Rehabilitative and Corrective Exercises

Our unique body weighting system is the "glue" that makes our corrective chiropractic care stick. Core spinal and postural strength is achieved through custom, patient specific, isometric exercises performed on cutting edge vibration platforms, for a complete posture and spine makeover.  The end result is maximum nerve supply with greater strength, health and vitality for a lifetime.

In addition, we teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. 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.

Lifestyle Advice

"It's time to get off the bleachers and into the game!"

Patient specific advice, to get active safely for maximum benefit and enjoyment, is the goal.

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 of our patient's is a whole person, and helping them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between us and our patients.
