Chiropractic Adjustment
A chiropractic adjustment, or spinal manipulation, is a procedure in which a specific force is applied at a precise location and direction to a joint that is restricted, or not moving properly. The purpose is to restore normal joint motion, which often results in decreased pain through improved spinal function, improved nervous system function, and improved health. See FAQ’s for more information.

Supplements
ONLINE SUPPLEMENT STORE is CLOSED
Supplements are in addition to a healthy nutritional program. The old adage of “you are what you eat” is correct. Every time you go to the doctor they ask you about your family history. Your genes are more apt to express their limitations when disposed to more inflammation in your body. Ads on the TV, radio, magazines, try to inspire more healthy habits: lose weight, aerobic and/or anaerobic exercise 3-4x’s per week, increase your fruit and vegetables, eat complex carbohydrates, increase omega 3 by eating fresh fish, drink water, moderate alcohol consumption, get your rest, reduce stress, take a multi-vitamin and mineral, etc. All of these reduce inflammation and make you BETTER. In our Westernized civilization it is especially important to supplement our nutritional habits with vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other supplements to promote a healthier you.
Supplements are nutritional support that will aid in decreasing inflammation, obesity, diabetes type 2, high blood pressure, cancer risk, heart disease, stroke, cholesterol, etc. Supplements also help in many things that we do not think of until they are symptomatic or causing us grief. They aid in reducing cold’s and flu’s, stress, anxiety, depression, allergies; promote healthy sleep, everyday performance, and better skin; and will accelerate you body’s ability to heal whether it is from soft tissue strain/sprain, disc herniation, spinal degeneration (DJD or osteoarthritis), sinus congestion, headaches, gastrointestinal problems, etc. It is important to remind you that supplements are NOT designed to cure or treat disease; they are designed to provide support for your body.

The Graston Technique is an innovative, patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively isolate soft tissue adhesions and fascial restrictions. Just as a stethoscope amplifies what the human ear can hear, so do the instruments increase significantly what the human hands can feel. For more information go to www.grastontechnique.com.

Rehabilitation/Neuromuscular Re-Education
Our anatomy teacher at school always began his lecture with a recipe: “First you have the bones, than some ligaments to hold them together, slap some muscles and tendons on them for movement, provide some arteries and veins for nutrition, and than the nerves to tell them what to do.” In this section we will be focusing on the muscular component. As a fetus we are wound up in the womb in a flexed position, and we spend our life trying to attain extension. Our body’s muscular connection is a teeter totter trying to find balance. Our sedentary jobs, video games, poor posture, and weakened core facilitate the hunched over or flexed posture. This repetitive situation sets the stage for weakened muscle groups, chronic neck and shoulder aches and pains, headaches, carpal tunnel, chronic nagging low back pain, and other kinetic chain complications. Dr. Waldo will explain the concepts of plasticity, Upper and Lower Crossed Syndromes, why they occur, and how to correct the “stretch weak” and “stretch tight” areas through rehabilitation, neuromuscular re-education (retraining the mind muscle connection to overcome their deficits), and the use of Graston Technique.
This principle is why so many people leave care after they are out of pain and than suffer a relapse a few months later. Pain is only a symptom and the cause usually has many layers. Proper spinal mechanics through adjustments and muscle re-patterning is pivotal. Spinal rehab takes time for change just as braces take awhile to realign your teeth. Always remember that if you are here for pain relief only we will welcome you back without any judgment or I told you so.

Custom Foot Orthotics
In the last section we briefly described the kinetic chain. “You are as strong as your weakest link” is the motto we have all heard. Foot orthotics are inserts for your shoes that allow proper biomechanics during your walking, running, or athletic movements. Your foot is comprised of 26 bones functioning to absorb every step of every day. Improper weight distribution, “flat feet” will not only give you localized blisters, bunions, plantar fasciitis, heel pain but can also cause shin splints, knee pain, hip pain, low back pain, and even shoulder pain. It could be a weak link in your kinetic chain that could be corrected with orthotics or even a good pair of shoes. Visit www.footlevelers.com for more information.
