Did you know that chiropractic dates back to the time of Hippocrates? He believed that if the spine was misaligned, it greatly contributed to the health of an individual. The modern day school of chiropractic dates back to 1895, when Dr. Daniel Palmer adjusted a man that had lost his hearing 17 years prior.
The story explains that prior to losing his hearing the man had heard something pop in his back. Upon locating a mis-aligned vertebra, Dr. Palmer subsequently adjusted the man's "subluxated" vertebrae and his hearing was restored. That is the story of Harvey Lillard and the first chiropractic adjustment.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is a termed used to describe various forms of electrical therapy. These range from TENS and Interferential for injury/pain management to Russian stimulation that can help build muscle during rehabilitation. Primarily, EMS is a term used to describe a drug free treatment that reduces pain, spasm, and inflammation (those are the 3 most common reasons people seek chiropractic treatment).
Whole Body Vibration (WBV) is an innovative therapy that involves exercising on a platform that sends vibratory impulses through the entire body. These vibrations create stronger recruitment of your muscles and nerves. These rapid mechanical stimulations cause a neuromuscular response that goes beyond what could be acheived through traditional exercise.
Orthotics are a great way to help with issues related to alignment problems in the lower extremity. Some of these problems include knee, foot and lower back problems. The need for orthotics is often related to an issue with the mechanical function of the foot. However, medial knee pain and lateral hip pain during/after exercise is often an indicator that you may need orthotics.
Whole Body Detoxification is a process of natural detoxification that combats the accumulation of chemicals, pesticides, and other pollutants that become embedded in the tissues of our bodies. Studies performed at the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine found an average of 91 unnatural and unwanted chemicals in the bodies of study participants.
