Gain Power Over
Your Health Problem
The Chiropractic &
Nutrition Wellness Center offers one of
the best overall combinations of
treatment methods and patient education
opportunities. Over the years, Karl
R.O.S. Johnson, D.C. has taken a
holistic approach to health — offering
not only gentle, specific, effective
chiropractic adjustments but also
nutrition counseling, sports injury
treatment, rehabilitative spinal
exercise programs, percussion, massage
therapy,
Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA),
Nutritional Response Testing (NRT),
and
Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination
Techniques (NAET)
-- all designed to
help you be the best you can be.
In our practice, you'll
discover a complete array of services
for your entire family. Through a great
number of continuing education courses,
Dr. Johnson has mastered the newest and
most effective techniques in
chiropractic rehabilitative and wellness
care as well as nutritional therapy and
allergy elimination techniques. The
procedures used in our practice are well
suited for all ages from infancy to the
elderly. Chiropractic and nutrition are
quickly advancing fields; and we believe
it takes dedication, diligence, and just
plain hard work to keep up. But we feel
this is essential for the good of our
practice members.
At the Chiropractic &
Nutrition Wellness Center, we use a
comprehensive 3-step approach to correct
abnormal physical body function. Our
statistics reveal that 90% of our
practice members achieve the results
they desire.
Our approach stems from the desire to
enable our patients to become
self-reliant and to be in control of
their health challenges by being better
informed.
Unique 3-Step
Approach
STEP 1:
We
improve the mobility of your spinal
joints and related tissues through
chiropractic adjustments. Ideally, the
end results of a series of chiropractic
adjustments are maximum nerve integrity
and optimal healing potential.
(Chiropractors call this reducing the
Vertebral Subluxation Complex).
STEP 2:
We show you
how to stretch tight spinal ligaments to
their normal length. (Ligaments hold
your bones together and prevent
excessive movement). Ligaments which are
too tight will contribute to abnormal
joint mechanics and early degeneration
of joints. This is critically important
in the spine as degenerated spinal
joints (Subluxation Degeneration)
lead to spinal nerve damage which in
turn has devastating effects on human
health.
STEP 3:
For
lasting results, we’ll show you how to
strengthen weak or imbalanced supportive
muscles of the spine and muscles which
aid in creating balance in the spine.
In the clinic, our
staff will teach you how to do these
exercises. We then prescribe the
exercises as therapeutic homework.
Periodically during a regular office
visit, your exercise program is
monitored to be certain you are
progressing.
Massage Therapy
Used To Relieve Pain
If you have
adhesions (scar tissue formation) which
develop in your muscles and tendons, we
use the
VibraCussor®
Percussion
Instrument or a procedure known
as transverse friction massage to
remodel the adhesions, improve tissue
elasticity, and remove the source of
pain. If you have problems with painful
trigger points in muscles, we use a
VibraCussor®
Percussion
Instrument,
ArthroStim®
Myofascial Release Technique or a
procedure known as trigger point therapy
to eliminate this source of pain. We
also have available body work,
stretching, reflexology, energy
balancing, heat, ice, and the occasional
application of herbs with oils.
It is also possible you may need
adjustments to restore movement to
restricted joints in your feet,
shoulders, wrists, hands, knees or
ankles. Our comprehensive approach is
well suited for sports injuries, carpal
tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, shoulder
problems and chest pains due to rib
joint malfunction.
Support From
The Ground Up
If your foot arches are collapsing (a
condition known as excessive pronation),
we prescribe foot orthotics for
correction and support. Good posture
starts from the ground up. In other
words, problems in the feet and ankles
(even though the feet may not be
painful), can cause imbalances in the
spine and nervous system. For lasting
results (and maximum improvement of your
problem), your doctor must be concerned
about the foundation of your body.
Level of
Correction - Your Choice
At the
Chiropractic & Nutrition Wellness Center,
we also offer choices in the type and
direction of care you receive. After you
understand your health problem, you are
asked to choose between Relief Care and
Corrective Care. If you want Relief
Care, we adjust only the joints to
improve abnormal movement patterns, the
first step of the 3-step corrective
process. If you want Corrective Care, we
provide our full comprehensive approach.
All procedures are carefully explained
as to their purpose and therapeutic
goal, using informative audio-visual and
printed material.
