Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts which is based upon the understanding that good health depends, in part, upon a normally functioning nervous system (especially the spine, and the nerves extending from the spine to all parts of the body). "Chiropractic" comes from the Greek word Chiropraktikos, meaning "effective treatment by hand." Chiropractic stresses the idea that the cause of many disease processes begins with the body's inability to adapt to its environment. It looks to address these diseases not by the use of drugs and chemicals, but by locating and adjusting a musculoskeletal area of the body which is functioning improperly. Through our holistic approach of chiropractic, acupuncture, and deep tissue work, we focus on detecting misalignments in the spine, and then work to release this stored tension resulting in increased energy levels, improved co-ordination of body systems, a stronger immune system, and clearer thinking. Some of the benefits of chiropractic care are:

• lncreases circulation
• lncreases flexibility
• Better nervous system function - which controls every aspect of your body
• Better immune system function - fight off disease naturally
• Reduces soreness & pain
• lncreases delivery of oxygen and nutrients
• Reduces chance of injury
• Reduces muscle spasms
• lncreases training effectiveness
• Helps the body to relax and repair

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is among the oldest healing practices in the world. As part of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture aims to restore and maintain health through the stimulation of specific points on the body. Acupuncture has been effectively used for the treatment of back pain, headache, migraine, and sports injuries. However, acupuncture provides more than pain relief. It is helpful in treating anxiety, insomnia, digestive problems, abdominal, menstrual cramps, weight control, infertility and much, much more. Some of the benefits of acupuncture are:

• It provides energy, strength and vitality to a recovering patient.
• It works to boost the immune system.
• Patients seem to recover faster as a result of continuous acupuncture sessions.
• Acupuncture has been proven to improve the body’s circulation and in some cases, even reduce stress symptoms.

Deep Tissue Work

As its name implies, deep tissue work is the manual treatment of deep anatomical structures. The work is slow, deep, and very specific - working either parallel with or perpendicular to the targeted muscles, tendons, or ligaments. Contrary to a widely held myth, deep tissue work doesn't have to hurt to be effective. Those suffering from certain conditions may also find deep tissue work to be quite therapeutic. Sufferers of chronic pain, fibromyalgia, edema, muscle cramping, and even carpal tunnel syndrome may find significant relief from deep tissue work. The therapeutic stretching of different groups of muscle tissue helps to improve strength, range of motion and flexibility. Among the many benefits of deep tissue work:

• reduce pain
• reduce muscle hyper tonicity, tension, and spasm
• promote circulation (of both blood and lymph)

Lifestyle Recommendations

We are faced everyday with choices that can positively or negatively affect our health and performance. Some lifestyle choices that can positively affect your health are obvious - not smoking, daily exercise, prudent eating and consuming a moderate amount of alcohol. However, there are other choices that are not so obvious - proper ergonomics in the office to help reduce neck and back pain, or specific stretches that target certain muscle groups to help reduce spasms and pain. We are committed to assisting you in your journey towards optimum health and performance by recommending positive and effective lifestyle choices.
