Chiropractic Care
We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. Our chiropractors have many years of training and experience in spinal adjustment.
Corrective Exercises
We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.
Lifestyle Advice
We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.
Nutritional Counseling
We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? We can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.
Postural Analysis
Posture analysis can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. Have you looked at your posture lately?
There is nothing good about bad posture! Besides the obvious physical changes of stooped shoulders, belly "pooch" and inward shoulder rotation, things are happening on the inside we can't see but we can definitely feel. The list of posture associated with poor posture is almost endless. They include: TMJ pain, neck pain, tension headaches, pain between the shoulders, shoulder pain, decreased range of motion, lower back pain, hip joint pain, knee pain and foot pain
Physiotherapy
To complement and enhance the healing effects of chiropractic, we also provide the following therapeutic procedures:
- GrastonŽ Technique
- Ultrasound
- Interferential electrical muscle stimulation
- Mechanical traction
- Cryotherapy
- Moist heat therapy
- Exercise Rehabilitation
AND we also offer the following services:
- Bone Density Screening
- BIA (bio electrical impedance) Bodyfat Analysis
- Custom Orthotics (Biomechanical Services)
- Gait Analysis/Run Analysis
- GrastonŽ Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization Technique
Bone Density Screening
The average primary care doctor sees 54 women a week over the age of 50.
- Of these 54 women, 30% have osteoporosis!
- The current average of the number of patients diagnosed with osteoporosis per week is only ONE.
- 25 Million people have osteoporosis in this country .... and don't know it! 44.5 Million more are at risk
- Osteoporosis leads to 1.5 million fractures each year.
- $18 BILLION is spent on treating those fractures.
- 300,000 hip fractures occur each year.
- 250,000 wrist fractures occur each year.
- 500,000 spinal fractures occur each year.
- 50% of the people suffering from a hip fracture won't walk again.
- 20% of the people suffering a hip fracture die within one year.
- A women's risk of developing a hip fracture is equal to her combined risk of developing breast, uterine AND ovarian cancer.
- A Gallup survey of women ages 45-75 indicates that 3 out of 4 women have never spoken to a doctor about osteoporosis.
- 250 Million women WORLDWIDEhave osteoporosis now.
- By the year 2020, the number of women affected will double.
- Osteoporosis is a " SILENT" disease that can be deforming and painful.

Bone densitometry is a noninvasive technology that is used to measure bone mass. Bone mass, simply put, is the weight of the skeleton, overall or in specific regions. Bone mineral density, or BMD, reveals a risk factor for fractures. BMD is usually expressed as the amount of mineralized tissue in the area scanned (g/cm2); with some technologies it is expressed as the amount per volume of bone (g/cm3). A bone density more than 2.5 standard deviations below the young adult reference population indicates osteoporosis, a disease occurring most often (but not exclusively) among women after the menopause in which the bones become very porous, break easily, and heal slowly.
Osteoporosis
In the United States, osteoporosis affects over 25 million people, and is associated with more than 1.3 million fractures annually. The prevention, detection and treatment of osteoporosis will become an increasingly important medical concern for the next decade, as the American population ages in record numbers. Bone measurement tests are simple, painless and cost-effective, usually costing less than $200. Increased reimbursement for screening would have a direct impact on the the billions of dollars a year spent on direct medical costs for osteoporosis and related fractures.
Why get tested?
Currently, bone densitometry tests are the only accurate measurements of bone mass and fracture risk. Bone mass cannot be deduced accurately from any other clinical data, and risk factors for osteoporosis based on medical history or physical examination are not good predictors of bone mass.
Bone mass measurements also influence the choice of therapy. Bone mass measurements can influence clinical decisions in four key indications: to decide about hormone replacement therapy in estrogen deficient women, to diagnose spinal osteoporosis, to adjust therapy of patients on long-term glucocorticoids, and to decide about surgery in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.
Bone mass measurements should lead to fracture reduction. Bone loss is the only risk factor for fracture that can be manipulated in mid-life to achieve fracture reduction later. Bone loss can be reduced by treatment, but it is difficult, if not impossible, to restore the biomechanical competence of the skeleton once bone has been lost because bone architecture has been disrupted. Thus, bone loss must be prevented, which needs to be done sooner rather than later in life.
