Leg checks are a quick and easy way to get more information on subluxations that are present in the spine. During a typical visit I have patients lay face down on the adjusting table and I observe their legs to see if they appear even or if one leg is shorter than the other, this is called a Derefield leg check. I also have the patient turn their head left and right and observe any change in the length of the legs. This simple check can reveal misalignments in the pelvis or sacro-iliac joints or in the cervical spine and sub occipital regions.

Today's world can sometimes be stressful, even in Loveland, Colorado. Acupuncture treatment can be used to help relieve stress and make you feel more relaxed. According to acupuncture theory stress tends to affect the liver and gallbladder meridians. When the liver meridian is stagnant you can be more easily affected by stress, irritability, depression, anger & impatience, headaches, and tenseness. Treatment with acuncture and chinese herbs can result in a feeling of well being and the stress that you are under will be relieved. If you find yourself in need of stress relief acupuncture may be the answer you have been looking for.

I have many patients who make regular chiropractic care a part of their wellness program. Once they try having a monthly adjustment or at least getting treated on a regular interval, they appreciate the many benefits offered.

Who couldn't use improved mobility, less pain and stiffness, better rest a night, and improved feeling of well being? to name just a few of the benefits. Others know that if they put off their chiropractic care too long they end up in a lot of pain when the misaligned vertebrae in their spine finally catch up with them.
