Chiropractors, also known as doctors of chiropractic or chiropractic physicians, diagnose and treat patients whose health problems are associated with the body's muscular, nervous, and skeletal systems, especially the spine. Chiropractors believe interference with these systems impairs normal functions and lowers resistance to disease. They also hold that the spinal or vertebral dysfunction alters many important body functions by affecting the nervous system, and the skeletal imbalance through joint or articular dysfunction.
Stress to the spine produces interference, or subluxations in the communication pathways that travel through your nervous system which control virtually every aspect of your body. Chiropractic adjustments remove this interference, hence permitting the free flow of information from the brain to the body and back again. Stress can occur as a direct result of structural misalignments from poor posture, ill fitting shoes, old mattresses, and unfriendly ergonomics at work, home or school. Stress can also come about from unbalanced emotions, as well of that of nutritional deficiencies and or excesses in either your diet or supplementation routine. As part of your complete assessment, Dr. Hegel will address all three components and give you a detailed report of findings to help you find medication free solutions to your concern/s.

Applied Kinesiology (A.K) uses functional assessment measures such as posture and gait analysis, manual muscle testing as a functional neurological evaluation, range of motion, static palpation, and motion analysis. These assessments are used in conjunction with standard methods of diagnosis, such as clinical history, physical examination findings, laboratory tests, and instrumentation to develop a clinical impression of the unique physiologic condition of each patient, including an impression of the patient's functional physiologic status. When appropriate, this clinical impression is used as a guide to the application of conservative physiologic therapeutics.
