Services & Techniques
At Atlantis Chiropractic, Inc., we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our Indian Harbour Beach chiropractic office.
Chiropractic Care
We provide advanced spinal correction and neuromuscular re-education utilizing "state of the art" 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. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. David Sanders has over 20 years of training and experience in all facets of chiropractic and neurological care.
Therapeutic Exercises
We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal and neurological correction. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.
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. David Sanders can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.
Percussive Therapy
Therapy with the Percussor offers a natural conservative treatment approach that relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. Our office provides specific percussive massage and muscular therapy that is tailored to meet the patient's condition and injury. The benefits of percussive massage therapy may include increasing blood circulation, reducing swelling, relaxing muscles, relieving muscle pain and spasms, and aid in recovery and range of motion.
Interactive Metronome
The Interactive Metronome is a cutting-edge neurological assessment and treatment tool used to improve the brain's inherent ability to repair or remodel itself. (This process is called neuroplasticity and appears to take place in the cerebellum, prefrontal cortex, cingulate gyrus, and basal ganglia during Interactive Metronome training.) The Interactive Metronome program provides a structured, goal-oriented process that challenges the patient to synchronize a range of hand and foot exercises to a precise computer generated reference tone heard through headphones. The patient attempts to match the rhythmic beat with repetitive motor actions. An audio or audio and visual guidance system provides immediate feedback measured in milliseconds, and a score is provided.
Cold Laser Therapy
The Erchonia Laser can decrease scar tissue formation, increase microcirculation, accelerate wound healing (if you are interested, ask to see the photographs at the front desk), stimulates immune system activity, helps cellular detoxification, decreases pain, improves range of motion, decreases arthritis, accelerates fracture repair and can also be used to stimulate acupuncture points.
Balance Training
Balance training is recommended when an individual does not score well on the 30 second Computerized Assessment for Postural Stability (CAPS) test. The computer plots your center of pressure during the test and compares it to age and height matched norms and calculates several things: your stability score (how stable you are or your probability of having a fall), how many millimeters you swayed, the direction of your sway, how linear your sway was (indicating possible semicircular canal involvement), how much you fatigued during the test, and how well you adapted to the test.
Dynamic Educational Presentations
An interesting thing I remember learning in school was that the word “doctor” does not mean “healer”. The word “doctor” actually means “teacher”. Since learning that, I have strived to educate as many people as possible about the nervous systems’ role in the maintenance of health.
To help with this task, I have created several dynamic multimedia educational presentations which I rotate on a weekly basis. (There is not a charge for these presentations, however seating is extremely limited and you are encouraged to reserve your seat early!)
