Chiropractic & Physical Rehab
Restoring and Maintaining Optimum Health

Chiropractors are healthcare providers who specialize in restoring joint function and freeing nerve pathways. Conditions treated by chiropractors are extremely varied. Care begins with a thorough examination and review of your history. X-ray, laboratory, or other diagnostic aids may be necessary depending on your needs.

An unhealthy spine causes a multitude of problems —pain, arthritis, disc herniations, scoliosis, etc. All of these can occur because of joint and/or nerve impingement. A pinched nerve can cause pain as well as disturb and alter the nerve signal from the brain to the body, not unlike a bad radio signal. This can result in a malfunction, decreasing the body’s ability to perform.

Regular Chiropractic Care helps you maintain a healthy spine. And a healthy spine encourages the body toward optimum health. Chiropractic Care addresses these and many other issues:

Rehabilitation

Our program allows you the option of in office supervised procedures, or for those of you that are self-disciplined we will minimize visits and teach you a home program that is easy to follow.

Cholesterol & Blood Pressure

Cholesterol
It may surprise you to know that cholesterol itself isn't bad. In fact, cholesterol is just one of the many substances created and used by our bodies to keep us healthy. There are two types of cholesterol: “good” and “bad.” It’s important to understand the difference, and to know the levels of “good” and “bad” cholesterol in your blood. Too much of one type — or not enough of another — can put you at risk for coronary heart disease, heart attack or stroke. Most people can make lifestyle changes to lower their cholesterol to prevent these risks. Some people may need medication but these may come at a price. The risks and side effects of these medications can cause permanent muscle damage and pain that can be debilitating. Healthy lifestyle changes can not only prevent you from having to be on these medications but can improve your overall health and quality of life. See how we can help you make healthy lifestyle changes.

Blood Pressure
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a widely misunderstood medical condition. Some people think that those with hypertension are tense, nervous or hyperactive, but hypertension has nothing to do with personality traits. The truth is, you can be a calm, relaxed person and still have high blood pressure. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can injure or kill you. It's sometimes called "the silent killer" because high blood pressure has no symptoms, so you may not be aware that it's damaging your arteries, heart and other organs. Making healthy lifestyle changes can help lower your blood pressure without having to depend on medication. Stop by for a free blood pressure check today.

Fibromyalgia
People who suffer from fibromyalgia are plagued by persistent pain and chronic fatigue. These symptoms can make it difficult to shop for, prepare, and eat wholesome and nutritious meals. Nevertheless, a healthy diet is very important in helping people with fibromyalgia counteract stress, detoxify the body, and restore nutrients to the areas that need them the most. Vitamin and mineral supplements are also beneficial for treatment. Specific exercises can help restore muscle balance and may reduce pain. Stretching techniques and the application of hot or cold also may help. There is no one treatment for Fibromyalgia. An all encompassing treatment protocol must be used in order to effectively reduce the pain associated with Fibromyalgia.

The ideal treatment would involve the following:
• Chiropractic adjustments
• Nutritional Supplementation and Dietary Changes
• Exercise
• Reduce Muscular Stress through Massage, Acupuncture and/or Flexibility Program

In conclusion...Fibromyalgia is a real condition, and it is treatable!

Massage
Massage Therapy is the direct manipulation of the soft tissues of the body. Massage Therapy can be used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including sports injuries, asthma, muscular conditions, PMS, lower back pain, arthritis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, stress and many others.
Therapeutic Massage doesn't just feel good, it reduces the heart rate and blood pressure, improves functioning of the blood circulation and lymph flow, improves range of motion, improves the muscular, skeletal and nervous systems and may improve the rate at which the body recovers from injury and illness.

Together, massage and chiropractic work to treat patients naturally and holistically.

The Benefits of Massage:
• Enhanced healing time when combined with Chiropractic Care
• Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body’s natural defense system
• Improve the condition of the body’s largest organ—the skin
• Reduced muscle pain and tension
• Increased flexibility & decreased stiffness
• Improves circulation, which increases blood flow, bringing fresh oxygen to body tissues
• Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation
