Foundational Foot Assessment

Chiropractors aren't just interested in the back- they're trained to view the body as a whole structure, with every joint, muscle, tendon, and bone working in unison to keep your body on the move. The feet are the foundation of your body, so we start out at the base to assess balance all the way up.

Postural Screening

Your posture is where your current structure of your body meets the functional control of your nervous system.  Even small corrections in how you hold yourself in space have much to do with where you hurt or may be injured in the future.

Chiropractic Assessment

Determining where to adjust and where not to adjust is vital in achieving positive outcomes. The doctors will palpate for changes in muscle tone, asymmetry in motion and shape of the joints being assessed.

Neurological, Orthopedic, and Vital testing.

Other standardized testing will be performed to determine any pathology that would need care and referral to a different type of provider.

Surface EMG

We will measure your actual muscle tone and evaluate blood flow with a rolling thermal assessment , to detect if your spinal nerves are communicating with your spine properly.

X-Ray

If needed, the doctors can take most necessary images in house.  We prefer to see the actual structures we are working on.  We don't like to guess with your health.

Address the Cause

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness through a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.

Physical Medicine Modalities and Therapeutic Procedures 

To complement and enhance the healing effects of a specific Chiropractic adjustment, we also provide the following physiological therapeutic procedures: 

• Myofascial release
  
• IASTM
• Cranial-Sacral Therapy 
  
• Axial Traction 
  
• Acupuncture

Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

Nutritional Counseling 

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? The doctors at Kimel Chiropractic Center, P.C can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.

Our orthotics from Foot Levelers are to support your entire lower extremity, including your knees and hips.  This helps to provide a balanced foundation for you to maintain a symptom free upright posture.
