Services
Spinal Adjusting
Our spinal adjustments use manual techniques, activator tools, and flexion-distraction methods to correct subluxations and improve nervous system function. Dr. Wilkens tailors each adjustment to patient comfort levels and specific conditions like back pain or sciatica. This drug-free approach helps restore mobility and reduce inflammation while supporting the body's natural healing processes.
Therapeutic Massage
Licensed massage therapy targets muscle tension and improves circulation to accelerate recovery from injuries or chronic pain. Combined with chiropractic adjustments, this therapy enhances treatment effectiveness by addressing both structural alignment and muscular imbalances. Sessions focus on specific problem areas identified during patient evaluations.
Nutritional Therapy
Personalized nutrition programs address dietary deficiencies and metabolic imbalances through whole-food based interventions. Using muscle response testing and symptom analysis, we identify food sensitivities and develop customized plans to manage conditions like diabetes, digestive disorders, and autoimmune issues while improving energy levels and overall wellness.
Physiotherapy Modalities
Advanced treatments including ultrasound, muscle stimulation, and Graston Technique break down scar tissue and reduce inflammation. These modalities prepare tissues for adjustments, speed recovery from sports injuries, and provide long-term pain relief by addressing both symptoms and underlying structural issues through non-invasive methods.
Clinical Nutrition Evaluation
Comprehensive evaluations combine lab work, symptom reviews, and muscle testing to identify nutritional deficiencies and sensitivities. This diagnostic process creates targeted supplementation plans and dietary strategies that support cellular function, addressing chronic conditions like hormonal imbalances and chronic fatigue through evidence-based nutritional interventions.
