Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a branch of health care that focuses on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, with special emphasis on the spine, under the hypothesis that these disorders affect general health via the nervous system. Your nervous system is responsible for the function of every cell, tissue, organ and system in your body. Our chiropractors detect, reduce and further prevent dysfunction within the nervous system, and thus optimize the body’s ability to heal itself. They emphasize manual therapy including spinal manipulation and other joint and soft-tissue manipulation. Chiropractic treatments are often supported with physical therapy modalities, exercises, nutritional supplementation, and lifestyle counseling.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a modality of Traditional Chinese Medicine that dates back over 3,000 years and is utilized in Asian hospitals today. To heal itself, acupuncture treatments balance your body’s own energy, called “chi,”. There are specific points on the body that relate to each organ system and its path of energy flow called a “meridian.” Our acupuncturists use a system of diagnosis to determine the specific points that will help you strengthen and balance your body’s energy and optimize its ability to heal itself. Although acupuncture can complement all of our treatments, it is most effective in the treatment of stress, emotional imbalance, digestive disorders, and pain. Acupuncture is also effective for weight loss, quitting smoking, and facial rejuvenation.

Applied Kinesiology

Back In Balance Chiropractors utilize Applied Kinesiology to greatly enhance the accuracy their diagnosis and treatments. Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a system that evaluates structural, chemical and mental aspects of health using manual muscle testing with other standard methods of diagnosis. AK uses the Triad of Health, which balances the Chemical, Mental and Structural factors that affect your health. Treatments may involve specific joint manipulation or mobilization, various myofascial therapies, cranial techniques, meridian and acupuncture skills, clinical nutrition, evaluating dietary and environmental sensitivities and various reflex procedures.
