Chiropractic care helps restore proper motion and function throughout our spine and extremities. When our body is functioning and moving correctly, we experience optimal health and wellness. Whiplash is a common term used to describe the event that takes place following a motor vehicle accident where the cervical or lumbar spine rapidly experiences a hyperflexion/hyperextension movement.

Optimal health and wellness includes proper diet, physical activity, adequate sleep and stress reduction. Nutritional supplementation may be necessary to achieve your health goals! We offer pharmaceutical-grade supplements, including Metagenics, Ortho Molecular Products, DesBio, Nutri-Dyn, Springboard (supplements for growing bodies) and Douglas Laboratories.

Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy helps the mother's body adapt to the natural changes that take place. Changes in hormones, ligament laxity and increase/shift in body weight puts new stresses on the woman's lower back and pelvis. A hormone called Relaxin is released which may cause one or more joints in your spine or pelvis to become too lose or unstable.

Even the most "natural" birth can stress a newborn's spine. Colic, ear infections, erratic sleep patterns and torticollis are common signs of spinal distress from the birth process. Breast feeding problems can also commonly arise when a newborn is unable to turn its head comfortably. Plagiocephaly (flattening of the head) or other physical issues can arise as the newborn develops if birth trauma is left untreated.
