 Achieving
optimal health is like the Phoenix that rises from the ashes.
You can regain your health and well-being to live the life
you aspire to.
Sometimes we forget how great we used to feel.
Stress, acute pain, and chronic illness can deteriorate
one’s quality of life. Getting back on the road to
health can seem overwhelming, if not impossible.
When your body hasn’t been balanced
for one reason or another – either through lack of
exercise or bad diet or illness or the daily stresses of
life – a cascade of physiological events occur that
result in poor health. This often surfaces as GI complaints,
frequent illness, lethargy, depression, or pain.
We have good news. By addressing
the body as a whole, and employing several highly effective
techniques, we can help reverse months and even years of
poor lifestyle habits and illness. Together we can help
restore your body, mind and spirit to optimal health with
our integrated approach to both cellular and systemic levels
of care.
Cellular care looks to improve the state of
the cells of the body as well as the fluids that keep them
nourished and healthy. We begin our focus with a healthy
diet adjusted correctly for age, body type, activity level
and season of the year. Next we recommend vitamin and mineral
supplements adjusted specifically to the individual’s
current health status. Balanced electrolytes help re-establish
a more pristine tissue environment in which cells may better
do their work. Vitamins and minerals provide the micro-nutrients
that aid in healthy cell metabolism. Exercise increases
oxygen to the cells and adequate water intake hydrates the
cells and surrounding tissues. Immunity and nerve activity
is further enhanced with chiropractic and acupuncture treatment.
 Systemic
care addresses the global effects of chiropractic, acupuncture,
exercise and improved diet and nutrition. Improving posture
and joint mechanics to stimulate the brain and spinal nerves
is the focus of chiropractic treatment. Traditional Chinese
Medicine (TCM) which includes needle acupuncture restores
the internal balance between our mind and body. Establishing
healthy eating habits and correct exercise routines invigorates
and sustains the work of chiropractic and TCM. Together
these four modalities help restore the body’s energy
(Qi or Chi, pronounced ‘chee’) and maximize
our physical and mental health as well as spiritual well-being.
The synergistic effects of combining chiropractic
care, acupuncture, exercise, and improved nutrition are
often immediate, long lasting and life enhancing. Before
long, we begin to have a more positive outlook on life.
We become happier, healthier human beings. Ultimately, one’s
life can transform and become more fulfilling and rewarding.
Whatever your current limitations are, let us help you begin
your journey towards optimal health. By working with the
body’s restorative energies, removing biomechanical
interference, nourishing the cells and systems of the body,
and enjoying daily exercise, we can begin to establish the
life you envision.
What our patients say
Dr. Burt Fletcher was injured when he fell
from a horse many years ago.
“I have known Karen for 20 years. Because
of her skill in alleviating musculoskeletal pain, I am one
of her patients. I refer my own patients in need of chiropractic
care to Dr. Thomas”.
