Chiropractic:

Chiropractic is safe, non-invasive, drugless, and effective manual therapy for correcting the underlying cause of many health concerns:

  • Athletic Performance Enhancement

  • Headaches and Migraines

  • Arm and Leg Pain/Numbness/Tingling

  • Stress and Fatigue

  • Sports, Auto, Work Injuries

  • Joint and Muscle Conditions

  • Pre-natal and Pediatric Care

  • Ear Infections

  • Colic

  • Digestive/Bowel Disorders

  • High Blood Pressure

  • PMS Symptoms/Women’s Health

  • Low Back Pain

Chiropractic is essentially founded on 3 basic principles:

  1. The body is a self-healing, self-regulating organism.
     

  2. The nervous system is the master controller of the body.
     

  3. Any interference of the nervous system will cause the body to malfunction, and will reduce the body’s ability to act and react.

    This is exactly what occurs when you have a misalignment of one of the bones (vertebra) of your spine – a “subluxation”Spinal nerve stress is a complicated abnormality that can seriously damage our physical and emotional health, take away our vitality and strength, and decrease our ability to adapt to stressors in its environment – thus setting the stage for degeneration, illness and disease.

    Chiropractic eliminates this interference.

Chiropractic occupies its own unique place in modern health care;  not only does it draw upon modern scientific knowledge and techniques, it also utilizes the concepts of self-healing, life energy, and natural healing.

Custom Orthotics

During standing and walking our bodies are subjected to the natural forces that can inflict mechanical stress and strain throughout our joints. When foot imbalance is present there is a negative impact in the knees, hips, back, and neck.  This imbalance must be removed for to achieve improved posture and alignment. Orthotics correct this imbalance by improving the biomechanics of the body leading to relief of pains throughout the body.

 
YOUR FEET CAN MAKE YOU HURT ALL OVER


Casual Orthotics: 
These are the most popular type of custom orthotic designed for everyday walking and are prescribed for men and women.  Casual orthotics are designed to a patients shoe type, so for women that wear fashion dress high heel shoes or open sandals a specially narrow and slim line orthotic is designed in such a case. As well, these orthotics are individually designed to relieve the patients symptoms.


Sport Orthotics: 
These orthotics are specifically designed to a patients field of sport giving maximum support, function, and correction to an athletes biomechanical needs.


Workwear Orthotics: 
These orthotics are specially designed for work boots and safety boots giving the patient maximum support and comfort while working.


Chidrens Orthotics:

Cold Laser Therapy:

Cold Laser therapy is a modality that is easy to apply, non-invasive, painless, drug-free, and supported by scientific research.  It is a therapy that uses the body’s own natural healing systems to relieve pain, increase joint mobility, and promote cell regeneration.  A chiropractor is able to be precise regarding tissues or conditions to be treated, thus broadening the scope of healing services that Dr. Neff can provide the patient.

Lasers work by supplying energy to the body in the form of photons of pure light energy.  The body absorbs this light energy and transforms it into biochemical energy, which the body then uses to commence its own tissue repair.  The bio-stimulating effect causes a decrease in inflammation and pain, and an increase in tissue regeneration and healing.
 

The benefits are as follows:

  • Rapid Cell Growth

  • Faster Wound Healing

  • Increased Metabolic Activity

  • Reduced Fibrous Tissue

  • Stimulated Nerve Function Formation

  • Anti-inflammatory Action

  • Increased Vascular Activity

Applications of Laser Therapy include the following:

  • Frozen Shoulder

  • Low Back Pain

  • Tennis/Golfer's Elbow

  • Sprains and Strains

  • Tendonitis

  • Bursitis

  • Plantar Fascitis

  • Sciatica

  • Post-Operative Pain

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

  • Disc Herniation

The benefits and research of therapeutic laser therapy show that patients heal faster with some patients even getting immediate results.  Laser therapy is an effective and affordable tool for treating a multitude of conditions, and is safe to be used in combination with other treatments.

Massage Therapy:

Massage practice is a therapeutic, integral healing relationship in which the therapist assists the client in restoring, maintaining, and enhancing the well-being of the client.  It is most often used in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, such as low back pain, neck pain, whiplash, and headaches.  In conjunction with Chiropractic adjustments, patients can receive relief of symptoms associated with these conditions and recover more quickly.

The practice of massage therapy is the assessment of soft tissue and joints of the body, and the treatment and prevention of physical dysfunction and pain of the soft tissues and joints by manipulation to develop, maintain, rehabilitate, or augment physical function, or to relieve pain. (Massage Therapy Act, 1991)

Massage therapists will use orthopedic assessments, hands-on therapy, and self-care for the client (in the form of stretching and strengthening exercises, biomechanical suggestions, hydrotherapy, etc.)

