Chiropractic Care

Our doctors perform advanced spinal correction in our Colorado Springs practice utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a Doctors of Chiropractic, we have years of training and experience in spinal adjusting.

Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

Lifestyle Advice

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each one of our patients is a whole person, and that true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.

Nutritional Counseling

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patients' return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Any one of our doctors can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.

Spinal and Postural Screenings

Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. We provide screenings at community events, health fairs and places of employment. Contact our Colorado Springs office today to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.

Physiotherapy

To complement and enhance the healing effects the specific Chiropractic manipulative treatment our doctors perform, we at Colorado Health and Wellness, Inc. also provide the following physiological therapeutic procedures:

Allergy Elimination

We use a non-invasive, drug free, natural solution to eliminate allergies of all types and intensities using a blend of selective energy balancing, testing and treatment procedures from acupuncture/acupressure, allopathic, chiropractic, nutritional, and kinesiologic disciplines of medicine. One allergen is treated at a time. If you are not severely immune deficient, you may need only a few treatments to de-sensitize one allergen. A person with mild to moderate allergies may take 15-20 office visits to de-sensitize 15-20 food and/or environmental allergies.

IST

The Inter Segmental Traction table has rollers that roll up and down the spine. During a 10 minute session, the IST interacts with your body in a massage-like fashion 240 times. The pressure (depth) can easily be adjusted to suit individual needs and sensitivities. Inter-segmental traction carefully elongates the postural muscles of your spine in a comfortable, even manner, and allows normal joint motion, circulation and mobility to return. Other benefits include: increased blood flow and oxygen to the discs, ligaments and muscles therefore improving balance, strength and mobility. The IST table treats all body sizes, shapes and weights equally and effectively, including children.

Hydrotherapy Table

The Hydrotherapy Table has a bladder that holds warm water and hot tub style jets. As the patient lies down the jets pressurize the warm water to vibrate and massage the patient. The benefits of this treatment are: decreased muscle tension, increased oxygen absorption in the blood stream, decreased inflammation and muscular toxins, increased release of endorphins, decreased blood pressure, decreased muscle guarding, and increased range of motion. Most importantly, the patient stays dry!

Acuspark

The acuspark is a hand held instrument that the doctor uses to create small amounts of electrical energy on the skin of the patient. The sensation is like being lightly snapped with a rubber band. It can be safely used on any age. The benefits of the acuspark are relief from painful joints, muscle spasms or strains, types of headaches. The most important feature, however, is its ability to balance the electrical energies of the body without causing an over or under functioning of the nervous system.

IMPAC

The IMPAC or adjustor is a hand held instrument that when used, is specifically designed to correct vertebral subluxations in your spine as well as realign painful joints in other parts of your body. It is an electrically powered percussion instrument. It is a great way to adjust pain sensitive areas. It is a low force instrument and is recommended for adjusting the elderly.

Thumper Massager

The thumper is an electrically powered hand held massager. It is specifically used for a deep tissue, professional massage. It sends powerful pulsations deep into your muscle tissue. Most massagers use a rubbing, orbital action while the Thumper goes after muscle tension with a unique, patented tapotement stroke, which is a pulsed acu-pressure that sends healing pulsations deep into your body. The Thumper Massage provides a fast effective massage (full body in only 5-8 minutes), covering both groups of paraspinal muscles simultaneously. These massagers can be purchased in the office.

Cold (Low Level) Laser

Cold or Low Level Lasers are used for many different treatments. The benefits include: increased endorphin release, enzyme production, cellular healing, ATP production, circulation, rate of wound healing and lymphatic flow, and decreased pain and inflammation. Cold lasers are powerful. They do not emit heat and they are a fundamental treatment mode in our office. Most patients feel little or no sensation when they are being treated. Cold Lasers or Low Level Lasers have been used throughout Europe for many years and are approved by the FDA.

Custom Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers (Orthotics) and Foot Scan

Our spinal pelvic stabilizers are custom made shoe inserts that support all three arches in your feet thereby creating a stable foundation upon which to build a proper body posture. We custom design your stabilizers by completing a digital foot scan. The scan is done by computer and then sent to a laboratory where the stabilizers are created to correct any imbalances found in the three arches of your feet. They are custom made for your specific imbalance.

Lumbar/ Cervical Decompression Table

The LCD table is able to isolate and rehydrate debilitated spinal discs offering long-term relief without the use of drugs or surgery. When having decompression therapy the goal is to create a pumping action through out the spine. This is done by a machine that pulls and releases pressure on the discs. This motion is done multiple times in one setting and creates the pumping action which not only rehydrates a disc but flushes away toxins and inflammation around the spinal nerves. Benefits – excellent results with long term disc trauma & chronic pain.

Vibrocussor

This percussive therapy is an exciting new treatment approach for muscle and ligament problems and related myofascial conditions. The instrument delivers waves of percussive impulses deep into the tissues of the body and is very effective in releasing muscles, and increasing circulation and lymphatic flow. The vibrocussor can also be used to flush muscles and minimize soreness after an athletic event.

Posture Analysis

Posture Analysis is a non-invasive means to analyzing whether a patient is adding stress to their body by incorrect posture. The patient will step onto a machine which lines their body up with what is a normal posture. A graph is used to see if a plumb line passes through specific markers on the body. The markers represent the variance in a patient’s posture compared to correct posture.

J-Tech

J-Tech is a computerized system that marks and documents any increase or decrease in range of motion. Tests can be done in an active state or in a passive state. This allows for scientific evidence of how an injury or degeneration is affecting the body.
