Our doctors provide the finest chiropractic adjustments and wellness care to our patients to help alleviate symptoms and discomfort.

Contact Reflex Analysis

Contact Reflex Analysis involves the system of fuses or breaker switches called contact reflexes. This method of interpreting the body's nutritional, structural and physical needs is a safe, natural and simple way to do it. An imbalance in any of these areas can contribute to or cause acute or chronic health problems. Contact Reflexes are so unique that we are able to monitor the function of each body system and/or organs merely by contacting these electrical contact points and testing them by a new muscle testing technique.

Applied Kinesiology

Applied Kinesiology (also known as AK) is a holistic method of care that includes spinal manipulation, attention and treatment to the muscle, ligaments, and discs, as well as added nutritional support to give your body the chemistry it needs to heal quicker. This method involves strength testing muscles to see which areas are stronger or weaker than others, and then treating those areas.

Nutritional Counseling

When it comes to your back pain, you know that without proper care it can become unbearable. Since you need to use your back for almost everything you do, the pain can be debilitating and prevent you from living your fullest life. The cause for this back pain, however, may very well be something you’re unaware of doing. Depending on the type of lifestyle you live, your pain may be able to become manageable with just a few changes.

An extremely active lifestyle

where an individual is constantly moving and putting stress upon the body is a salient reason for back pain. While exercising is extremely important, knowing how to exercise safely is much more imperative in the long run. All activities can be performed safely with the correct guidance and understanding of each individual’s exercise tolerance levels.

Conversely, a sedentary lifestyle

can also be detrimental for an individual. Lack of movement or exercise causes the lower back to become stiff and rigid. When there is inactivity, recovery efforts slow down and can even make a condition worse. Sedentary lifestyles essentially teach the body’s core to be in “idle mode”, not necessarily doing anything. It is important to incorporate movement into daily life so as to not have your lower back freeze up and cause even more unmanageable pain.

Other factors such as stress, diet, smoking, and more

can also influence lower back pain. Since stress alters our body’s natural ability to relax and remain at equilibrium, the lower back can tense up and stay tense. An individual’s diet has a direct effect on the lower back, as weight gain can increase the amount of pressure placed on the lower back. Smoking is never beneficial, especially when it comes to lower back pain. Smokers are nearly three times as likely to have lower back pain than their non-smoking counterparts. Smoking calls for the narrowing of blood vessels and thus cuts off the circulation of blood to vertebrae, which can be as painful as it sounds.
