Chiropractic has been a healing modality for over 100 years. The original principles are still in use today. The big idea is that if we remove interference with the nervous system, our entire mind-body will have more optimal function. This is because the brain, spine and nerves are designed to control/regulate function of the mind-body and act as communication lines for this regulation process. Removing interference effecting the nervous system (e.g. a pinched nerve) can have wide ranging beneficial effects because the nerves go everywhere in the body!
The principle of removing interference that is negatively affecting optimal function has been expanded by innovative chiropractors such as Dr. Kraskow. Dr. Kraskow defines interference with proper function far beyond a pinched nerve. The control systems of the body include not only the nervous system, but also chemical components such as hormones, and energetic components such as the acupuncture system. Dr. Kraskow uses numerous techniques (several based in kinesiology) in applying these principles. Ultimately, a wide range of conditions are successfully treated: pain, athletes, children, women's issues, digestive, emotional, dizziness, headaches, carpal tunnel, sciatica, detoxification, cardiovascular, immune, etc.
Low Force Chiropractic
There are many kinds of chiropractic techniques. In this office there is no popping or cracking. Here, gentle soft tissue pressure is applied to correct joint misalignments, muscle dysfunctions, inflammations, acupoints, neurological reflexes and nerve irritation.
Applied Kinesiology
This is a system of functional analysis and treatment of the mind-body. The patient is assessed with a simple biofeedback process. Findings and problems are thought of in five categories: Structural (e.g. muscles, joints), Chemical (e.g. sensitivities, nutrition), Organ Stress, Mental and Emotional Stressors, Electro-Magnetics (e.g. meridian/acupuncture imbalances). Corrections are made using gentle pressure on tissues, reflexes and acupoints; homeopathics, supplements and lifestyle changes are recommended. In addition, Dr. Kraskow uses Traditional Protocols and Kinesiology to assess your health status including Computerized Body Assessment.
