Doctors of Chiropractic are primary care/primary contact health professionals that draw on modern scientific knowledge and techniques, balanced with a philosophy of natural healing. Our practitioners focus on the spine in relation to the total body and specialize in the understanding and treatment of its component bone structures, muscles and nerves. No referral is necessary to consult a chiropractor.

As holistic practitioners, our practitioners believe in treating the whole individual, practicing natural healing without drugs or invasive surgeries.

Central to the treatment is the chiropractic adjustment, a gentle, directed pressure that restores the spine’s ability to function. We recognize that dynamics exist between lifestyle, environment and health. In addition to clinical treatment, your practitioner can be a good source of information on beneficial exercise and nutrition.

Our practitioners use individualized treatment strategies. Treatment plans may include a combination of the following techniques:

Spinal Manipulation (adjustment)
Mobilization
Active Release Therapy (ART)
Myofascial Release Therapy
Electrotherapy (IFC, TENS, Ultrasound)

Massage therapy affects all systems of the body, most particularly circulatory, muscular, fascial and nervous systems. It is also effective in the control of pain – both chronic and acute, in stress reduction and in creating a sense of relaxation and well being. A trained massage therapist focuses on the normalization of the soft tissues affected by stress, injury and illness through the use of manual techniques that improve circulation, enhance muscular relaxation, relieve pain, reduce stress, enhance immune function or promote health and well-being.

You don’t need to be injured or in pain to experience massage, it can be used as a tool to help facilitate your general well being. Many people seek massage therapy regularly to help them perform at their best and feel positive about themselves.

An increasing number of clinical research studies show massage reduces heart rate, lowers blood pressure, increases blood circulation and lymph flow, relaxes muscles, improves range of motion and increases endorphins (enhancing medical treatment). Therapeutic massage can also hasten and lead to a more complete recovery from exercise or injury.

As a wife and mother of 3, Brittany is someone who strives to find success in all aspects of life. Setting and achieving personal goals became her inspiration for wanting to help others achieve theirs.
