Chiropractic Treatments
The Chiropractic adjustment is the use of a specific force in a precise direction, in order to move the bones of a specific joint into a more correct position. An adjustment is commonly applied to a joint which is not moving correctly in its plane of motion. This joint is often described as subluxated, or "locked up". An adjustment also helps to normalize joint function, which can prevent bone and soft tissue degeneration. 

Clinical Kinesiology Chiropractic Treatment
Clinical Kinesiology (CK) is a diagnostic tool used by chiropractors and other health care professionals to effectively and efficiently treat their patients. The technique was developed by Dr. Alan G. Beardall. It was developed to interpret signals from the body in order to allow the doctor to perform the proper corrective procedure. Clinical Kinesiology allows for the use of many common chiropractic techniques including, diversified, Basic, SOT, and Activator. 

Acupuncture Treatments

Acupuncture is used to help regulate (by tonification and sedation) and balance the body's vital energy, known as Qi (pronounced Chee). There are needle and non needle approaches that can be utilized to treat the acupuncture points.

A third area of CK is that of importance is the treatment of emotional or stress related problems, which, if left uncorrected can lead to persisting systems. The final part of CK deals with nutrition. There are times when the body needs specific supplements to help heal properly. The final part of CK deals with nutrition.
