Your first visit:
The doctor will spend approximately one hour with new patients in order to determine the nature of your condition. This will include a history and physical exam, the goal being to identify both the sources of pain and the physical deficits or impairments related to pain. In some cases, diagnostic labs or radiology exams may be necessary to rule out any pathology. You can expect to be treated with respect and to have your questions answered throughout the visit.

Typical treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue massage, functional rehabilitation exercises, infrared light therapy, nutritional supplements, and self-care recommendations.

Patient participation is imperative in the treatment process. The doctor is a teacher and guide but sustaining health is ultimately in the hands of each patient. Illness or injury are often the cumulative outcome of years of dysfunction and can take time to return to full health. We at Trillium Health & Wellness are here to assist you with reaching your treatment goals safely, efficiently, and effectively.

Chiropractic Adjustments
It has been documented that chiropractic adjustments restore motion to a joint but bones are not moved for this to happen. Motion nourishes the joint, reduces local muscle spasm, and stimulates the body’s repair systems. Numerous studies have shown the safety, efficacy, and patient satisfaction associated with chiropractic treatments. Low back pain, headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, infant colic, and menstrual pain have all been successfully treated in control studies supporting the effectiveness of chiropractic manipulative therapies.

Functional Rehabilitation
Functional rehabilitation involves not merely strengthening muscles but assisting the body in performing movements and tasks necessary for everyday life. Core strength and endurance are often emphasized since these muscles are utilized during every movement we make.

Customized Orthotics
Our feet are our foundation and our body’s first shock absorbers used to transfer the force of each step we take. Xtreme Footwerks has a unique approach in foot orthotics using optimal foot and ankle positioning as their basis for proper function. This allows for prevention, correction, or comfortable management of common conditions of the foot and ankle, knee, hip, and spine.

Delayed Sensitivity Allergy Testing
This test provides a unique approach to addressing common ailments that often defy typical treatment, some of which include asthma, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, endometriosis, irritable bowel syndrome, allergic migraines, thyroiditis and more.

Infrared Light Therapy
This passive therapeutic is effective in decreasing pain, increasing circulation, and increasing the rate of healing to the area addressed.

Myofascial Release / Graston Technique
When tissues are injured, adhesions or scar tissue can build up causing restrictions in movement. These techniques combine stretching and deep tissue massage to release the tissues allowing them to regain full range of motion. Graston Technique uses instruments to assist in this process leading to faster recovery.

Nutritional Supplements
Not all vitamins are created equal. For maximum absorption and efficacy, a high quality, standardized, doctor recommended nutritional supplement is the best choice. Neutraceuticals of this quality are only sold through doctors. Trillium Health & Wellness features Ortho Molecular Products, Perque, Pure Encapsulations, and other standardized or pharmaceutical grade supplements in the office.
