Worldwide Chiropractic & Sports Medicine
 
We offer the following Treatments & Services:
  • Laser -- Laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Light created in this way is then culminated and directed into an intense beam of coherent light through the use of cathode and anode reflecting components in order to produce a single frequency. The laser is used in our office to treat multiple things; from inflammation to assisting in correcting a neurological dysfunction.
  • Percussor -- A piece of equipment use din the office to free up fascial (thin layer of connective tissue that surrounds each muscle) restrictions, muscle spasms, and organ restrictions by gentle percussive waves of energy. By using this, spasms are reduced, lymphatics flow more freely, and organ motility is restored.
  • Acupuncture -- A method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and improve functioning. This is done by using needles, laser, electricity, or pressure applied into the body along pathways of energy known as "meridians."  Stimulating or sedating these pathways can often alleviate painful syndromes.
  • Applied Kinesiology -- A system of  evaluating how the body reacts to various forms of stimuli applied to the nervous system, or to simply state "functional neurology."  You may hear the Doctor or Athletic Trainers use the terms "strong" or "weak" muscles as indicators for muscle testing. The actual strength is not being tested, but rather how the nervous system controls the particular muscle.
  • Nutritional Testing/Supplements -- Touches acupuncture 'alarm' points, and when the hole in the energy field shows up as an imbalance, an indicator muscle will show.  The appropriate nutrition is applied to the imbalance and balances the energy field.
  • Massage Therapy -- We have a massage therapist available in our offices to perform myofascial release therapy for our patients.  Massage therapy is done by a licensed massage therapist that will work on your specific area of discomfort. The massage therapist is schooled in a variety of techniques, and will use what he/she feels is the most appropriate for each patient's problem.
