It is most important to balance the entire body to eliminate the direct causes of illness, rather than merely to provide temporary relief to patients’ symptoms. Whether your problem is due to a car accident, an industrial injury, a chronic, on-going degenerative condition or repetitive sports injury we want to be able to provide help for you with our holistic approach to health and disease.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is a natural, hands-on, health service that helps clear spinal misalignment and abnormal movement resulting in nerve malfunction. This nerve malfunction can then affect normal muscle, joint, organ and gland function within our bodies.
Chiropractic adjustment removes internal interference making way for your body to repair, replace and create new tissue. Chiropractic care helps you to recover to your most optimum capacity. Remember, your body has to heal itself.
A multiplicity of adjusting techniques, both regular and light, are specifically tailored to your needs, according to your condition.
Applied Kinesiology
Postural distortion is usually associated with muscles that test weak. Applied kinesiology uses muscle testing to examine how a person’s body is functioning. When muscles test weak, diagnostic examinations help determine why that muscle is not functioning properly. In some cases, tests may be conducted to determine environmental or food sensitivities by using a previously strong muscle to find what weakens it.
Applied kinesiology draws together the core elements of many complementary therapies including specific joint manipulation or mobilization, cranial techniques, meridian therapy, clinical nutrition, dietary management, various myofascial therapies and reflex procedures. Applied kinesiology uses the triad of health - chemical, mental and structural factors - to describe the proper balance of the major health categories.
Active Isolated Stretching
Active Isolated Stretching was developed by Aaron Mattes and is a stretching protocol based on sound physiological principles. Stretches are muscle and joint specific as flexibility is joint specific. Active Isolated Stretching opens up “frozen” connective tissue including the deep fascial planes. Active Isolated Stretching increases the body’s potential to heal, enhances an individual’s posture and ability to move correctly. It is effective in injury prevention and rehabilitation, and improves athletic performance.
