Applied Kinesiology:

This is the chiropractic technique is practiced by Dr. Jeff Scipione. Applied Kinesiology (AK) is an interdisciplinary approach to healthcare, which draws together core elements of complimentary therapies, creating a more unified approach to the diagnosis and treatment of functional illnesses. Functional assessment measures are used in posture, gait analysis, manual muscle testing, range of motion, static palpation and motion analysis.

Activator Methods:

Activator Methods is the chiropractic technique used by Dr. Tyler Phillips. It is a highly specific and gentle from of chiropractic that can be used to address issues and dysfunction across the entire body, including every joint and muscle. It is both gentle enough to work on someone with extra considerations (such as joint replacements, surgical hardware, osteoporosis, and more), yet it is powerful enough to help someone in the prime of their life. Additionally, there is no “popping” or “cracking” that is typically associated with most chiropractic techniques. Each area of the body can be treated and realigned by only moving what needs to be moved, not by moving the structures around the issue.

More information about Activator Methods as a technique can be found on Activator’s Official website.

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization:

Sometimes after injuries or surgeries, bodies heal in a way that leaves scar tissue and adhesions behind that can cause pain or loss of function by limiting how much a muscle or other structures can physically move within the body. With precise application of various hand tools, Dr. Phillips is able to perform functional scar tissue treatment with the goal of restoring function and also reducing pain.

This adjunctive service is only used in specific cases, but if you feel like an old injury has limited your function then this may be a great option for you. This service may also soften the appearance of scar tissue to the point that it is less noticeable, however it will not completely remove a scar in a visual sense.

Nutrition:

We provide nutritional counseling for our patients that wish to cover all aspects of their health. We encourage and educate them on how to incorporate a healthy diet into their lifestyle. This includes both teaching people what it means to have a healthy diet and how they can achieve better nutrition in a way that suits their specific lifestyle. In specific cases we may provide nutritional supplementation and use such high-quality products as Designs for Health, Standard process, Biotics, and Metagenics. Both doctors will do this with you if you are interested.
