Chiropractic Care Chiropractic Care is the function of realigning or resetting the body to proper balance, in order to facilitate its built-in ability to repair itself. This can take place in a number of ways. Doctors of chiropractic use the same time-honored methods of consultation, case history, physical examination, laboratory analysis and x-ray examination as any other doctor. In addition, they provide a careful chiropractic structural examination, paying particular attention to the spine. DTS Spinal Decompression DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy is a pain-free alternative that has shown a very high rate of success at reducing or even eliminating back and neck pain. If you suffer from chronic, debilitating, low back or neck pain, you owe it to yourself to call our office today to make an appointment to see if you’re a candidate for DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy.Please see the detailed information page entitled Spinal Decompression. Massage Therapy Massage is one of the oldest, simplest forms of therapy. The benefits of Massage Therapy reach from stress-induced pain to muscular tension following an injury or trauma. The manipulation of the body’s soft tissue to relieve areas of tension also works to reach optimal balance for whole-body health. Its affect is both short term and long-term, as it provides tension relief while also normalizing circulatory, muscular and nervous systems network function. Our doctors continuously communicate with our massage therapists regarding your pain or condition ensuring the most beneficial results from your massage. X-Ray Services Your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to either rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you.  An X-ray can help determine the best course of treatment if you have had an injury or accident. If an X-ray is necessary, patients are able to obtain them onsite. Physiotherapy Ultra-sound, muscle stimulation, traction, heat and ice treatments may be indicated for your condition and may be a part of your treatment program.

McKenzie Therapy The McKenzie Therapy has rapidly and successfully treated millions of people worldwide.  It reduces and eliminates back, neck and extremity pain of spinal origin.  Many times, extremity pain is originating from the neck or back.  Please see the detailed information page on this effective therapy for your back and neck pain.  McKenzieTherapy  Custom Orthotics Orthotics help your feet maintain their structural and functional balance as you stand, walk, or run, by keeping your feet in a stable position throughout the day. Custom-made orthotics are specially made just for your feet and for your unique postural condition. By supporting your feet and correcting their alignment, orthotics enhance shock absorption, improve muscle function and minimize the stress that very often causes foot deformity and pain.  Graston Therapy The Graston Technique enhances the doctor’s ability to detect scar tissue or restrictions in the affected areas. Scar tissue limits range of motion, and in many instances causes pain, which prevents the patient from functioning as he or she did before the injury.  This therapy, as well as the Active Release Therapy described below, effectively treats headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, foot pain and many other conditions. Our doctors use Graston instruments to comb over and "catch" on scar tissue, which immediately identifies the areas of restriction. Once the tissue has been identified, the instruments are used to break up the scar tissue so it can be absorbed by the body. Clinical studies continue to document the success of the Graston Technique. Historically, the Graston Technique has resolved 87% or more of all conditions treated. This therapy achieves better outcomes when compared to traditional therapies and resolves injuries that have failed to respond to other therapies.    Active Release Therapy ART is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles. Each of these factors can cause your body to produce tough, dense scar tissue in the affected area. This scar tissue binds up and ties down tissues that need to move freely. As scar tissue builds up, muscles become shorter and weaker and nerves can become trapped. This can cause reduced range of motion, loss of strength, and pain. If a nerve is trapped you may also feel tingling, numbness, and weakness. The doctor uses his or her hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements. These treatment protocols - over 500 specific moves - are unique to ART. They allow our doctors to identify and correct the specific problems that are affecting each individual patient.  Metagenics For over 20 years, Metagenics has been the most trusted name in professional nutritional supplements. Metagenics is one of the few professional nutritional supplement providers that manufacture formulas in their own facility that is independently certified for Good Manufacturing Practices —the ultimate mark of quality manufacturing.

You will notice the difference. Liquid supplements do not need to be dissolved by the body; in fact, absorption of liquid supplements begins in the mouth. Tablets are estimated to offer between 10-40% absorption, while liquids are estimated to offer 80-90% or higher. Also in the manufacturing process, tablets must be heated and some nutrients are subject to destruction when heated. Liquid Health™ Products are cold processed. Liquid Health™ has continued to introduce high quality products, drawing on the knowledge of experts in the health foods industry nationwide.  Health Direct It is Health Direct’s goal “To empower the health and lives of people by providing safe, guaranteed result-oriented, high quality, and unique health products at affordable prices.” Health Direct currently markets its own exclusive nutritional supplements.
