What We Do
Our approach to wellness
I am a large proponent of the belief that the better tuned the machine, the better it operates. Chiropractic has always focused on how the structure of the body affects the performance. Your body is a skeleton that is moved by the muscles which are controlled by the nervous system. If any of the bones, muscles or nerves are not functioning at their optimum level, the body cannot operate at its peak.
Some chiropractors focus primarily on manipulating the problematic joint. I personally believe the muscle or muscles that move and stabilize the joint need to also be evaluated to ensure they are functioning at full capacity. Once the muscles are balanced and the joint is at its best possible position, then its best held in place better with specific strengthening exercises to stabilize and hold better.
Types of Treatment Offered
Advantage ChiroCare was one of the first offices in Sacramento who offered more than spinal manipulation. Our office was one of the first offices to offer physiotherapy modalities such as electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound (including the two combined), myofascial work including trigger point work and Graston techniques. Rehabilitative exercises/stabilization exercises and yoga stretches. We also offer nutritional therapies, taping, and various traction modalities.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
One common cause of neck injury is car accidents, the most damaging are rear-end collisions. Even mild collisions can cause symptoms, that left unresolved, can linger for years and cause disability. No matter how severe, please take the time to get your spine examined.
Sports Injuries
From weekend warriors to serious athletes, Advantage ChiroCare has helped all levels of athletes. From little leaguers to professional athletes, we utilize joint manipulation, soft tissue rehabilitation, and stabilization exercises and/or stretches to keep your musculoskeletal system functioning at its peak condition.
Dietary Assistance:
One of the most substantial issues in our society today is obesity and overweight. There are a myriad of options to help turn the lives around with the right recommendations of diet and exercise to help patients get back on their health goals and get back to their “fighting weight”. With extra weight on the body, we are at much higher risk for degeneration, diabetes, cancer and other serious life-threatening conditions. Let’s get you back where you want to be!
What I often hear most from patients:
When a patient joins the practice, in particular, those who have had previous chiropractic care, the words I hear most are ‘wow, my previous chiropractor never did all that!” If they have never been to a chiropractor, I hear “I didn’t realize chiropractors could fix that!” Our goal is to “WOW” our patients, who are treated like family. I believe in a treatment approach where every patient’s treatment plan is personalized to best suit their needs, which often includes much more than manipulation, going that extra mile to help the process along as quickly as possible with as many tools to handle the particular issue.
