At our full-service clinics, we integrate chiropractic care, physical therapy, exercises and stretches, along with massage techniques, to promote optimal healing. We believe it is important not only to reduce pain and symptoms, but also to give each patient individualized exercise, stretches and modifications to activities of daily living in order to eliminate and avoid recurrence or aggravation of the same problem. The chiropractic approach to healthcare focuses on the patient's overall health. We provide natural, drugless, nonsurgical health treatments, relying on the body's inherent recuperative abilities. Recognizing that many factors affect health, including exercise, diet, rest, environment, and heredity, we also work with patients on lifestyle changes that will improve their overall quality of life. Comprehensive EvaluationsFormal reports are dictated for each new patient and re-examination patient. These reports include history, physical examination, social/occupational history, past medical history, diagnosis, long- and short-term goals and treatment goals, and can be submitted to insurance companies. Custom-made OrthoticsAn orthotic device is designed to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position, creating a more normal function of the feet and legs by maintaining the body's angular relationships between the bones of the feet and legs. Prescription orthotics help realign the foot by redirecting and reducing certain motions that take place during the gait cycle. Since your feet are the foundation for your upper body, this new alignment often helps alleviate problems in other parts of the body. Orthotics are not recommended for everyone, but can be used as a tool to aid in optimal healing and reduction or recurrence of injuries. If you experience fatigue or tired legs during route activities or if your feet are "killing you," you may be a candidate for orthotics. We use Langer Biomechanics. Langer Biomechanics offers the widest selection of materials and orthotic device designs available to foot care specialists today. Only the highest quality materials and the latest knowledge about biomechanics go into each prescription orthotic. Sandals, including Birkenstock, are available. Nutritional CounselingDietary counseling is available on request. As a holistic physician, I believe in the power of good nutrition, and offer nutritional counseling, as well as vitamins and nutritional supplements of the highest purity and quality. Manufacturers include Metagenics,Designs for Health and Orthomolecular products. Blood work is available in the office in order to determine the exact nutritional needs of each patient. Sports Medicine/RehabilitationWhile athletes are at increased risk for sports injuries, they are also some of the healthiest and fittest people in the world. As a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and Chiropractic orthopedist, I help athletes return to their training and competition schedule as quickly as possible. After an injury, physical therapy is needed to restore normal function to a patient. Using state of the art techniques in the areas of chiropractic and orthopedics, we work with patients to giving them the effective, personalized care that leads to powerful results. WellnessAfter a regimen of treatment and exercises, patients are shown ways to prevent and/or decrease injury in their daily lives. Useful links:
