Medical Care:
We act and process to identify and determine the nature and cause of a disease or injury through evaluation of patient history, examination, and review of laboratory data (including on-site X-ray). We then emphasize prevention of disease, maintenance of optimal health, and promotion of the individual's inherent self-healing process.

Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a healing art which utilizes a natural and holistic approach to restore normal biomechanics to the spine and extremities. Chiropractors believe in patient care by focusing on a patient's total wellness, or well-being, instead of specific diseases, or ailments. It is this intricate physiological and biochemical interrelationship among various parts of your body-including its spinal, musculoskeletal, neurological, and vascular systems-that chiropractors dedicate themselves to exploring and treating, with special attention to nutrition, exercise, and healthy emotional and environmental relationships. When one or more of these systems is impaired, your body ceases to function normally and your resistance to disease is compromised.

Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy is the use of modalities, exercises and physical activities to help condition muscles and restore strength and movement. For example, physical therapy can be used to restore arm and shoulder movement and build back strength. The Model Definition of Physical Therapy adopted by the American Physical Therapy Association, states that physical therapy includes:

Acupuncture
Acupuncture consists of the gentle insertion and stimulation of thin, disposable, sterile needles at strategic points near the surface of the body in order to promote the circulation of Qi and adjust the imbalance of Yin and Yang. The needles are much finer than the familiar hypodermic needle. After the insertion of the needles, patients may feel the pressure or distention, which means the arrival of Qi, instead of feeling pain.
Acupuncture has been proven to stimulate the release of opiate-like hormones and induce a deep state of relaxation, balance and healing.

Oriental Medicine
Oriental medicine is a comprehensive medical system that includes acupuncture, acupressure, herbs, exercise and nutrition. It treats the whole person to maintain and restore energetic balance.

Oriental medicine is based on a concept of balanced Qi (pronounced "chee"), or vital energy, that is believed to flow throughout the body. Qi is proposed to regulate a person's spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical balance and to be influenced by the opposing forces of Yin and Yang. Disease is proposed to result from the flow of Qi being disrupted and Yin and Yang becoming imbalanced.

Oriental medicine is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and National Institutes of Health (NIH). The 1997 NIH Consensus Conference on Acupuncture stated, "The data in support of acupuncture are as strong as those for many accepted Western medical therapies. One of the advantages of acupuncture is that the incidence of adverse effects is substantially lower than that of many drugs or other medical procedures used for the some conditions." Also in the 2003 Acupuncture Review and Analysis of reports on controlled clinical trials, WHO published a list of over 100 conditions for which acupuncture may be effective. Some conditions include:
