SERVICES

  • Nutritional Counseling

    We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another? Dr. Tori Ritchie and Dr. Sandra Buffkin can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs. 

  • Laser Therapy

    During each painless treatment, laser energy increases circulation, drawing water, oxygen and nutrients to the damaged area. This creates an optimal healing environment that reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness and pain. As the injured area returns to normal, function is restored, and pain is relieved. This is a non-invasive opiate free solution to pain. We are a certified provider of the Summus Horizon Laser, level 4. 

  • Chiropractic Care

    We provide spinal correction utilizing gentle chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each patient is a whole person, and helping them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.

  • Additional Therapies

    We provide several therapy options to address tight muscles and fascia. These therapies include:

    Kinesiology Tapping: Supports muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Can aid in pain relief.

    Ultrasound:  Deep heating to soft tissues to increase blood flow, promote healing, and reduce pain.

    Traction and Flexion/Distraction: Form of spinal decompression

    Cupping: Pulls on your skin using suction to improve blood flow to a sore area.

    ESTIM:  Electrical impulses that make muscle contraction to aid in muscle relaxation post therapy.

  • Massage Therapy

    Massage therapy offers a natural conservative treatment approach that relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. Our office provides specific massage and muscular therapy that is tailored to meet the patient's condition and injury. The benefits of massage therapy may include increasing blood circulation, reducing swelling, relaxing muscles, relieving muscle pain and spasms, and aid in recovery and range of motion.
