Services We Provide

CHIROPRACTIC

Chiropractic champions a natural method of healing advocating a non-surgical, non-invasive, and drugless approach to the treatment of patients. We view each patient not just a collection of parts, but as a wondrously complex whole. Therefore, our doctors focus on full spine and extremity care, muscular assessment, and rehabilitative exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle. 

PEDIATRICS

Although chiropractic care is important for people of all ages, it is especially important for infants and children. Our care for infants and children is safe, gentle, and often necessary for optimal growth and development. An early introduction into chiropractic can manage, correct, or even prevent many common newborn health complaints such as colic, breathing problems, nursing difficulties, sleep disturbances, and ear infections. As the child matures, intermittent care can assure proper growth and development of his or her whole body. Pediatric chiropractic care may be the most important service we provide. 

Dr. Elise Hewitt has a more extensive website describing her role as a pediatric chiropractor on her website. Be sure to check her out.

SPORTS CHIROPRACTIC

Most common sports conditions such as strains and sprains, bursitis, tendonitis and pronation have a crucial biomechanical component that we can address. Upper extremity (shoulder/arm/hand) and lower extremity (hip/knee/foot) conditions respond quickly to our thorough care. In fact, we’ve found that integrating extremity care and spinal care results in optimal full body function.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHANGES

Integrating healthful lifestyle guidance into your overall treatment plan is one of the most important services we provide because lifestyle changes are the first line of defense for the major chronic diseases in our society, such as heart disease, arthritis, osteoporosis and many others. That plus a dose of postural awareness and you’re in the game for the long run.

NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING

We like the saying, “you are what you eat” because your health, right now and over the course of your life, is dramatically affected by your diet. We’re not here to count calories or point accusatory fingers, but we are here to help you understand how your food choices integrate into your health.

MASSAGE

Our massage is doctor-prescribed and doctor-supervised (and sometimes covered by insurance!). Our five licensed massage therapists utilize many different techniques such as Swedish, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release and Trigger Point massage that feel good while resolving problems at the soft tissue level.

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY

Lynn Edeline, LMT uses this light-touch therapy to address restrictions in the craniosacral system. This oft unheard of system directly impacts the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) where imbalances may cause sensory, motor, neurological, and emotional/behavioral trouble. Comprehensive spinal care must include this relaxing and quieting type of treatment. 

REHABILITATIVE EXERCISES

It’s no secret the increasing your strength and flexibility will add to the benefit of your care. Since we want you to get better as quickly as possible, our doctors employ various techniques of stretching, strengthening, and neuromuscular re-education throughout your treatment plan. All exercises are not created equal, so we focus on tailoring your rehabilitation to meet your specific needs. 

PHYSIOTHERAPY

You may not know that chiropractors do physiotherapy to assist in your healing process. We utilize ultrasound, hot or cold packs, electrical muscle stimulation, and other methods to protect you from further aggravation, relieve pain, or just push the natural body processes in the right direction.
