Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system. Chiropractors use adjustments to correct subluxations of the spine and extremities. Subluxations contribute to health disorders and pain. The doctors utilize Chiropractic adjustments and CranioSacral as well as Activator instrument, Drop Table adjusting, and other light touch adjustments. They also do viceral adjusting to correct abnormal organ and tissue motion. Chiropractic can treat headaches, neck pain, mid back pain, shoulder problems including rotator cuff injuries and pain, low back pain, disc injuries, pain resulting from auto accidents, knee and ankle pain, and many other conditions.

Applied Kinesiology

Applied Kinesiology is a non-evasive technique of testing structural (back pain, sciatica, neck pain), chemical (digestive, hormonal, neurochemicals) and mental (stress) aspects of health using functional assessment of the neuromuscular / neuromechanical system. A.K. is also used with other standard methods of diagnosis.

The Doctors use muscle testing to determine where you need to be adjusted. They find weak muscles, trace that muscle to the nerve source then make a specific chiropractic adjustment to that nerve area to remove nerve system interference. The adjustments are either made by hand or with a low force instrument. Once the adjustment is made they recheck the muscles to make sure they are stronger, increasing function in that part of the body.

Functional Nutrition

As Functional Medicine doctor, Dr. Carlee looks at her patient’s physiological processes and will address:

• Hormonal and neurotransmitter imbalances

• Oxidation-reduction imbalances and mitochondropathy

• Detoxification and biotransformational imbalances

• Immune imbalances

• Inflammatory imbalances

• Digestive, absorptive, and microbiological imbalances

• Structural imbalances

Dr. Carlee  routinely test for environmental and food allergies, chemical sensitivities, and other toxic substances that can cause a wide array of primary and secondary symptoms. She feels that by eliminating these stressors from the diet and from the patient’s environment, we are able to take a significant burden off the body. This allows the patient's body to heal. She tests for food allergies by using traditional laboratory blood tests, elimination diets, and muscle response testing or Applied Kinesiology.

Our bodies detoxification processes are bombarded daily with a chemical cocktail of modern-day industrial chemicals, pesticides, food additives, heavy metals, personal care products, and pharmaceuticals. We can become so overloaded that our natural detoxification systems can’t keep up. These toxins build up over time and can affect virtually all of the systems of the body! It is imperative that we assist our body’s detoxification processes.

Dr. Carlee can provide diet and supplement recommendations to assist with your body’s natural process of detoxification. We will give your body the extra nutrients, natural substances, and energy it needs in order to set the balance straight and get the process of detoxification back in high gear.

Using Applied Kinesology to test patients for environmental, food, and chemical sensitivities, along with other toxic substances that can cause a wide array of primary and secondary symptoms. By eliminating these stressors from the diet and from the patient’s environment, we are able to take a significant burden off the body. This provides the body with a more optimal environment to heal. We test for food allergies via traditional laboratory blood tests, elimination diets, and muscle response testing, or Applied Kinesiology.
