  Chiropractic Care

  We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Melissa L. Bauch has years of training and experience in spinal adjustment.

  Manipulation Under Anesthesia      

  Manipulation Under Anesthesia (commonly called MUA) is a non-invasive, multidisciplinary treatment for a variety of conditions which cause chronic pain.  Procedures scheduled through our office will include a team of at least three doctors including Dr. Bauch, a Medical Professional (MD or DO), and an Anesthesiologist.  They will work together to correct spinal dysfunction, improve range of motion, and decrease fibrotic scar tissue.  Performed in a surgical suite, MUA allows patients to have the full benefits of manipulative therapy and deep tissue stretching without either pain or the interference of muscle tension.

  Hydro-Massage Therapy  

  Imagine how you felt the last time you were in a hot tub. The warmth of the water relaxed you and the pressure of the water jets against your body soothed your aches and pains. Now imagine feeling this way without undressing or getting wet. That’s what our hydromassage tables feel like. Just lie back and within ten minutes you will achieve a state of total relaxation.

  Benefits:

  	Stimulating pressure points with massage and heat triggers the release of endorphins, which are neurochemicals that relieve pain. As a result, pain is blocked and the flow of blood and oxygen to the affected area is increased. This causes the muscles to relax and promotes healing.
  	Massage focuses on relieving pain and discomfort as well as on responding to tension before it develops into "dis-ease", that is, before constrictions and imbalance can do further damage.
  	Massage enables the body to relax deeply. By relieving stress, it strengthens resistance to disease and promotes wellness.
  	Massage stimulates the lymphatic system and helps hasten the elimination of toxins (e.g., lactic acid) from the body.
  	Massage increases flexibility and range of motion, reduces inflammation, and increases joint mobility. It is used to relieve and even help prevent sports injuries.
  	Massage improves muscle tone and circulation and relieves neuromuscular problems.

  Lifestyle Advice

  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 our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.

  Corrective and Rehabilitative Exercise Plans 

  We teach our patients special "blueprint" 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.

On Site X-Ray
