Q: What methods of natural healing do you practice?
A: We specialize in Acupuncture, Chirpractic, Massage Therapy and Physical Modalities/Rehabilitative Excercise.
Q: What is Acupuncture?
A: Classical acupuncture theory involves the balancing of energy flowing through pathways in the body called meridians. Research has shown acupuncture to increase the production of endorphins around the site of the inserted needles.

Endorphins are the body's most effective, naturally produced pain killers. The increased production of endorphins is thought to both relieve pain and draw the body's attention to where the healing needs to happen.

If you would like to heal from chronic pain naturally, or if you worry about the drugs conventional medicine has given you to hide the pain, consider acupuncture therapy. Acupuncture is a thousands-of-years-old healing practice involving the insertion of very fine needles into specific body points.

Millions of people over several millennia have benefited greatly from this gentle and effective procedure.

Q: How does Chiropractic care work?
A: Chiropractic works directly with the nervous system, which controls and coordinates all of the body's functions. A common source of irritation to the nervous system is the joints of the spine. A loss of proper motion or position of these joints can cause irritation or impairment to the nervous system, resulting in pain, stiffness, numbness, tingling, weakness and other impairments.

Chiropractic is the science of locating the offending spinal structures and the art of restoring proper nervous system function, through the use of chiropractic adjustments, to aid in the body's ability to heal itself.
Q: What types of Massage Therapy do you offer and what are the benefits?
A: Whether you are looking for a deep therapeutic massage or a more relaxing Swedish massage, our board certified massage therapists can help. For years, our therapists have helped to melt away the stress of the week for countless patients. Whether you suffer from muscle stiffness or simply want a treat for yourself, come and enjoy superlative service for a fair price.

Come and benefit from one of several massage techniques:

  • Deep tissue
  • Myofascial release
  • Swedish
  • Soft tissue release techniques


Some of the benefits of these techniques include:

  • Increased circulation
  • Improved energy and vitality
  • Greater flexibility
  • Improved postural patterns
  • Decreased muscle tension
  • General stress reduction
  • Decreased body toxicity
Q: What are Physical Modalities?
A: Chiropractic adjustments alone are sometimes not enough to heal your joint, muscle and nerve problems. Whether you’re trying to recover from chronic or acute pain, trying to avoid an operation or trying to heal more quickly and completely after surgery, we can help you return to an active and enjoyable life.

Physical modalities can quicken healing time and improve your daily comfort:

  • Electric muscle stimulation
  • Ultrasound
  • Intersegmental traction
  • Heat and ice
  • Cold laser


These modalities serve your body in different ways, such as reducing muscle spasm, improving circulation or decreasing inflammation.

A therapeutic exercise program is designed with your specific needs in mind. You will be given stretching exercises to improve flexibility and range of motion.

Strengthening exercises will result in better joint support, integrity and balance. Stretching and strengthening will speed your healing time, help you heal more completely, and lead to a longer lasting correction of your condition.

Computerized custom orthotics can help you heal if you suffer from foot pain, such as plantar fasciitis or if you notice ankle, knee, hip or back pain with walking or running.
