- Chiropractic aligning
Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. By utilizing myofacial (muscle) work, breathing and stretching, adjustments are more comfortable and more effective than ever before. Chiropractic adjustments work with your body to re-balance the spine and central nervous system. Adjustment techniques are customized to the individual and include the following:
- Diversified, Thompson, Sacral occipital technique, Activator, Nimmo trigger point, Myofacial release, Pre-natal Webster technique and Applied kinesiology
- Pre-natal Chiropractic body work - Pregnancy is an important time to re -establish balance to your body's frame. Over 50% of women experience back pain and discomfort during pregnancy. Special pampering is given to the pregnant patient. Pre-natal techniques use myofacial and trigger point work to release tension and un-tie knotty muscles which form from the rapid change of your body's shape. Then gentle adjustments are used to re-align the spine and pelvis, taking pressure off of the nervous system and providing a more comfortable and pain-free pregnancy. Our special tables have a drop away piece to support your belly in comfort.

- Ergonomic and Postural Assessments - Restore balance to your workspace People create imbalances and tension in their bodies every day just going through their daily routines. For many people the source is their workspace and what they're doing in that space all day long. Assessments start with a full history of any physical injuries or discomforts and includes an OSHA guideline physical assessment of desk, chair, monitor, keyboard, mouse, phone and other equipment. Then we look at how the person is situated in their workspace all day long... how are they sitting, are they reaching or leaning forward? Are their shoulders frequently up by thier ears? Even the best ergonomic workspace set-up can wreak havoc on your body if you are not using it properly. We can usually make some immediate changes and give recommendations for posture, stretches and strengthening as well as timing for breaks. The assessment is followed up with a full report of all recommendations and needed changes.