Massage therapy is also frequently used for palliative care, maternal and infant health, and to reduce common symptoms associated with stress, including sleep disorders, anxiety, and depression.

Types of massage offered include:

  • Therapeutic

  • Relaxation

  • Pregnancy

  • Infants and Children

  • Athletic

Acupuncture:

Acupuncture is a 2000-year-old Chinese treatment in which needles are inserted into specific points on the body.  The World Health Organization (WHO) lists approximately four-dozen different conditions that can legitimately be treated by acupuncture.  In 1999, the WHO published a document with guidelines for training and safety in which they recommended 200 hours of formal training. Dr. Neff has received 300 hours of training at McMaster University through the Department of Anaesthesia

Most successful applications of acupuncture are for pain problems, particularly acute and chronic muscle and joint pain.  These include but are not limited to acute sprains and strains, muscle pain, arthritic pain, shoulder, neck and low back pain, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fascitis, achilles tendonitis, migraine and tension headaches.  Acupuncture may also be of help as an extra treatment for digestive problems such as irritable bowel, constipation and diarrhea, respiratory problems such as sinusitis and bronchitis, and uncomplicated psycho-emotional problems such as stress, anxiety and insomnia.

Contemporary Medical Acupuncture is a therapeutic intervention defined from a biomedical standpoint.  It consists of the stimulation of the peripheral nervous system with acupuncture needles and electricity in order to induce the responses for the therapeutic purpose of treating pain, musculoskeletal dysfunction, and selected states of functional disregulation.

Cosmetic Acupuncture:

What are the benefits of Cosmetic Acupuncture?

  • Reduces fine lines and wrinkles

  • Increases collagen and elastin

  • Reduces dark circles and puffy eyes

  • Lifts sagging skin and drooping eyelids

  • Tightens pores

  • Brightens eyes

  • Keeps acne under control

  • Increases circulation

  • Skin becomes oxygenated, nourished, and moisturized from the inside-out

  • Restores youthful glow

  • High Blood Pressure

Cosmetic Acupuncture may take 5-10 years off your face. It helps to eliminate fine lines and makes the deeper lines look softer. It can also help to minimize dark circles, puffy eyes, double chin, sagging skin, and drooping eyelids..

Your face will be rejuvenated from the inside-out. The tell-tale sign of someone getting facial acupuncture is called the “acu-glow”. Your skin seems to glow from within!

Is it really a facelift? The answer is an unequivocal no. Nor is it intended to replace a facelift. Cosmetic acupuncture entails no incisions, sutures or acid peels and it will not produce sudden, drastic changes in underlying structures. Remember, it took decades of stress, sun damage and exposure to environmental toxins for your skin to reach a state of crisis, and the damage will not be instantly undone.

If your features are tired, your eyes are baggy and your skin is without luster, yet you do not feel the need for cosmetic surgery, then facial acupuncture may be for you. The freedom from post-treatment downtime and the experience of enhanced vitality contribute to the ever-increasing popularity of this Asian art. If you are willing to try something different and new, you may find that facial acupuncture is the perfect partner in your quest for rejuvenation and renewal. It is far less costly than cosmetic surgery, virtually painless, and has no side effects or risks.

A Non-Surgical Facelift

Cosmetic Acupuncture is an effective, non-surgical treatment to reduce the signs of aging. It is based on the principles of Chinese Medicine, which involves the insertion of very thin disposable needles into the acupuncture points on the face. This stimulates the skin’s natural injury repair and response system. The skin sees the needle site as a wound, and encourages cells from collagen and elastin fibers to migrate to it. The process of wound healing balances out the dispersal of collagen. This system can initiate fibroblasts to lay down new collagen fibers along the sites of the wrinkles, creating better looking and feeling skin. This superficial insertion will increase the local circulation to the face and stimulate collagen production, which will fill out the lines and give firmness to the skin for a healthy, glowing complexion.

Skin Diagram

The remedy cosmetic acupuncture may offer is reduction or erasure of fine lines and the softening of deeper ones. Additionally, patients may experience the firming of jowls and a reduction in the size of under-eye bags. It is not unusual for clients to report enhanced skin tone, increased energy and eyes that sparkle. If you have relatively good skin, the treatments are more preventative. The focus is on enhancing the clarity and glow of your skin.

Recommended Protocol for the most beneficial results are 2 Treatments per week over 6 weeks. Noticeable results (however, at slower rate) are 1 Treatment per week over 12 weeks.

Individual Treatments…...……$100.00

Package Plan (12 Treatments)………………..$1000.00

Sessions are 1 hour, and include a Collagen Facial Mask.
