We focus on providing non-surgical/drug-free treatment combining adjustments, physiotherapy, modalities, rehabilitation and cold laser treatments. Why mask the pain when you can find and treat the cause of the problem?
Adjustments
Using the latest techniques, our adjustments are comfortable, safe and effective. We specialize in Diversified, Thompson Segmental Drop and Activator techniques and will customize our treatment to your specific condition.
Cold Laser
Using the latest techniques available, our Erchonia cold laser treatments have helped many with healing a multitude of problems. Some of the conditions we have had great results with include spinal joint pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, neuropathies, joint pains in general, loss of range of motion, headaches, muscle spasms, psoriasis, acne, disc herniations and radiating or traveling pains. (radiculopathies) This low level laser is the first low level laser to be approved by the F.D.A.. Burn centers are now implementing this low level laser therapy to help speed the healing process and control the extreme pain that burn patients experience. Please refer to www.erchonia.com for more research and information.
Pediatrics
Another area of wellness focuses on children. Today’s parents are more concerned than ever about the health of their children. They are also concerned about the adverse effects that drugs have on a child’s health. Parents are increasingly asking, when handed a prescription for a child’s recurrent problem, “Is this really all I can do for my child? Is there a safer alternative?” The desire to achieve a state of true health has led parents to seek health care options which support their children’s own natural ability to be healthy. Chiropractic care is one such option. All children function better with 100% nerve function. All children deserve the right to express their fullest potential. Chiropractic care for children is safe, gentle and effective.
Surface EMG
NASA Developed Technology Analyzes Muscle Tension
In order to achieve a level of optimal health, you need to maintain a healthy spine and nervous system. Our state of the art equipment allows us to test the health of your nervous system. This computerized nerve and muscle scan shows red where your nervous system is in a severe chaos, pink for moderate chaos and green for normal. When there is interference in your nervous system, your body cannot function at its highest ability. This objective analysis allows us to determine where the areas of interference are present in your body. This scan is similar to an EKG which measures heart muscle activity. It is totally safe for infants, children, pregnant women or seniors, is not painful and the test just takes a few minutes.
Therapy
As an adjunct to the adjustment, we utilize the most current therapies available including ultrasound and interferential, a type of muscle stimulation. Therapies help the function of the adjustment by reducing muscle spasm or tightness, by reducing pain/inflammation and by promoting the healing process.
Carpal Tunnel
The major nerve controlling the thumb, index, and parts of the middle, and ring finger is called the median nerve. From the tip of your fingers, it travels through the bones in your wrist, past your elbow, up your arm, through your shoulder and neck, and finally to your spinal cord. Problems can develop in one or more of these areas.
Disc
The disc is a small cartilage pad that is situated between spinal bones. The soft jellylike center is contained by layers of fibrous tissues. Each disc serves as a connector, spacer, and shock absorber for the spine. When healthy, discs allow normal turning and bending.
Extremeties
When joint function is impaired, there is reduced range of motion, inflammation, calcium buildup, and scar tissue. This can be caused from repetitive motions, improper sitting, overexertion, slips, falls, accidents, and other causes. Awareness of these types of problems has become more common with terms like "tennis elbow", "runner's knee", "frozen shoulder", and "carpal tunnel syndrome."
Headache
When bones of the spine lose their normal position or motion, sensitive nerves and blood vessels to the head can be affected. When spinal nerves and related tissues are stretched or irritated they can produce throbbing headaches. Aspirin and medications may cover up these warning signs, but do not correct the underlying structural cause.
Lower Back
Many of the pain-sensing nerves of the spine are in the facet joints, the two interlocking "fingers" at the back of each spinal bone. The normally smooth surfaces on which these joints glide, can become rough, irritated, and inflamed.
Neck Pain
Neck pain isn't caused by a lack of aspirin or drugs!
The chiropractic approach to neck pain is to locate its underlying cause. This begins with a complete case history and thorough examination. Special attention is given to the structure and function of the spine, and its affect on the nervous system.
Sciatica
The sciatic nerves are the largest (and longest) nerves of the body, reaching about the size of your thumb in diameter, and running down the back of each leg. When these nerves are irritated or affected by the inflammation of nearby soft tissues, doctors refer to this as sciatica.
Scoliosis
Spinal bones continue to grow well into the early 20s, if left uncorrected, scoliosis often worsens. Traditional approaches attempt to correct the problem by immobilizing the spine with braces. Unfortunately, the most common treatment approach has been to wait and see how bad it gets, resorting to unsightly braces, or eventually surgery, if it progresses too far.
Stress
It may not be possible to remove the stress from a busy life. However, with the help of your chiropractic doctor, you can respond better to the unique challenges you face.
Whiplash
Whiplash is most commonly received from riding in a car that is struck from behind or that collides with another object. When the head is suddenly jerked back and forth beyond its normal limits, the muscles and ligaments supporting the spine and head can be overstretched or torn. The soft, pulpy discs between spinal bones can bulge, tear or rupture. Vertebrae can be forced out of their normal position, reducing range of motion. The spinal cord and nerve roots in the neck can get stretched and irritated. While the occupants can suffer considerable soft tissue injury, the car may be only slightly damaged. We have achieved tremendous results in treating the above conditions without the use of drugs or surgery. If you or someone you care for has been suffering, contact us to get your life back on track!
