Our Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Adjustments are applied to joints in the body that are found to not be moving freely. Joint restriction can cause muscle spasms and discomfort in the surrounding tissues and accelerate degeneration (i.e. arthritis). After a thorough exam and speaking with the patient, Dr. Seed determines what technique would best serve the patient’s problem and concerns. Sometimes that includes multiple techniques, using gentle force with his hands, using an adjusting instrument, pelvic blocking, or a specialized table to restore normal joint movement. An adjustment improves flexibility, relieves pain, and helps to maintain healthy joints.
Soft-tissue Therapy
The Doctor determines the technique for treatment based on the type of injury, the duration, and the amount of pain the patient is in. At our office we utilize Active Release Technique®, Ischemic Compression (Trigger Point Therapy), Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), Post-Isometric Relaxation (PIR), Interferential and Russian Stimulation (Muscle Stimulation), Sports Taping, as well as Ultrasound therapy to treat injuries.
Therapeutic Rehabilitation/Corrective Exercises
Exercises are used to address postural issues, balance, abnormal joint movement, flexibility, and muscle imbalances. Retraining proper movement, strength, and function is also an important component of chiropractic adjustments. Exercises aid in the balancing of joint function and lowering the risk of future injury.
Kinesiology Taping
Kinesiology Taping gives support and stability to your joints and muscles without affecting circulation and range of motion. It is also used for preventive maintenance, edema, and to treat pain. It can be used to help protect injured tissue as well as enhance physical performance.
Whole Food Supplements and Herbs
Standard Process: A supplement company that was started in the ’30s by a Dentist named Dr. Royal Lee. All of the supplements are formulated with whole food ingredients to provide safe, effective, high-quality nutritional support. These products are only available through health care professionals. These products promote a better quality of life for patients.
MediHerb: MediHerb® was co-founded by Professor Kerry Bone, in 1986. He has been a Herbalist for 18 years and is currently serving as the Principal of the Australian College of Phytotherapy. He started the company due to the poor quality of herbal supplements at the time. Mediherb provides health care professionals with effective, superior herbal products that unlock the healing power of plants by combining traditional knowledge with sound clinical experience and scientific research.
Enzyme Therapy
Enzymes are found as a natural part of vegetables, fruits, grains, and other raw food. Enzymes ripen then slowly “digest” raw food. Our food from the grocery store is canned, pasteurized, genetically engineered, cooked, or packaged; enzymes within those foods must be systematically removed to increase shelf life. This is necessary for our food supply for economic and practical reasons.
Have you ever wondered how scientists are able to genetically engineer tomatoes to stay fresher longer? The enzyme content of the tomato is reduced or slowed so it does not digest itself as quickly. We are taught that a tomato rots; in reality, it is being digested or broken down by its own enzymes. If we fortify our foods with lost nutrients like vitamins and minerals, why not replace the enzymes? No other nutritional supplement can be substituted.
Enzyme therapy works by taking enzymes with your food; it helps the body break down food that it is struggling to digest. Maintaining homeostasis is difficult when the digestive track lacks the ability to process the major building blocks of the body properly, i.e. proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. Enzyme therapy is a way to aid in digestion and help the body process food to aid in proper digestion and nutrition by better utilization of the food you are eating.
Custom Fit Orthotics
We create custom fit orthotics that are made from a mold of your feet. This allows the orthotic to maintain constant contact with the soles of your feet. This contact will provide full support to your arch, giving you the corrected posture that you need. We use a well-respected company called Sole Supports to provide this service.
Acupuncture
Will be a service that is offered in the near future!
