A Different Approach
We need to look at health differently. Our society’s concept of health is to focus on the disease and how to treat it. There seems to be little effort made on addressing the cause and helping the body restore healthy function from within, relying on the body’s healing abilities rather than on a drug.
The body has an innate ability to maintain and heal itself. Sickness and disease can develop in a number of ways. One major form can be in inappropriate communication or nerve interference, between the brain and body. Chiropractic care strives to help remove that interference and allow the body to heal itself.
Activator Methods®
We do not utilize manual manipulation or popping or cracking of the spine as some might call it. We make corrections to your nervous system via the spine using a gentle technique called the Activator Methods®. An examination is performed touching and feeling for tight and tender areas. We will also measure the motion in your spine. X-rays may be used as well. I like to think of x-rays as giving us a history of your spine, allowing us to see any previous injuries, surgeries, or any structural or degenerative changes.
Stress and Your Health
Some people seek us out solely because of our Brain-based or Neurologically-based chiropractic care. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH) 60-80% of all doctor visits are related to stress. And it is also estimated that 80% to 90% of all industrial accidents are related to personal problems and employees’ inability to handle stress. Headaches, high blood pressure, IBS, acid reflux, sleep-loss, heart attacks, infertility and yes, even some forms of cancer.
Advanced Technology for Assessing and Addressing Stress
We use cutting edge technology, the NeuroInfiniti by Thought technologies, to determine how your nervous system and body responds to stress and how well it recovers. Depending on the results of this study, in addition to chiropractic care, we give you tools and techniques that put you in charge of your health. Many patients feel relief that there is something that can be done to help then get well and that they can be part of the healing process. We may recommend at-home techniques in breathing, relaxation, biofeedback, light and sound entrainment as well as what things to avoid.
