Chiropractic Care
We specialize in correcting your body’s misalignments. Our goal is to ensure that your spine and the rest of your body are working harmoniously. To do so, we will help you develop a plan that will require light stretching, some exercise, chiropractic care, and a healthy diet.
Chiropractic Adjustments
We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing “state of the art” chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are safe, comfortable, and more effective than ever before. As a doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Mary has years of training and experience in spinal adjustments. We tailor the adjusting style to what you need and have a variety of techniques to select from.
Webster Technique
The Webster Technique is a type of chiropractic adjustment for pregnant mothers. More specifically, it is a sacral analysis and adjustment that reduces the effects of sacral subluxation. In other words, the function of the pelvis is enhanced.
This technique helps mothers with labor difficulty caused by less than optimal uterine function, malpresentation, and pelvic contraction. These are all symptoms of sacral subluxation.
Ultimately, the Webster Technique can help promote a safer, more comfortable birth. This is an attractive option to families for obvious reasons, and it is something that many mothers have benefited greatly from.
Graston Soft Tissue Technique
The Graston Technique is essentially a type of therapy that uses instruments to assist in the mobilization of soft tissues of the body. It is a very popular technique that gives patients a great deal of relief.
The Graston Technique works by breaking down scar tissue and fascia restrictions that are created by trauma to the soft tissue. This can be the result of strained muscles or pulled tendons.
It also reduces restrictions by elongating connective tissue. This effectively changes the structure of the tissue in order to improve function.
If you are curious about The Graston Technique, please reach out to us today. We would be happy to speak with you and discuss the many benefits of this technique.
Low Level Laser Therapy (Cold Laser)
Our practice utilizes the FDA approved ML 830 Cold Laser. Low level lasers, also known as cold lasers, are the cutting edge non-thermal, non-invasive method for the treatment of a variety of pain syndromes, acute and chronic injuries and repetitive motion disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
Cold laser therapy has been studied and successfully used around the world for over 25 years. Many top athletes, including Lance Armstrong, consider cold laser therapy an integral part of their regime for the treatment of injuries as well as for performance enhancement.
Custom Orthotics
Custom foot orthotics are designed to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. They look similar to insoles, but are biomedical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance. The plastic body of the custom orthotic helps to re-align the foot while you walk. We understand that everyone is different, which is why custom foot orthotics are made just for you.
