X-Ray Studies
We have full X-ray services available for the patients that may need X-rays for their type of conditions. X-rays are not taken on every patient but if they are necessary they can conveniently be taken in our office. In most cases we will review the X-rays with the patient and point out the normal and the abnormal structures that are found.
Corrective Exercises
We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. We have a large exercise and rehabilitation area with many state of the art rehabilitation devices. Exercises and stretches shown and performed in the office are specific for your conditions and problems. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.
