We offer blood work and analysis at our practice, a viable alternative to costly testing done elsewhere. Results are analyzed alongside your medical history.

Testing is done to find the patient’s biomarkers and their functional range. The functional range of biomarkers gauges risk for disease before it occurs. Pathological range detects disease itself. Blood work is flagged when it ranges beyond the pathological range. 

Functional range compares your health to the healthy ideal, while pathological range compares your health to people with varying diseases. The difference between these ranges is the degree of deviation considered healthy on each scale and the point on the spectrum at which your healthcare provider will intervene.

As people age and start to experience back pain or stiff joints, they often decide to make an appointment with a chiropractor. A chiropractor is often the first health care professional a person decides to see upon experiencing the first signing of aging. 

Chiropractic is a holistic approach to healing the body by promoting a healthy nervous system. The nervous system is the primary system within the body that controls its function and healing. When the bones in the spine are twisted or thrown out of alignment, nerve stress is caused. This disrupts how the brain and body communicate, hindering the body’s ability to heal itself. Chiropractic heals these issues through spinal realignment, thus proving it many cases to be an effective anti-aging method.

Professional chiropractic care is an avenue of little risk that can provide significantly rewarding results.

The alignment of vertebrae in your spine can be the determining factor in a number of health symptoms that affect your overall body of health. This implied presence of an incomplete or partial dislocation of a joint is called a subluxation. Joint mobility can be restored through massage and carefully applied pressure which will allow your body reach homeostasis, its natural state of balance. Nerve energy is restored to its normal flow when the joints in your spine are allowed to return to their proper positions and your body is able to return to its natural healing process.

While Chiropractic care is mostly known for its assistance in relieving pain in your joints, patients of chiropractic care have also reported that their treatment resulted in significant relief from all of the following as well: headaches, respiratory problems, asthma, sleep disturbances, stress, depression, ear infections, allergies, sore throats, insomnia.
