Additional Services
Wellness is a system, not a technique
FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
Data-driven lifestyle change
Using blood tests, urinalysis, and other specialized laboratory testing is how we determine the following:
-
WHAT specifically needs to change? e.g diet type, supplements, food elimination, etc.
-
HOW MUCH change is necessary for a clinical outcome. Are you taking too much or too little?
-
TRANSFORMATIONAL STEPS necessary to make meaningful outcome.
Endonasal Release
Chiropractic for craniofacial tension
By applying a unique balloon inflation technique into the nasal cavity, we are able to release cranial tension which have been known to produce symptoms like facial pressure, headaches, and head pressure after injuries to the head and neck.
Acupuncture
A unique adjunct to our care
Acupuncture stimulates internal changes. Using traditional needle technique, our Acupuncturists can work in collaboration with any ongoing Chiropractic care you are receiving in order to create therapeutic synergy.
CORRECTIVE EXERCISE
Challenges that lead to change.
Our part is to get you feeling better to improve your body's function. Your part is to keep it from falling apart! We believe strongly in exercise as a necessary therapeutic activity for all ages, all conditions. Strength and function, when properly dosed and repeated will stimulate your biochemistry, immune system, cognition, and so much more than mere posture changes.
Massage Therapy
Bodywork is essential
Therapeutic massage helps regulate stress hormones like Cortisol. It also releases tension that is hard to reach. Our Massage Therapists become more effective as they get to know your body's pain patterns and function over time.
radiology
X-ray services on-site
X-rays are performed on an as-needed basis only. When your condition has a complicated history, your doctors can discuss if this procedure is medically indicated and appropriate in order to provide you with the best care possible.
