CHIROPRACTIC CARE: Adjustment of the spine and extremities
WHAT IT IS: Chiropractic is the science and art based on the premise that good health depends, in part, upon a normally functioning nervous system. When there is interference in the nervous system cause by misalignments in the spine or malfunctions causing stress on the spine or joints, tissues and organs may not function properly. Detection of these problem areas, known as spinal restrictions or subluxations, and their correction by spinal adjustments or manipulation will relieve nerve interferene and allow the psine and nervous system to return to a healthy state. Correction of the problem and maintaining good health is the goal of chiropractic care. WHY WE LIKE IT: Relives misalignments in the spine, nerve inferference and muscle spasm, allowing for a healthy body and natural healing to take place. |

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
WHAT IT IS: Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. It is designed to specifically target and remove soft tissue adhesions (or ‘scarring’). Soft tissue adhesions can create increased soft tissue tension, pain and dysfunction. These adhesions can be caused by acute injuries such as sprains and strains, or can be the result of repetitive motions that are common in athletic training and conditioning or lifestyle and workplace activities. WHY WE LIKE IT: Relief is typically felt quite quickly, and after the first treatment, there is a reduction in pain and increase in range of motion. |

INSTRUMENT ASSISTED SOFT TISSUE
WHAT IT IS: Is a soft tissue technique that helps break up scar tissue or adhesions beneath the surface of the skin using specially designed soft tissue tools. WHY WE LIKE IT: Typically Dr. Jamie Mabeus will follow up the myofascial treatments with instrustment assisted soft tissue therapy. While myofascial work breaks up scar tissue adhesions, the instruments help to realign the muscle fibers, brings blood flow and healing properties to the area, allowing for proper healing. |

KINESIOLOGY TAPING
WHAT IS IT: Kinesiology tape is applied over muscles to reduce pain and inflammation, relax overused or tired muscles, reduce bruising and swelling and support muscles in movement on a 24 hour basis. The tape is non-restricitive, allows for 'Full Motion' and can be used just about anywhere on the body. The tape is made of cotton and uses a gentile heat activated adhesive, that is breathable and quite comfortable to wear. As you move, the tape moves, giving your muscles a subtle reminder to relax or maintain their support. The tape is durable and is typically worn between 3-5 days per application. WHY WE LIKE IT: Kinesiology tape is a subtle reminder when you are out of the therapists office. It is quite comfortable. |

NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING
WHAT IS IT: The assessment of the person’s overall nutritional status followed by the assignment of individualized diet, counseling, and/or specialized nutrition and nutraceutical therapies to treat a chronic illness or maintain/enhance wellness and health. Medical nutrition therapy has been integrated into the treatment guidelines for a number of chronic diseases, including (i) cardiovascular disease, (ii) diabetes mellitus, (iii) hypertension, (iv) kidney disease, (v) eating disorders, (vi) gastrointestinal disorders, (vii) seizures (i.e., ketogenic diet), and other conditions based on the efficacy of diet and lifestyle on the treatment of these diseased states. WHY WE LIKE IT: Allows the body to heal itself with the aid of proper nutrition. |

MECHANICAL DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY - McKENZIE METHOD
WHAT IS IT: The McKenzie Method of MDT is a reliable assessment process intended for all musculoskeletal problems, including pain in the back, neck and extremities (i.e., shoulder, knee, ankle etc.), as well as issues associated with sciatica, sacroiliac joint pain, arthritis, degenerative disc disease, muscle spasms and intermittent numbness in hands or feet. If you are suffering from any such issues, then a MDT assessment may be right for you! The treatment principles of the McKenzie Method promote the body's potential to repair itself and do not involve the use of medication, heat, cold, ultrasound, needles, or surgery. McKenzie allows patients to learn the principles and empowers them to be in control of their own symptom management, which can reduce dependency on medical intervention. WHY WE LIKE IT: Allows the patient to be an active participant in their health and recovery. |

INTERSEGMENTAL TRACTION
Intersegmental traction tables gently help reestablish the normal ranges of the spine. Intersegmental traction tables also help facilitate muscle relaxation and reduce muscle spasms. It has been shown that use of a intersegmental traction table greatly accelerates recovery progress from a back injury. The intersegmental table operates by a dual roller moving up and down the muscles on either side of the spine. The rolling contact is constant and works electronically. Intersegmental traction tables are very relaxing and make for a great healing tool. Benefits:
