The Services We Offer

Nutrition
Without a doubt, the single most significant part of wellness..., proper nutrition, is understood differently by almost everyone you talk with.  At Better Health we try to separate the "herb of the month" from the "vitamin of the week" for you so you can make well-founded choices for your best health.

Medication Management
As a complement to chiropractic, nutritional care of injuries or conditions, is provided.  Medication is prescribed if necessary.  Chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma and migraine headaches are just a few examples of the type of cases managed.

The Better Health provider always looks to use only the most effective medicine that presents the least amount of undesirable effects and is familiar with many different types of medicines in most all categories.  Also, a provider is always on call for you should you require answers to urgent needs.  For medical emergencies, call 911.

Women's Health
We use Natural Hormone Replacement and balancing for optimal aging, lessening the ravages of nature and nutritional and activity indiscretions over the years.  Natural hormones are made from plants and even though they are taken by prescription, are safer and help to keep a woman's heart, brain and skin cells stronger, healthier and longer.  (P.S.  Men need hormone balancing too!)

Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is meant to be a staple of wellness, not just used as a band-aid.  Therefore, at Better Health, prevention and regular chiropractic administration is encouraged.  The doctor does provide all levels of care however and has several types of techniques to serve you.  Just in case you are new to chiropractic, pain is only one small part of what chiropractic is for.  It's a good one, but the main objective is to assist in maintaining optimal functioning of the nerve system—all the time!

Massage Therapy
We have Certified Massage Therapists on staff who are trained in a wide range of techniques.

Trigger-Point Injections
Many times, despite the best chiropractic and massage efforts, muscles fail to relax properly.  Occasionally, a small area of the tissue, that covers muscle, binds up and creates what we refer to as a trigger point.  You can push on it, rub it and use a poker on it, but it just seems to hang on.  And then, you notice that it set off a pain in the back of your head or down your arms.  Congratulations!  You have just found a true trigger point.  Trigger points are so named because they "trigger" a distinct area of pain somewhere else.

The good news is that at Better Health, the doctor uses the "TPI" technique, or trigger point injection, to relieve the problem.  We find that by placing a small amount of medicine directly into the pesky, painful point, relief usually follows quickly.  Just by being pushed into the point, the medicine helps to soften the area and it will soon relax.

Electroneurodiagnostic Testing
Testing for nerve injury is performed at Better Health to help diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica and diabetic nerve problems.

Cold Laser Therapy
Cold Laser is used to treat skin tissue, muscles and nerves.  It uses a safe, high frequency, low intensity light source to treat a variety of conditions.  It is sometimes referred to by other names such as low level laser therapy (LLLT), low power laser therapy (LPLT), soft laser, therapeutic laser or biostimulating laser.

Motion X-Ray
Motion X-ray or video fluoroscopy is a system that creates a video record of motion in real time.  It is especially helpful for diagnosing whiplash injuries.  Viewing external and internal movements simultaneously aids in the evaluation of musculoskeletal disorders.

Yours in health,
