Chiropractic Services

Chiropractic care helps the body heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery. During your initial visit, Dr. Moore will conduct a careful analysis of your structure, paying particular attention to each individuals health goals as well as to the spine. Once the origin of your pain has been diagnosed, she can address the subluxation (a bone that has moved out of position creating pressure on a nerve). This procedure is appropriately called an adjustment, and the adjustment enables the body to heal. A chiropractic adjustment is highly effective in the treatment of allergies, carpel tunnel syndrome, disc problems, headaches, joint dysfunction, neurological conditions, osteoarthritis, and whiplash.

The time frame to resolve a problem is as varied as the people who present them! Initially,  the objective is to eliminate or reduce your discomfort and stabilize your condition. You could feel relief anytime from immediately to a week or as long as a month. In the second phase of care, Dr. Moore will work to balance chronic underlying injury or cause of discomfort, strengthen the muscles, and improve neuromusculoskeletal function. The third phase, or wellness phase, is designed to maintain your improved health, prevent a recurrence of the original problem, and address any small problems before they can become bigger ones. Dr. Moore uses a combination of methods depending on a patient’s needs.

Chiro Physical Therapy

Spinal Decompression:  This a gentle noninvasive state of the art therapy to alleviate pressure on the nerves and discs of the spinal column.  From chronic neck pain that adjustments along aren’t doing the job fully or pain, numbness and tingling in the arms and hands, cervical decompression may be and option. If you experience low back pain numbness and tingling in the glutes or all the way to the feet lumbar decompression may a good option.  

Chiro Supportive Physical Therapy

Intersegmental Traction: This is really considered old school chiropractic! It is and firm rolling table that moves up and down the spine.  Most people think it is just for fluff.  Truth is there is quite a bit of work being done as it mobilized the spine for the pelvis to the top of the neck as well as affecting both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Most people relax enough to catch a snooze.

Far Infrared Therapy: The latest technology unit was purchased to replace the old diathermy infrared heat unit that many have loved and experienced over the years.  Unlike red light infrared, the therapeutic benefit extends deep into the affected tissues.  Its function is analgesic/pain reduction, anti-inflammatory, cellular reproduction as well as pelvic pain and sinus relief. .  There are fabulous cosmetic applications as well.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation:  Electric stimulation of muscles to decrease the tone of spastic muscles and reduce pain.

Ultrasound: This is beneficial for pain reduction, increased blood circulation, and improved tissue elasticity and mobility.  The best application is joints or spinal areas that are swollen and inflamed from acute or chronic sprains/strains and tendonitis .

Webster Turning Technique: Should a baby be in the breech position, the Webster Turning Technique is gentle and very effective in righting the position.  There are circumstances in which it does not turn head down which we discuss in person and upfront.  The ultimate outcome is a happy healthy baby and mother!

Post natal care: Because of our commitment to the health and wellbeing of the entire family as they adjust to new parenthood, we provide care for the new baby at no charge for the first full year of life.  As long as one of the parents is under regular care, this service is available as our gift and commitment to the power chiropractic care and natural methods from the very start.

Activator Method

Activator Method: a non-force alternative to the traditional chiropractic adjustment is one of the techniques used at Moore Wellness.  This is a really nice option for those who are in severe pain and for those who “can’t stand to hear the bones POP”! This decreases inflammation and increases the patient’s range of motion as well as circulation to the central nervous system at that particular level.

Diversified Manual Technique

Diversified Manual Technique: The most commonly used technique for performing a chiropractic adjustment is the Diversified Manual Technique. During this adjustment, a quick thrust is applied, which is usually accompanied by a popping sound as pressure is released from the joint. This is considered “old school” and is what made chiropractic as successful as it is today. This is the technique upon which Chiropractic was founded by DD Palmer.

Cranio-Sacral Technique

CranioSacral Therapy (CST): was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger following extensive scientific studies from 1975 to 1983 at Michigan State University, where he served as a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics.

CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system – comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.

By complementing the body’s natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including migraines, temporal mandibular joint disorders, motor coordination issues, learning difficulties, infantile disorders and concussions to name a few.

Applied Kinesiology

Applied Kinesiology(AK): is based on principles of functional neurology, anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and biochemistry as well as principles from Chinese medicine, acupuncture , and massage. Dr. Moore has been studying and using AK since 1979 and it is as significant aspect of daily treatment at Moore Wellness.

This therapy is designed to be a part of a holistic approach to preventive medicine. The goals of AK are to (1) restore normal nerve function, (2) achieve normal endocrine, immune, digestive, and other internal organ functions, (3) intervene early in degenerative processes to prevent or delay pathological conditions, and to (4) restore postural balance, correct gait (walking) impairment, and improve range of motion.

These are just some of the services that we provide here at Moore Wellness. We love providing our patients with an enjoyable and pain-free life, so don’t hesitate to stop on by!
