CHIROPRACTIC: Chiropractic is a system of healthcare whose primary intention is the detection and correction of vertebral subluxation. Vertebral subluxations, or spinal misalignments, may be caused by slips, falls, poor posture and traumas like auto accidents, work and recreational injuries.  Subluxations disrupt the proper function of not only your  nerve system, but your muscles, organs, discs, posture and overall health.  Vertebral subluxation can lead to lowered resistance to disease, pain, structural imbalance, and many common symptoms.  Using gentle and precise chiropractic adjustments , Dr. Kohler safely, gently and painlessly corrects vertebral subluxations. Remove the nerve interference (subluxation) with a chiropractic adjustment and you maximize your bodies self-healing and self-regulating potential.

APPLIED KINESIOLOGY: Applied Kinesiology is a holistic approach that is very effective at balancing the body on a structural, chemical, and emotional level. Muscular testing is performed as a means of identifying imbalances in the body’s nerve/energy system, and as a means of determining the optimum correction method to restore health and balance. Applied Kinesiology helps fine-tune the body and gives us a way to optimize the body’s self-healing, self-regulating, and performance ability.

ACTIVATOR & ARTHOSTIM ADJUSTING INSTRUMENTS: The Activator and Arthrostim are hand-held instruments that delivers a high-speed, but gentle impluse.  This allows Dr. Kohler to deliver a gentle and specific adjustment to the spine, cranium, and extremities. www.activator.com, www.impacinc.net

VIBRACUSSOR : The vibrocussor delivers waves of percussive impulses deep into muscles, ligaments and joints.   Along with chiropractic adjustments, the vibracussor is extremely effective at relaxing tense muscles, relieving lymphatic congestion, improving circulation, restoring joint motion, reducing post-exertion muscle soreness, releasing myofascial adhesions and scar tissue.  Additionally, these percussive waves heighten neurological awareness of the injured areas, thus facilitating energetic normalization and healing.  The benefits include reduction in the frequency and intensity of musculoskeletal pain, thus decreasing the need for pain medication and improving the ability to participate in activities of normal daily living. www.impacinc.net

SPINAL DECOMPRESSION/INVERSION:   Inversion is a form of traction using the body’s weight along with gravity to decompress the spine and joints.  This helps relieve pressure on spinal discs and provides tremendous relief of pain caused by prolonged sitting, standing, and lifting.   Inverting yourself as little as 25 degrees for even a few minutes can help decompress the discs, relax tense muscles and speed the flow of lymphatic fluids which flush out the body’s waste. Most importantly, along with chiropractic adjustments, lengthening the spine with inversion helps to improve spinal disc health and prevent disc degeneration and herniation.

CERVICAL REHABILITATION/TRACTION: Specialized cervical (neck) traction helps stretch the spine, remove pressure from spinal discs, and provide great relief from neck, upper back, and shoulder pain and discomfrort.  In addition, cervical rehabilitation exercises help restore the natural curve of your cervical spine, which is essential for long term relief of headaches, migraines, neck pain, upper back pain, shoulder pain, arm and hand pain and numbness.

MYOVISION sEMG
Neuro-Diagnostic Imaging - Myovision (sEMG- computerized spinal analysis) :
A computerized spinal examination through Surface Electromyography is used to evaluate the relative levels of electrical activity associated with vertebral subluxation. By interfering with the communication between the brain and the rest of the body, a vertebral subluxation leads to improper electrical impulses which can lead to poor heath. The sEMG scanning provides qualitative and quantitative data to assist the chiropractor in determining which areas/level of the nervous system are being adversely affected by vertebral subluxatons.