Protection From
Excess X-Ray
"To see is to know, not to see is to
guess." We won't guess with your health.
So when x-rays are needed, we use modern
radiation safety equipment in order to
protect you from excessive x-ray
irradiation. We use rare earth film and
screens and a soft tissue filtration
system.
More
Comprehensive Care
By
integrating chiropractic care with
rehabilitative exercise (such as the
Back Power Program), nutrition and a
wellness oriented approach, patients
enjoy their treatment experience at
Chiropractic & Nutrition Wellness
Center. Our highly personalized,
comprehensive treatment plans are
designed and supervised by Dr. Johnson
and highly trained assistants. "I
treat all patient's as though they were
my close family," states Dr. Johnson.
We use
Insight Millenniumtm
which is a "High Tech", piece of
diagnostic equipment to get to the root
of your problem. One example is Surface
Electrode Electro-Myography (SEMG). This
helpful tool produces a graph of the
electrical activity of your muscles. The
SEMG does not use any needles or
electric shocks and is a pleasant
experience. Since abnormal muscle
function frequently accompanies spinal
problems, the information from the SEMG
will help Dr. Johnson determine the type
of care that is best for your case. In
addition, follow up tests may be
performed to determine how well you are
responding to your chiropractic care.
Specific
Nutrition/Supplementation Programs
Many of today's illnesses can be
prevented and/or corrected using
specific nutritional body chemistry
balancing. At the Chiropractic &
Nutrition Wellness Center, Dr. Johnson
uses the highly acclaimed and effective
Contact Reflex Analysis®
(CRA) developed, researched, and
taught by Dr. D.A. Versendaal and
Nutritional Response Testing®
(NRT) as developed by Freddie Ulan,
D.C.. Using CRA, and/or NRT, Dr.
Johnson can determine nutritional
imbalances which often lead to such
problems as heart disease, digestive
problems, migraines, skin conditions,
allergies, lack of energy, weight
problems, and many others. Once the
nutritional disturbance is identified by
CONTACT REFLEX ANALYSIS®
(CRA) and/or NRT, a nutritional
and/or supplementation program is
recommended for your problem. Even IF NO
OTHER DOCTOR HAS BEEN ABLE TO HELP WITH
YOUR CONDITION, YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT
CRA and NRT! Results with these
nutritional programs are often
incredible. Through CRA and NRT
many chronic problems can be corrected
or greatly relieved.
As an added
benefit, Dr. Johnson has been certified
in
Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination
Techniques® (NAET).
Allergies of all kinds plague millions
of people. Through a simple allergy
elimination program, Dr. Johnson has
been able to eliminate many allergies
from foods to chemicals to many
environmental allergens. Let us help you
become the best you can be!
Enjoying time with
family and friends is possible for you
when you are expressing your true health
potential. You may be able to overcome
your health problems with a personalized
clinical nutrition program (in
combination with chiropractic methods or
with nutrition alone). Dr. Johnson
continuously receives extensive training
in CRA, NRT, NAET and other
clinical nutrition therapies. As a
result, Dr. Johnson is well equipped to
work with you in regaining and
maintaining your most prized
possession...YOUR HEALTH.
State-of-the-Art Procedures
In summary, adjustments alone aren't
the total solution to a patient's
problems. A comprehensive personalized
exercise program emphasizing both
flexibility and strength is vital to
long-term results. Your posture from the
ground up is as important as a
well-delivered adjustment. Without a
stable foot foundation, adjustments
won't "hold" and soft tissues can't be
balanced. Secondary factors associated
with chronic spinal subluxations -- such
as trigger points and fibrotic changes
(scar tissue) in the muscles tendons and
ligaments -- need to be addressed with
special treatment procedures. Both of
these soft tissue lesions create pain
and cause recurrent spinal subluxation
complexes.
To sum up our structural approach at
the Chiropractic & Nutrition Wellness
Center, we first establish joint play
mobility through various adjustment
procedures, then establish flexibility
of the ligaments through the Spinal
Ligament Fulcrum Program, and finally
strengthen and BALANCE the supportive
muscles of the spine and related areas
which affect the spine using the
Back Power Plustm
program.
The
aim of this comprehensive approach is to
improve the communication connection
between your brain and your body....so
as to optimize the inborn healing power
you began life with!
