CHIROPRACTIC CARE

Chiropractic care is a natural approach to health issues that involves adjustment of mis-aligned vertebrae. The term 'adjustment' refers to the specific manipulation chiropractors apply to vertebrae that have abnormal movement patterns or fail to funtion properly.  The results of a chiropractic adjustment are increased range of motion, reduced nerve irritability and improved funtion. Chiropractic treatments can help with a variety of conditions like neck and low back pain, headaches and migraines, nerve related issues and overall health and wellness for all ages.  At Axis Family Chiropractic, we offer a wide range of adjusting techniques from manual and drop table adjustments to Activator and gentler techniques.

MASSAGE THERAPY

Massage therapy has always had a history of being a luxurious way to unwind from a long day or just pamper oneself.  But it is now gaining popularity as a complementary therapy to chiropractic care. **  While a chiropractic adjustment realigns the vertebrae of the back and relieves nerve pressure, a massage will work out spasms in the muscles and promote healing of any injured tissues.  Whether there are specific muscular or myofascial issues, or just a need to relax and de-stress, our licensed massage therapists are ready to help.

** Note:  Most insurance companies will pay for massage as being medically necessary therapies when you see your chiropractor the same day!

ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is a discipline of ancient eastern medicine for the treatment and balancing of the body's meridians.  Meridians are invisible energy pathways that conduct life-force energy or Qi (pronounced 'chee') in and around all parts of your body.  Blockage or interference in these meridian pathways can result in energetic imbalances that may contribute to negative health conditions.  Acupuncture is helpful in treating a wide range of conditions, from back and neck pain to smoking cessation, infertility, psychological issues and much more.

FUNCTIONAL BLOOD CHEMISTRY ANALYSIS & NUTRITIONAL NEEDS

Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis is a tailor-made preventative nutritional regimen based on your unique nutritional needs. When blood testing is done, there is a range called the 'lab range' that your results are usually tested against. The problem with this range is if you are outside it, you are already in the 'sickness' or 'disease' range. Functional blood chemisty analysis uses a range called the 'functional range' which is a narrower range that leans towards health and homeostasis within the body. If you are outside this range, you may or may not be having sypmtoms, but it is an indicator that you are heading towards 'disease'. By working with natural supplementation specific to your results, your are taking a preventative approach with your health and working on keeping the balance and health in your body.

* We also work with a wide range of supplements from different health companies to provide any and all vitamin and mineral needs you may have. A few brands we carry are: Standard Process, Shaklee, Designs for Health, Integrative therapeutics, and many more!
