What I Do In Our Office

Chiropractic
Chiropractic helps to correct irritation or pinching on the nerves in our body. Everyone has had an irritated nerve; an example would be a pebble in your shoe. If you get a pebble in your shoe and you continue to walk on it, it creates increased pain. When you remove the pebble from your shoe, you take away the irritation on the delicate nerve on the bottom of your foot. Similarly a pinched nerve can cause disturbance in the body. Spinal Adjustments can relieve pain and other symptoms in the body.

What is the Activator Technique?
The Activator Technique uses the latest advances in orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic examinations to find joint dysfunction in the spinal column and extremities. Activator uses a hand held instrument to give a consistent, low-force, high-speed chiropractic adjustment. There is no twisting or cracking involved in adjusting the patient.

Physical Therapy
We offer several different therapies in the office to reduce pain, reduce muscle spasms, stimulate healing, increase spinal mobility, improve the curvature of the neck and to decrease pinched nerves in the neck. These therapies are used in conjunction with the Chiropractic treatment to get you better faster.

What is Allergy Elimination?
Allergy Elimination Technique, is a non-invasive, drug free, natural solution to eliminate or decrease allergies of all types and intensities using a blend of testing and treatment procedures from acupressure, chiropractic and muscle response testing. Usually one allergen is treated at a time. Basic essential nutrients/foods are treated during the first few visits. Chemicals and environmental allergens may be treated after completing the basic nutrients. Allergy Elimination can successfully eliminate or decrease adverse reactions to foods, outdoor items, animal dander, make-up, chemicals, cigarette smoke, and other environmental agents.

Nutrition and Contact Reflex Analysis
CRA is a simple, safe, natural method of analyzing the body's nutritional needs. A deficiency in any of these areas could cause or contribute to various acute or chronic health problems. CRA is not a method of diagnosis. It is a means by which a doctor uses the body's reflexes to accurately determine the source of a health problem. Many times the symptoms of a health problem are treated while the actual source of the problem continues to go undetected. For example, headaches are treated with aspirin; coughs are treated with cough medicine. But the question still remains. What's causing the headache? What's causing the cough? CRA quickly and accurately uncovers the root of the health problem and provides the doctor with answers for correcting it. There are approximately 75 known reflex areas on the skin which represent various organs, systems and glands. It is believed that when the body becomes ill there is an interruption of nerve energy to these reflexes. The reflex, when tested, will act similar to a circuit breaker under an overload. When the deficiencies are uncovered, an exact nutritional supplement can be given to help the body heal. Proper nutrition needs to be given to strengthen and/or support the problem area. A great degree of accuracy is possible with CRA. It will even uncover deficiencies at a sub-clinical level; that is when the problem is so tiny that the person may not be aware of it, and modern methods of testing may not detect it. CRA was researched and developed by Dr. Versendaal, D.C., along with an M.D., a clinical nutritionist, a dentist and a hematologist during the past 30 years.

Our goal is to provide comprehensive, easy to use, functional rehabilitation exercise in order to optimize physical performance in the office & at home.
