Chiropractic Health Care The word chiropractic means to do by hand, and it is a natural form of health care with primary expertise and emphasis on the neuromusculoskeletal (nerves, muscles, bones/ joints) system of the body. Chiropractic theory is based in the belief that the body has the innate ability to heal itself. People of all ages can benefit from chiropractic health care, from pediatrics to elders. Our philosophy is to address the body as a whole and not just the sum of its parts or symptoms, which is done through comprehensive care. Care begins with a thorough history and physical evaluation, which may be followed by imaging, blood work, or referrals as needed. Treatment plans are then created based on individual needs.

Chiropractic Adjustments The goal of the chiropractic adjustment is to correct joint dysfunction in the body, which is evaluated by the trained hands of a chiropractic physician. Joint dysfunction is a mechanical joint problem resulting from derangement of the joint and its tissues = the joint becomes restricted or isn’t moving correctly. An adjustment is a manually applied (Dr’s hands) controlled force into joints and tissues that have become restricted. Adjustments restore mobility, decrease pain, inflammation, and tightness, which then allow the tissues to heal.

Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation Pain is often a result of an imbalance in the body due to joint restrictions, muscle spasms, strains, sprains, stress, slumped posture, and scarring from old injuries and surgeries. We use techniques that relax and relieve adhesions and scar tissue in tight and tired muscles. Ultimately this will decrease pain, increase flexibility, function and range of motion leading to injury prevention. • Graston Soft Tissue Technique • Rehabilitative exercises & stretches • electrical muscle stimulation & therapeutic ultrasound • soft tissue manipulation/myofascial/trigger point release • taping/ bracing/orthotics prescriptions • sports physicals

Natural & Nutritional Medicine Whether adults or children need to decrease pain & inflammation, boost the immune system, support digestion or prevent the development of co-morbid diseases like diabetes, heart disease and hypertension, changes in diet and lifestyle will increase your energy, health, and well-being. We offer natural and efficient treatments for congested sinuses and ears that flush and drain congestion in the sinuses and relieve pressure and encourage drainage from inner ear infections. • Nutritional/ lifestyle counseling & supplementation • whole body/liver cleanses • blood work for wellness/disease screening • Transitions Lifestyle System: Healthy weight management program
