Chiropractic Manipulation: This is also referred to as an "adjustment" and is a specific manipulation a chiropractor performs to a body part (most commonly an area of the spine) that has an abnormal movement pattern or fails to function normally. The main objective of the manipulation is to correct the abnormality, increase range of motion, decrease nerve irritability, and restore proper function. Acupuncture/ Chinese Medicine: Traditional Chinese Medicine is based off of the belief that the body is made up of energy flow known as "chi" or "qi". An imbalance of this "chi" (qi) is what causes disease. The practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine uses acupuncture and herbs to restore this balance in order to restore health. Nutritional Therapy/ Counseling: A combination of both supplementation and instruction in proper eating in order to treat or help support an individual in order to gain or maintain optimal health. Craniosacral Therapy: CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system. By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction.

Rehabilitation: The restoration of a patient or a patient's specific body part in order to gain normal or as normal as possible function following a disease or injury. Physical Medicine: The application of a modality or physical treatment such as electric stimulation, ultrasound, combination, or massage in order to aid in the recovery of a patient. Infrared Light Therapy: Light therapy is one of the latest modes of therapy. It has been shown through research and testing to aid in the healing process. Specific conditions include acne, wounds, soft tissue injuries, fractures, the rebuilding of collagen as seen in degenerative joint diseases like arthritis, and many others. Massage Therapy: A therapy used in conjunction or on it's own to aid in the treatment of a patient in order to increase range of motion and break up trigger points and fibrous adhesions/ scar tissue. Various body work techniques are used to achieve this and include many techniques from a general Swedish massage to a more deep tissue technique such as Sports massage. Kinesiotaping: The Kinesio Taping® Method involves taping over and around muscles in order to assist and give support or to prevent over-contraction. The first technique gives the practitioner the opportunity to actually give support while maintaining full range of motion. This enables the individual to participate in their normal physical activity with functional assistance. The second technique, which is most commonly used in the acute stage of rehabilitation, helps prevent overuse or over-contraction and helps provide facilitation of lymph flow for an entire 24 hour period. (definition as per Kinesiotaping Institute) Exercise Prescription: The prescription of specific exercises to a patient in order to help obtain a specific goal or to aid in the progression of their rehabilitation program. Custom Orthotic Fitting: an individualized consultation and evaluation is done of not only your feet, but also the way you walk and carry yourself. This is followed by a scan of your feet to see how they bare your weight. The scan and evaluation are compiled, sent out, and orthotics are made that are specific to the patient. Research has supported that orthotics have helped in relieving conditions such as common back pain. 30-Day Purification and Weight Loss Program: this program is designed to promote proper body function as well as teach the patient how to properly fuel and maintain their body. It is a foundational program that is meant to give a person a place to start and the basic tools to do so. The overall goal is to get the body to work at it's most optimal in order to let go of unnecessary weight. It includes all basic supplements, an initial assessment, and 2 follow-ups with Dr. Jurik.
