Chiropractic
We use a number of highly-effective chiropractic techniques to help reduce interferences and imbalances in your nervous system, which in turn will allow your body to restore optimal health, naturally. The techniques we use include:
Computerized Instrument
Adjusting–Impulse IQ
This technology allows us to deliver high-tech, controlled adjustments that are designed to target the underlying source of pain. Not only spinal related problems such as low back pain, neck pain and headaches are managed with this instrument, but the instrument also effectively allows us to treat extremity conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder pain, knee pain and foot pain such as plantar fasciitis.
Years of research have have gone into the development of the Impulse IQ adjusting instrument to create gentle and specific chiropractic adjustments that are safe and effective for patients of all ages.
Extreme Speed–The Impulse IQ is 100x faster than manual chiropractic adjustments, creating a gentle thrust that is faster than the body’s tendency to tighten up and resist the adjustment.
Frequency Tuned Waveform–Impulse IQ is specially tuned to the natural frequency of the body that joints, muscles and nerves respond to, optimizing the results.
Diversified
The most commonly used technique, Diversified is a hands-on technique by which misaligned spinal bones are discovered through palpation (pressure and touch), and then a specific manual thrust is used to restore normal alignment and movement. Years of education and experience determine the speed, depth, and angle of the adjustment. A popping sound is often heard, which is simply gas being released out of the joint capsule.
B.E.S.T.
Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique is a non-force, hands-on technique that is used to help re-establish the full healing potential of the body. B.E.S.T. focuses on imbalances and interferences in the autonomic (automatic) part of the nervous system which are predominantly caused by past and current mental and emotional stresses. Dr. John has received Elite Mastery certification for B.E.S.T.
Activator
Activator is an adjusting technique which utilizes a hand-held adjusting instrument which delivers a low-force, high-speed thrust. Many patients find this very comfortable, and because the speed of the adjustment is much faster than an adjustment delivered by hand, the body does not have time to resist and tighten up.
Flexion-Distraction
We have specialized adjusting tables that allow us to gently traction the spine, opening up the canals that the spinal nerves exit the spine through, and opening up compressed spinal discs. Our patients comment on how relaxing this procedure is for them.
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy is clinically proven as an effective treatment for pain and inflammation. Able to penetrate to deep tissue structures, it has the ability to treat a wide variety of both acute and chronic conditions including low back pain, hip bursitis, and chronic neck pain. The non-invasive nature of Deep Tissue Laser Therapy provides a solution for those who are looking for alternatives to prescription drugs and surgery. Treatments are painless and fast (5 to 10 min). Results can be immediate but the most observed results are after 3 to 5 treatment sessions. Providing a solution that did not exist before, Deep Tissue Laser Therapy has become preferred by those who have long sought relief without success. Its ability to impact pain on a cellular level provides pain relief for complex and simple conditions alike.

Spinal Decompression
Spinal Decompression is an advanced technology that is used to effectively work with bulging and herniated discs, “pinched nerves”, sciatica, numbness in the arms or legs, spinal stenosis and disc degeneration. This is a very gentle and relaxing procedure for both cervical (neck) and lumbar (low back) conditions. We offer state-of-the-art Spinal Decompression using the SpineMED® system.
Functional Lab Testing
We work with some of the nation’s premier and innovative labs (Diagnostechs, Genova/Metametrix) that provide accurate and reliable testing which may give insight into finding the underlying root cause of chronic illnesses. This allows us to create a custom program for handling difficult health challenges and also allows us to objectively monitor the effectiveness of your program.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the oldest healing modalities that has survived the test of time. Acupuncture promotes the body’s ability to heal on it’s own, naturally. Tiny needles are inserted in various areas of the body to restore normal balance and flow of the body’s subtle energy referred to as chi. The sterilized, disposable needles are extremely fine (hair-like) and produce very little to no sensation upon insertion. The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) has reported numerous conditions respond to acupuncture including:
• Low back pain
• Neck pain
• Sciatica
• Tennis Elbow
• Knee Pain
• Arthritis of the Shoulder
• Sprains/Strains
• Facial Pain
• Headache
• Dental Pain
• TMJ Dysfunction
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Induction of Labor
• Correction of Breech Presentation of Fetus
• Morning Sickness
• Nausea and Vomiting
• Postoperative Pain
• Stroke
• High Blood Pressure
• Renal Colic
• Leukopenia
• Radiation/Chemotherapy Side Effects
• Allergies/Hay Fever
• Sinusitis
• Depression
• Menstrual Disorders
• Gastritis
• Ulcers
Nutrition
You are what you eat. With today’s busy lifestyles of eating on the run, skipping meals, processed foods and fast foods, many of us do not get the balanced nutrition we need. Often, imbalanced eating leads to nutritional gaps and deficiencies that result in low energy, sugar and carbohydrate cravings, mood swings, weight gain, inflammation and a host of other illnesses. We find that patients heal more effectively and efficiently when optimal nutrition is utilized. We offer nutritional counseling and supplementation recommendations based on your examination, system surveys, and lab testing. We use high-quality whole food and herbal supplementation to give your body the building blocks it needs to repair and regenerate. Depending on your individual situation, we might also require that you make some specific changes in your diet and eating habits in order to bring about the best possible results.
Massage
Massage Therapy is a great compliment to our natural health services. These services are delivered by highly-trained licensed Massage Therapists. Massage therapy is effective for addressing stress or tension in the soft tissues such as your muscles, ligaments and tendons. We find that Massage Therapy can help speed and enhance your recovery along with being used to prevent the build up of stress and tension over time.
