Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a health care discipline that treats the body without the use of drugs or surgery. The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily of the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health. In addition, our office works with other health care practitioners and will refer when in the best interest of the patient.

The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become restricted in their movement as a result of a tissue injury. Tissue injury can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as improper lifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position with poor spinal posture for an extended period of time.

Massage

Massage therapy intends to relax the soft tissues, increase delivery of blood and oxygen to the massaged areas, warm them, and decrease pain.

Concept Care employs Licensed Massage Therapists who assist the Doctors with treatment, and also provide private massages.

Acupuncture

Many people have experienced exceptional results from acupuncture. An energy network exists just below the surface of the skin which flows along channels or meridians. When meridians are blocked it can result in pain and illness, such as, fatigue, sinus congestion, joint and muscle pain, etc.. Acupuncture opens or strengthens these meridians by stimulating the Acupoints with needles, laser, electric current, or direct pressure.
