CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS

Chiropractic is about improving your overall health by restoring the normal function within your spine and nervous system. When misalignments (subluxations) occur, it causes an interference in the connection between your brain and your body. The nervous system controls and coordinates the function of all the systems in the body: circulatory, respiratory, digestive, hormonal, eliminative and immune system. Therefore, any aspect of health may be impaired by nerve interference. Dr. Allen’s Chiropractic adjustments restore nervous system function allowing the body to function and heal naturally. Dr. Allen is highly-trained and uses a hands-on approach to healing that is both gentle and effective, making it safe for the whole family. Your body is designed to feel well and thrive!

MODERN ACUPUNTURE

Dr. Allen utilizes a non-invasive form of Acupuncture point stimulation. This means there are NO NEEDLES used, instead there is an adjustable "current" that targets the Acupuncture points. This helps reduce symptoms and speed up the healing process. We have found this method to be the most efficient and effective for most of our patients.

Acupuncture involves the stimulation or sedation of strategic points on your body with various devices. A key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Acupuncture is used to treat pain and overall wellness. TCM explains Acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force (known as chi or qi), believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By treating specific points along these meridians, Acupuncture restores and balances the mind and body.

PREGNANCY CARE

Chiropractic treatments can promote a healthy, stress-free pregnancy by alleviating joint pain, muscle aches and nausea. Prenatal care is exceptional for many reasons for both mother and baby. Misaligned and restricted joints may be caused by weight gain, changes to the alignment of the pelvis, changes to posture, and increased curvature of the back. Improving your natural alignment and positioning makes for a comfortable pregnancy and aids in a healthy delivery.

AUTO INJURY

Car accidents occur every day and are very frightening. You may be unsure of what to do next because all of the information can be confusing. Injuries like these may cause serious damage if left untreated. Any collision over 10 mph can create whiplash, which decreases your range of motion and progresses spinal degeneration. Patients involved in car accidents should never let the absence of immediate symptoms or pain keep them from having a complete spinal exam. Oftentimes, it may take several hours or days for the body to calm down before pain, stiffness, or soreness set in.

Dr. Allen recommends being evaluated as soon as possible following an auto accident. Early detection of whiplash and other injuries to the spine is the key to overcoming any pain you may be experiencing, and accelerating the healing process in order to prevent lasting issues.

Car accident injuries are a major problem due to the fact that they often cause severe damage to muscles, bones, tendons and ligaments of the spine and surrounding areas. If left untreated, these injuries can change the natural curvature of the spine, resulting in permanent functional loss.

Many of the complex issues Dr. Allen treats related to car accidents are:

Whiplash
Headaches & Migraines
Dizziness & Vertigo
Neck Pain
Back Pain
Shoulder Pain
Hip & Leg Pain
Knee & Foot Pain
Wrist Pain
Herniated Discs
Soft Tissue Injury

Most auto-related injuries are covered 100% in Iowa so you can get the care you need! We are here to help guide you through this process with ease after obtaining your claim number and helping you with any necessary paperwork.

This will drastically reduce the need for ongoing medication and/or surgery. Studies show over 93% of patients showed significant improvement following Chiropractic care. If necessary, Dr. Allen has an extensive network of health professionals and attorneys he works with to make sure you get the absolute best care possible.

INTERSEGMENTAL TRACTION

Intersegmental traction therapy mobilizes the spinal column while stretching the ligaments and muscles. The rollers under the surface of the table creates space between your joints by moving up and down your spine. This helps relax your muscles and prepares your body and soft tissues for your adjustment. This makes our gentle adjustments even more comfortable and effective!

This treatment is a component of our all-inclusive chiropractic care regimen. It increases blood flow and oxygen to your ligaments, muscles, and discs which helps improve your balance, strength, and mobility. It is a fan-favorite!

PHYSIOTHERAPY

Dr. Allen may often provide physiotherapy techniques to guide patients on exercises or stretches that can accompany your Chiropractic care plan. We understand that sometimes conditions have associated soft tissue (muscle, ligament, tendon, fascia) issues that may be in conjunction with structural alignment issues. These are often the result of overuse activities, sedentary lifestyle or chronic working environments. Rest assured we will provide you with the right therapies to help alleviate your chronic pain. Dr. Allen also works closely with massage therapists, physical therapists, and Orthopedic surgeons to find the right solution for you.

X-RAY ANALYSIS

Depending on your age, health history, and presentation, digital films may be taken on your initial visit. This vital information will aid in developing the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert our doctors of any serious spinal and health conditions that may otherwise be left unseen.

"To see is to know, not to see is to guess, and we do not want to guess with your health!"

NON-SURGICAL SPINE DECOMPRESSION - Coming Soon!

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is a safe and conservative therapy that helps relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves. This treatment creates space for discs to rehydrate and heal by gently stretching the spine using advanced computer-guided technology. Many patients with chronic back pain caused by degenerative disc disease, herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, or even failed back surgery respond well to this therapy. Unlike traditional traction, Decompression uses precise angles and force to avoid triggering muscle resistance. This allows better nutrient flow, blood circulation, and a natural healing response at the source.
