We care about your overall wellness!
As many of our long time practice members recall, we started out with our only service being chiropractic care. We focused on that because connecting your brain to your body is the most powerful tool we can use to get healthy and stay healthy.
Although chiropractic is the best way to relieve migraines, sciatica, carpal tunnel, back, neck, knee, shoulder pain, that is only one of the benefits. Because our brains run every system in our bodies, keeping the communication clear between the brain and our digestive system, reproductive system, cardiovascular system, endrocrine system and our immune system gives you the best chance of optimal health. That is also why we have three doctors with a variety of techniques that train and attend seminars frequently to keep up with the newest research and adjusting methods.
As time went on, I found patients were more and more stressed.
I was referring out for massage, rehabilitation and other services. Patients were insistent: “Bring it here so we don’t have to travel and know you are in charge”.
The first service we included was massage. Chiropractic and massage work hand in hand (sorry couldn’t resist the bad pun).
Massage helps relax muscles, helps hold the adjustment, decreases stress and speeds healing. Our five massage therapists are the best I have found in 30 years. They have a variety of techniques to better serve individual patients. I rotate and see all of them. When I attend seminars held at hotels with spas, I never bother having a massage because they are never as good as our team.
The second service we incorporated was exercise and core strengthening. Most of us sit way too much. It is the curse of computers. Sitting is absolutely the new smoking. The new research on this topic is frightening. A strong core decreases injury and undoes some of the damage we do by sitting all day but when I would send patients home with the list of exercises either they never did them or worse hurt themselves. Dr. Shannan went to 80 hours of training to develop our program. Our ability to monitor your progress makes all the difference and helps us know when you are ready to return to golf or running or tennis without injury.
The Power Plate was added originally to help patients with osteoporosis build bone density. Developed by NASA for the astronauts, it increases lean muscle mass, bone density, metabolism and immune function. The newest studies show it also increases Human Growth Hormone. It is a wonderful tool that I do every day.
