Chiropractic

Chiropractic medicine is a complementary and alternative medicine health care profession that focuses on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on the functions of the nervous system and general health. It emphasizes manual therapy including spinal adjustment and other joint and soft-tissue manipulation. Traditionally, it is based on the premise that a vertebral subluxation or spinal joint dysfunction can interfere with the nervous system and result in many different conditions of diminished health. Today, the progressive view examines the relationship between structure and function and its impact on neurological mechanisms in both health and disease. Diane Hafner, Remedy’s chirpractic physician has been a practicing chiropractor for over 20 years.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is a health care specialty involved with evaluating, diagnosing, and treating disorders of the musculoskeletal system. The ultimate goal of physical therapy is to restore maximal functional independence to each individual patient. To achieve this goal, many therapies including exercise, heat, cold, electricity, and massage are utilized. At Remedy, our physicians are highly skilled at assisting our patients to regain their health.

Pain Psychology

At Remedy, we recognize that anxiety, stress, depression, fear and disrupted sleep all play a role in a patient’s ability to regain their health. Remedy physicians (with the help of consulting psychologists) employ many practical methods to help your brain to help your body.

Biofeedback & Stress reduction

Biofeedback is a treatment, which uses electrodes to monitor muscular activity in the affected area of the spine, and displays it on a computer screen. This enables the patient to visualize the relaxation of muscles. This often times helps in decreasing the amount of "stress" that can settle into the spine, thereby relieving a patients pain and reducing the stress associated with that pain. Ask your Remedy physician if you are a candidate for this form of treatment.

Nutrition & Yoga

Diet and nutrition play a major role in overall health and well being and when managed effectively can provide positive results for patients suffering from a variety of diseases and conditions. At Remedy, we provide our patients with the opportunity to positively impact their health by modifying their diet.

Increased flexibility and strength can help prevent the causes of some types of back pain. Many people who suffer from back pain spend a lot of time sitting at a computer or driving a car. That can cause tightness and spinal compression, which you can begin to address with yoga. Yoga also improves your alignment, both in and out of class, which helps prevent many other types of pain. Additionally, physical activity is good for relieving stress, and this is particularly true of yoga. Because of the concentration required, your daily troubles, both large and small, seem to melt away during the time you are doing yoga. Remedy embraces the principles of Yoga as an effective tool in treating pain and assisting patients to regain their health.
