Treatments and Services Offered

• Chiropractic -
  Chiropractic is a health care discipline, which emphasizes the amazing self-healing powers of the body to repair itself without the use of drugs or invasive surgery. Chiropractic engages your own healing abilities to stabilize joints and return function to your back, neck, wrists, knees, ankles, arms and legs. It keeps your nervous system, which controls your whole body including organs, from being over or under stimulated. In effect it keeps your body from wearing prematurely and keeps you functioning at an optimal level and feeling great.

• Flexion/Distraction Table -
  This specific chiropractic technique utilizes a special table where the spine is tractioned and flexed forward. This method primarily treats cervical and lumbar disc hermiations, leg and arm pain, and increases mobility of spinal joints with a gentle motion.

This technique has the power to reverse a herniated disc condition of the lower back or neck in many cases, and thereby prevent back or neck surgeries.

• Scoliosis Screening -
  Scoliosis is a sideways curving of the spine that often begins during childhood. Early detection in children will allow for straightening of the spine as the child grows. Unfortunately the most common treatment approach has been to wait and see how bad it gets leading to unsightly braces or eventually surgery. Our approach is to use specific spinal adjustments combined with corrective exercises. We have had excellent results with scoliosis cases in childhood , when the bones of the spine are still growing.
