ChiropracticChiropractic is a health care discipline that emphasizes the inherent power of the nervous system and addresses the spinal body to alleviate “pinched nerves”. To be fully alive you need to be fully connected. When the spine is out of alignment and “pinched nerves” are present your nervous system sends pain signals to get your attention. You can go for many weeks without food, for a week or so without water, for a few minutes without air, but not even a second without the life energy and information streaming across your nerves. Adjustments restore proper movement to the spine and relieve nerve pressure, naturally. As the largest drugless health care profession in the world, doctors of chiropractic naturally alleviate suffering as well as teach how to live life to its fullest potential!
Our Techniques Chiropractic Adjusting Structural health refers to normally functioning spinal joints and nerves. When the spine is out of balance pain is always the result.

The philosophy governing the technique is called the Triad of Health which states that whole body health lies in the balance between Structural Health, Nutritional Health and Emotional health. In our office the most powerful technique we do is correct spinal misalignments but the addition of services to address body chemistry and emotional stress create a profound approach above and beyond the typical Chiropractic office. NeuroEmotional Technique It has been known for thousands of years in many healing traditions that emotional stress effects health. The Chinese associate the kidneys with fear (when we are scared to death we pee our pants) the liver with anger (the underlying emotion in alcoholism) and the lungs with grief (the most common cause of death in the elderly is lung related or should we say grief related). The Chinese were clear that these very physical responses could in fact have emotional roots. We now know the effects of accumulated stress and emotional pain can have widespread implications on the physical body. This simple technique allows us to address this overlooked area of health. www.netmindbody.com KinesioTaping Method The Kinesio Taping® Method enhances the body’s natural healing process and provides support through the muscles.

I was always under the impression that chiropractors were rough, and that kept me away for years.
Wow, Dr. Heidi turned out to be so gentle, and so knowledgeable about the body. I was happily surprised to learn that my insurance covered some of my visits, so be sure to have them check your coverage with your health plan." Sara M., Glendale     |
