Our Approach to Health
At Christensen Chiropractic, we believe that in order to help others achieve optimal health and wellness, there needs to be a multifaceted approach to the chiropractic care we give. This includes evaluation and treatment of not only the spine, but the entire neuro-musculoskeletal system, looking at the common stressors being physical, chemical and emotional.
Physical - this includes common disorders such as sprains and strains or spastic muscles inhibiting range of motion in the joints. These common disorders are corrected with adjustments to the spine and skeletal system as well with massage and manual therapies and other modalities such as ultrasound and electrostimulation therapy.
Chemical - poor diet, exposure to molds, toxic chemicals, allergens or food sensitivities can all impair health and lead to disease. We evaluate our patients for signs and symptoms for any of these problems and then give the proper program to neutralize the root problem rather than taking a pill to mask the symptoms. Treatment includes diet changes and pharmaceutical grade nutraceutical and herbal supplements. Patients may be put on a detoxification protocol ranging from 10 days to 30 days depending on the chronicity of the condition.
Emotional - Emotions can have a powerful impact on ones health and well being. Unresolved emotional pain can manifest physically. Common ailments include headaches, muscle pain, joint pain, abdominal pain and more. It is not uncommon to have an emotional release during or after treatment.
Christensen Chiropractic uses a unique approach to health care in the way we offer patients options. The ability to choose between a “quick fix”, a maintenance program, or a total health makeover. Whether one is looking to get out of pain quick or wants to dig deeper and learn to resolve their health issues, Christensen Chiropractic has the plan that is right for the patient. Type of care includes: Chiropractic adjustments, heat/cold therapy, electro-stimulation therapy, therapeutic ultrasound, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, massage therapy, intersegmental traction, neuromuscular re-education, nutritional counseling, personal training, stretching and exercise therapy.
