Chiropractic Services

• Chiropractic Adjustments
  PAK aids in detecting imbalances and determining appropriate treatment through neurologic reflexes and biofeedback. In short, PAK helps us determine exactly what type of therapy is right for you! The doctors at Kinesis Healthcare will therefore include manual muscle testing as a part of your examination.  And best of all, facilitating muscles ensures optimal joint stability and helps make chiropractic adjustments more effective and more permanent.

His latest passion is Neurology and is working toward a Diplomate in that field as well.
• Subluxation
  When misalignments, or subluxations, occur in the spine, this can place undue pressure on the nerves in between vertebra… This can cause pain, discomfort, and weakness; it can also affect your organs, and may lead to other more serious health problems down the road.
• Manipulation Therapy
  Spinal manipulation, otherwise known as an adjustment, involves the application of a controlled force to restore joint mobility.   Manipulation is a powerful neurologic tool for restoring normal neuromuscular and visceral function.  It is extremely effective in relieving pain, restoring normal joint range of motion, and in balancing the body’s many internal functions.

• Acupressure
  Acupuncture uses ultra-fine needles to minimize discomfort; these are sterile and disposable. However, we understand that some people find needles stressful, which is why we also offer Acupressure as an effective alternative to traditional needling.
• Acupuncture
  Acupuncture is an ancient system of energy healing stemming from China. Its principal goal is to use strategic points on the body to redirect and rebalance the body’s energy flow, or Qi.
