the need for patients to travel between to a seperate facility to aquire x-rays and return to our office to have them interpreted. Our physicians are board certified radiologist. Full physical exams with x-rays taken and developed onsite.

Physical Therapy:

Our licensed muscular therapist can aide in rehabilitation of most injuries small to large.

Electrical Stimulation:

Electrolosis

Electrical stimulation therapy is used in patients to promote muscle groups and individual muscles to contract. Placing electrodes in various locations near the desired muscle group, the therapist can provide the muscle fibers with stimulation in order to aide in strengthening the affected muscle or group. The current applied is adjustable by the therapist to provide a greater or lesser amount of stimulation. This increased stimulation enables blood flow to the applied area to increase, therefore dramatically improving the overall healing time.

Acupuncture:

Acupuncture

Eastern Medicine's approach to illness looks at the whole person, including your body, mind, and spirit. The movement or Qi ("chee") is flowing smoothly when a person is in good health. This energy travels through the body along meridians or channels. Sometimes this movement can be too fast, slow, or stopped altogether.

Acupuncture can bring the body back in balance by inserting tiny needles at specific areas to adjust the flow of Qi and relieve the pain you're experiencing as well as restoring energy levels to normal and calming.
