Our Services
Physical Examination | Blood & Urine Testing | EKG
Physical examinations and testing are recommended to accurately diagnose each individual condition or complaint. This will lead us to accurate diagnosis or find potential disease or disease tendencies before they become damaging. Physical examinations are also recommended before beginning any exercise programs.
Chiropractic Manipulation | Physiotherapy
A unique treatment performed by a chiropractic physician to reduce spinal injuries or pain is the adjustment, or manipulation, of specific vertebrae or joints. Manipulation is the specific mobilization of one or more vertebrae that have been found through examination to be lacking proper mobility, function or nerve stimulation. There are numerous techniques used by your Natural Health Physician to aid in the healing process.
Nutritional Supplementation & Dietary Counseling | Herbal Therapy
Vitamins, minerals, herbal supplements and other food factors are often included in the term “nutritional supplementation”. With the increasing number of scientific studies being performed, there is a greater acceptance and preference for natural remedies and wellness support.
Acupuncture | Traction
The Center’s acupuncture department addresses various disorders such allergies, anxiety, muscle spasms and pain. Acupuncture is an integral part of a complete system of natural health and healing.
Tracing its existence in Asia for more than 5,000 years, acupuncture has proven to be both safe and effective in medicine.
Postural Strength | Exercise Rehabilitation
Postural strength is vital to our wellbeing. Home offices have become the new normal since COVID. Poor posture and ergonomics have become the fallout endemic. Your Natural Health Physician can assess your posture and fix the pain it may be creating as well as prepare personal exercises to combat or prevent further changes. This will not only help for home office use but also for life and appearances as you age.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy includes the rubbing and kneading of skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments to manage health conditions or enhance wellness. Massage therapy at consistent intervals is a good investment in health.
Case Studies
This specific case left a 53-year-old patient unable to walk, sit or sleep comfortably. The combined treatments resolved the condition and helped the patient avoid surgery.
Multiple patients over the years have complained of occipital pain (base of skull) and forehead pain. The majority of these headaches are resolved and controlled by preventative care.
This condition is seen in all ages, though it can be more acute in patients who are in their 30s and 40s and more chronic as they age. It is generally taken care of with manipulation, flexion distraction, physiotherapy such as ultrasound, and exercise.
Lower back pain is commonly caused by participation in sports, including soccer, horseback riding, volleyball, basketball and more. Young patients often respond quickly with manipulation, interferential physiotherapy and, if needed, a home exercise program.
These patients have complaints such as constipation, diarrhea, bloating and/or abdominal distress. Treatment generally includes lifestyle changes, supplementation for gut healing, motility and reducing inflammation as needed.
This specific case was assessed with a blood test to evaluate thyroid, iron and blood sugar levels as possible causes. Treatment suggestions included iron supplementation, adrenal management and thyroid support. Acupuncture for anxiety was available if needed.
