Being Well

The Practice

Welcome

Solutions

I practice heal-thyself chiropractic. Everything I do is directed toward allowing your body to use it's natural ability to achieve and maintain optimal health. Because each person is unique, each treatment plan is also unique. I choose the techniques I utilize based on effectiveness and patient comfort.

All techniques I use are unified by the common goals of relieving presure from the nervous system, increasing range of motion and promoting proper muscle tone. While some chiropractors strictly adhere to one technique, experience has shown me that my patients benefit when I draw from a range of techniques and adapt my style to the needs of each individual. Chiropractic is both art and science. Through practice and study I constantly strive to deepen my skill and knowledge to assist in the miracle that is human health and healing.

Nerve Mobilization has proven to be a huge asset for the clients of Balance Chiropractic. By addressing the nerve tissue directly, nerve mobilization adds a means of accessing the nervous system that is simply not used by any other chiropractor in the area.

Cranial Therapy

The skull and sacrum work together to pump a fluid around the brain and spinal cord. This fluid, called cerebrospinal fluid, (csf), is very important for brain and spinal cord health. The goal of cranial therapies is to insure the health of this pumping mechanism which has a profound effect on the overall nervous system.

Extremity Adjusting

Because sometimes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is just Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The traditional chiropractic approach to solving problems of pain, numbness or tingling in the arms or legs is to look to the spine. All the nerves that serve the limbs start in the spinal cord, then they pass through opening between the vertebrae before traveling to the ends of the fingers and toes. Many cases of pain in the arms or legs have been resolved by clearing out nerve interference near the spine. But then again....

Less can be More

Dr. Smith is moving more and more toward gentle adjusting in the treatment of clients as he has always liked to use the least force necessary when restoring motion to a joint and he has found that in many cases a gentle adjustment is all that is required. A gentle adjustment could be characterized as one that uses no thrust or a very gentle thrust.

Restoring Motion and Alignment

Chiropractic has a long history over which time many different doctors have added new ways to analyse and treat the joints of the body. Traditionally, an adjustment is defined as a quick, short thrust to a joint to restore motion and relieve inflammation and nerve irritation. This kind of adjustment is often accompanied by a little pop as the joint releases. You may receive this kind of adjustment seated, standing or lying on your back or stomach. The majority of traditional adjustments are done by hand at Balance Chiropractic, but in some cases we may opt to use a little spring loaded device called an Activator or a drop piece.
