Chiropractic
Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that the nervous system controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ, and system of your body. Your nervous system consists of your brain, spinal cord, and all the nerves of your body. While the brain is protected by the skull, the spinal cord is more vulnerable, covered by 24 moving vertebrae.
When the vertebrae of the spine lose their normal motion or position, they can irritate the nervous system and cause symptoms like you may be experiencing today. This disrupts the function of the tissues or organs the nerves control, and is called the Vertebral Subluxation Complex or Subluxation Syndrome. Chiropractic is the science of locating areas of spinal joint dysfunction and correcting these issues through gentle adjustments.
The words “chiropractic adjustment” describes ways of using a carefully directed and controlled pressure to restore spinal bones to a more normal position or motion. When spinal function is improved, nervous system function and your health can improve as well, relieving you of your symptoms.
After a thorough examination and a review of your health history, Dr. Mendel will recommend a specific care program.
Chiropractic adjustments can restore your nervous system function and relieve you of your symptoms.
Cold Laser Therapy is highly effective, is painless, safe, non-invasive and cost-effective.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold Laser Therapy delivers specific light energy to damaged cells in order to increase blood flow and stimulate natural physiological activity.
In greater detail, when Cold Laser is applied, it increases blood supply and ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) production which is the "gas" that runs the body. ATP activates and promotes the body's own natural healing processes. This can accelerate the healing of damaged tissues, aides in the reduction of pain and inflammation increasing joint mobility and promoting a healthy cell metabolism.
Applications can vary based on laser strength and treatment times can range from as little as 30 seconds to as much as 15 minutes.
Nutrition
"Foods can be the greatest medicine or a dangerous poison to the body. My recent studies have prepared me for nutritional counseling for conditions such as fibromyalgia and gastrointestinal disorders, as well as diet and exercise tips tailored to attain overall well-being." -Dr. Tracey Mendel
Dr. Mendel believes that there is always more to learn and we are capable of making impactful modifications that can change our lives immediately. With our busy lifestyles, we sometimes put ourselves last and struggle making healthful nutrition choices. Dr. Mendel has seen a huge gap in this regard and wanted to be an educated resource. To this end, she pursued a Masters of Science in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine and is now a Certified Nutrition Specialist. She is thrilled to add Nutrition Counseling to her practice.
