Services Offered

Chiropractic Adjusting – The integral part of chiropractic treatment, an adjustment, also known as a manipulation, induces proper joint motion, decreasing nerve interference and releasing endorphins to the affected area.

Physiotherapy – Balance Chiropractic uses many different forms of physiotherapy to increase blood flow, facilitate healing and reduce inflammation.  These therapies include electric stimulation, therapeutic ultrasound and heat/ice therapy.

Custom Orthotics – Many musculoskeletal problems start from the ground up.  We employ the highest quality of custom orthotics, fitted with a biofoam foot imprint, a pedograph, to show how the foot is dysfunctioning, dynamically, and a foot motion exam.

Sports Medicine – Many techniques are employed, including physiotherapy, soft tissue massage, muscular rehabilitation, and manipulation (if indicated) to bring an athlete from an acute injury, all the way to their highest level of athletic performance.

Muscular Rehabilitation – In addition to proper joint mobility, proper muscular function is very important.  In our rehabilitation room, most patients will learn several exercises and stretches to both do in the office and at home.

Soft Tissue Massage – We use a variety of soft tissue massage therapy techniques, to help get blood flowing, loosen up muscle tissue, and flush out chemicals that promote inflammation.

Adrenal Stress Index Testing – The adrenal glands are the stress glands of the body. Other organs and glands, such as the liver and thyroid, depend on the adrenals for their own proper functioning. This is why overworking these glands can disrupt a variety of the body’s natural functioning abilities.
Using saliva samples to be taken at various times throughout one’s day in their regular environment, this testing allows for a thorough assessment of adrenal function and immunity.

Female Hormone Testing- Hormonal imbalance can be the root cause of many symptoms experienced by women of all ages. Evaluation of hormone and endocrine function provides women with a glimpse into their own individual chemistry and is an effective tool in developing a customized treatment plan for various female health conditions.

GI Assessment – Disease can often be traced back to an unhealthy digestive tract. This is why a healthy gastrointestinal tract is imperative for overall optimum health. Pathogenic organisms can commonly infect the GI tract, causing a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms. With this testing, saliva and stool samples, via private home collection, are used to identify bacteria, parasites, yeast, fungus, etc as well as any immune deficiencies within the GI tract. Intestinal markers are also used to detect inflammation and irritation, giving an overall status of gut integrity. This assessment allows for proper and specific treatment of GI dysfunction.

Food Allergy Testing- Gastrointestinal upset can often result from an IgG immune reaction caused by a delayed food allergy, also referred to as food sensitivity. Delayed allergies, unlike the common allergies detected using skin testing, can take up to three days to provoke symptoms. So they are difficult to determine without proper testing. If it is determined that a patient will benefit from food allergy testing, we use a blood test called an ELISA test to identify food allergies/sensitivities. We will then work with the patient to develop a healthy digestion system through proper nutrition and supplementation if needed.
