Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic is a health discipline that addresses the neuromusculoskeletal system in a holistic manner. Many common problems are caused by dysfunction in the muscles, joints and nerves, or a combination of those. Chiropractic doctors are trained to analyze the relationship between muscles, joints and nerves in order to determine the source of physical pain. With this knowledge, chiropractors address the source of the problem to relieve present pain and prevent future pain.

What can Chiropractic care do for you?

Low back pain: Four out of five people will experience low back pain in their lifetime and the majority of those will have at least one recurrence. Most cases of low back pain are uncomplicated and mechanical in nature and can be resolved within a few treatments.   Neck pain: From chronic neck and shoulder tightness to acute neck pain with limited movement to one side, Chiropractic is an extremely effective treatment. The relief is often instant and patients will report immediate increased range of motion ("I can look over my shoulder!")
Rib pain: The ribs are attached to the spine with a costovertebral joint, and this joint moves with bending, twisting and breathing. When the costovertebral joint is locked or 'goes out', the result is often very sharp and painful. It can even hurt just to cough or breathe! This is a bothersome problem, which can often be dramatically eased with a specific rib adjustment.   Shoulder / Rotator Cuff: Shoulder injuries are easy to treat. Most shoulder injuries are due to repetitive stress and can be resolved with specific muscle stripping and exercises. Other helpful tools include ultrasound and electrical stimulation. Many people don't realize that their shoulder problems may be caused by restricted and faulty spinal movement. Take care of your shoulder pain immediately!
Pinched nerve: Our spine houses the spinal cord - a collection of nerves running from the brain to different parts of the body. When a vertebral joint is locked or inflamed, the associated nerves along their course can become painful. Once a nerve is activated, pain can be felt anywhere along the pathway; sciatic pain originating in the lower back can be felt in the buttocks and even in the legs and feet.   Headaches: Many headache sufferers find relief with Chiropractic care. Restricted neck joint movement and spastic muscles can cause headaches, which are fairly simple to solve! Why take pain medication daily if you don't have to?

Acupuncture

Acupuncture treats the human body as a holistic system. Disease is understood as an imbalance within this system. Treatment is a return to balance. By insertion of single use, sterile, hair-fine needles the flow of Qi "vital energy" is attuned throughout the body. To paraphrase from the Huangdi Neijing, "No pain, no blockage; no blockage, no pain."

Conditions commonly treated with acupuncture:

 

Cosmetic Acupuncture

What is it? Acupuncture has a long history as a method of enhancing one's health and beauty. Acupuncture has been adapted to include the treatment of lines, wrinkles, acne and other aesthetic concerns in what is called facial rejuvenation. This system has become a popular alternative to cosmetic surgery and injections. Cosmetic acupuncture uses the body's own resources to increase blood circulation and collagen production in the face to lift sagging skin, clear acne prone skin and decrease the look of lines and wrinkles.


How does it work? A treatment involves the insertion of fine needles placed in acupoints on the body to treat systemic problems and support the body. Then extremely small and fine needles are used on the face. This treatment increases collagen production and blood circulation in the face causing lines and wrinkles to fill in naturally and smooth the complexion.


Treatment: A course of treatment is 10-12 ministrations once or twice a week. After the initial course of treatment is complete,  monthly maintenance is suggested to maintain its effect. One can choose to repeat the 10-12 treatments as they see fit.
