CHIROPRACTIC

Chiropractic adjustments are safe and effective. They have helped many problems including: arthritis, gastritis, allergies, high blood pressure and constipation. This is achieved through the removal of subluxations which cause irritation to the spinal nerves and adversely affect the body’s organ systems. We do not claim to cure these problems. With the removal of subluxations or pinched nerves, the body’s innate ability to heal itself is increased and thus these problems can get better. Some conditions treated at our office: back and neck pain, whiplash, sciatica and disc problems, shoulder pain, knee pain, radiating pain into the arms and legs, numbness and tingling in hands and feet, Tennis elbow, Golfer’s elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches, hip disorders, muscle spasms, pinched nerves, sports injuries.

ACUPUNCTURE

The individualized acupuncture treatments are done in a relaxing small group setting in recliners and fully clothed. We practice a style of acupuncture that mostly uses “distal” points in the arms, hands, legs, feet, ears and head to treat problems anywhere in the body – meaning we will probably treat pain in your back by placing tiny needles in your hands and feet. Sharing the room with other people experiencing the mind-calming and body-harmonizing benefits of acupuncture amplifies the overall healing energy in the room. Yuly Fridman performs Acupuncture but also, Cupping, Guasha, and Chinese Herbs.
