Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care uses targeted adjustments to optimize nervous system function and alleviate pain without drugs or surgery. By correcting spinal misalignments, we address conditions like migraines, sciatica, and chronic pain while promoting overall wellness. Patients benefit from improved mobility, reduced inflammation, and enhanced bodily communication through this natural, evidence-based approach.
Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
Specially adapted chiropractic techniques support maternal wellness throughout pregnancy. By relieving spinal pressure and optimizing pelvic alignment, we ease discomfort, improve mobility, and prepare the body for labor. This safe, non-invasive care addresses common pregnancy-related issues like back pain while promoting better fetal positioning for delivery.
Motion Study X-Rays
Advanced motion study X-rays capture spinal movement in weight-bearing positions, providing precise diagnostic insights. This technology enables accurate identification of subluxations and structural imbalances, guiding personalized treatment plans. By visualizing dynamic spinal mechanics, we achieve more effective, long-term corrections compared to static imaging methods.
Food Sensitivity Testing
Using Alletess Medical Laboratory's finger-prick analysis, we identify food sensitivities through IgG antibody testing. This 96- or 184-panel assessment reveals inflammatory triggers affecting digestion, energy levels, and overall health. Patients receive actionable dietary guidance to reduce chronic symptoms and improve wellness through targeted nutritional changes.
Thermography
Digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI) detects physiological changes through heat pattern analysis. This non-radiation screening tool monitors inflammation, nerve activity, and vascular health. Monthly breast thermography services offer complementary insights to mammography, while full-body scans assess systemic wellness patterns for preventive care strategies.
