Our Mission
Are you a laborer? Do you ranch? Do you sit at a desk all day long? Are you pregnant?
Then you should consider seeing a chiropractor. Laborers and ranchers use and abuse their bodies every day on the job. I know. I am a farmer’s daughter. I grew up working on the farm. When I was in college I worked in factories during breaks. I realized how much the body can be abused by doing such work. I would recommend that people doing such need to come in once a month to keep themselves healthy and pain free.
Receptionists and office workers don’t use their bodies in the same way as ranchers and laborers, but they still injure their bodies. Muscles between the shoulder blades can go into spasm causing mid-back pain and neck tightness. Those muscle spasms will pull on the vertebrae and ribs and cause subluxations. Subluxations in turn can cause headaches, fatigue, brain fog, vision problems and many other disorders. Wrists and elbows also need to be adjusted even if wrist pads and supports are used to decrease carpal tunnel syndrome. The motion is still the same and a quick check can prevent any underlying causes.
Pregnant women generally develop low back pain and sciatica during pregnancy. Chiropractors can help ease these pains and it will not harm the baby. As visits to the obstetrician increase, also increase the visits to a chiropractor. The hormones that relax your ligaments in your pelvis for delivery will relax all the ligaments in your body making it hard for your body to hold adjustments.

Functional Medicine
Functional medicine is a practice of looking closer at a patient’s lab reports to find patterns in dysfunction.
Neuro Emotional Technique (NET)
NET Practitioners use muscle testing to find the balance of stuck memory loops which can be a lot of fun! Muscle testing can be used to determine whether or not your body is “in harmony”
Logan Basic Technique
In this practice a number of low-force techniques are utilized, one of which is called the Logan Basic Technique.
Applied Kinesiology
A technique that separates this Wellness Clinic from traditional chiropractors is called Applied Kinesiology (AK).
