Chiropractic Care
We provide advanced chiropractic care 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 diagnostic and corrective methods are even safer, more comfortable, and more effective than ever before. Chiropractic is NOT just for “back pain” . . . as Doctors of Chiropractic, Drs. Flaim and Owen have had years of training and experience in spinal and extremity (shoulders, knees, ankles, etc) evaluation and adjusting. Sore hips, knees, ankles or feet? We can help! Our diagnosis and treatment look at the whole person, their lifestyle, and family history, in order to offer the most permanent solution to the particular problem. We do not simply address “pain,” because that is merely a symptom of a larger underlying problem.
Corrective Exercises
We teach our patients special rehabilitative exercises designed to help correct their own unique problem and improve their overall level of health and well-being. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home, and can improve the effectiveness of the adjustments by up to 30-40%. In addition to joint restrictions/skeletal misalignments, muscles and connective tissues (tendons and ligaments) can be strained or injured as a result of improper biomechanics. The rehabilitative exercises and stretches can help to correct these imbalances and help you maintain an optimal level of health.
Lifestyle Advice
Often, we find it helpful to “coach” our patients on certain activities that they should avoid or do differently, in order to avoid aggravating their particular condition. Our goal with this “activity modification” is to help every patient have a fulfilling and happy lifestyle---full of the activities that they enjoy most. With modification (often very small changes), most patients can continue doing their favourite hobby or activity with a minimum of discomfort. Our goal is to KEEP you doing the things you love—not giving them up.

Flaim and Owen can provide detailed supplemental and nutritional recommendations based on your individual needs.
