CHIROPRACTIC
We understand that pain is the main reason people seek out chiropractic care. We have over 25 years experience and utilize the latest diagnostic tools to successfully relieve and resolve neck pain, low back pain, sciatica, headaches, disc herniations, auto accident injuries (see link at top of page), work related injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder, knee, wrist, and ankle pain, etc. without the use of drugs and surgery. And, if we don't believe we can help you we will refer you to the appropriate health care provider.
For more extensive information on chiropractic please look to our side bars on the left and to our 3D Spine Simulator on the right. In addition, below is a link for an excellent five minute video introduction to chiropractic. Finally, feel free to visit our Testimonial Page using the link at the top of the page.

NUTRITION
OUR NUTRITIONAL APPROACH TO HEALTH PROBLEMS
Our natural health solutions are based on scientific and objective testing that may include blood, urine, saliva, stool, and hair. Our comprehensive report to the patient provides individual, drug-free recommendations to promote optimum health based on imbalances and dysfunction identified in your chief complaints and the test results.
For example, we utilize Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis testing to assess GI function and diagnose problems with digestion including constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel disease, reflux, etc.
We utilize salivary hormonal testing to assess female menstrual or menopausal problems such as PMS, hot flashes, etc.
Often we see patients with a myriad of elusive symptoms and complaints that have not been successfully diagnosed or treated over the years. Here again we utilize appropriate testing, including possibly food and/or environmental allergy testing, to help identify a potential underlying cause.
Blood testing is also used to identify abnormalities in numerous areas. For example, cardiac risk factors can be evaluated by evaluating cholesterol and other blood lipid levels while elevated blood sugar levels will be found in diabetes. These and the above are all conditions that can often be very successfully helped naturally without the use of drugs; utilizing specific, appropriate nutritional and dietary programs that we tailor to your specific condition.
