Chiropractic & Nutrition Wellness Center offers leading edge "Integrative Therapeutic Modalities" tailored to meet individual needs in creating and maintaining "Optimal Wellness":

1. First we start with an evaluation to determine your current level of nervous system health with Heart Rate Variability Analysis using Health Express and Nerve Express testing:

The Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Test is well researched and provides a quick and easy assessment of autonomic nervous system function. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulates the heart, breathing, circulation, body temperature, digestion, metabolism, and hormones, among other vital functions.

The Heart Rate Variability* (“HRV”) Test, was originally developed as a screening tool to enable scientists to determine the health level and degree of functioning of the involuntary nervous system.  Thousands of the healthiest athletes and others in superior health were studied over a period of two decades to identify the common denominators of health.  A computer program based on this database of approximately 20,000 of the healthiest people was developed for use in checking the health status of the general public.

The test examines the heart rhythms and its variability*, comparing resting to its response to mild stress (changing positions from lying down to standing up).  The ability of the heart to compensate for and recover from this “challenge” gives a “snapshot” of the functioning of the involuntary nervous system (also called the “Autonomic Nervous System”).  The computer then generates a graphic picture of this function which is useful in assessing level of physical health compared to optimal health.

2. Next we determine your perceived level of health using the Rand 36 Outcomes Assessment tool.  As part of the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) — a multi-year, multi-site study to explain variations in patient outcomes — RAND developed the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). SF-36 is a set of generic, coherent, and easily administered quality-of-life measures. These measures rely upon patient self-reporting and are now widely utilized by managed care organizations and by Medicare for routine monitoring and assessment of care outcomes in adult patients.

3. Measurements of Blood Pressure and Pulse as well as Oxygen Saturation and a Perfusion Index are measured with a Tuffsat ; One of the smallest handheld oximeters available, GE healthcare's TUFFSAT is ideal for spot-checking SpO2 and Heart Rate.  We use the information to monitor the effectiveness of your longevity wellness service's effect on your nervous system and your overall health.

As you can see, we do offer quite a variety of services to handle the myriad of health goals our various practice members have.  Whether you suffer from a debilitating health condition that has been unresponsive to medical treatment, or you want enjoy optimizing your health potential, have a healthier pregnancy or get your children’s immune system working better, we have the services that can help your body function like it should.  Choose to be in charge of your health by adopting the Chiropractic & Nutrition Wellness Center vision for a healthy lifestyle.
