Achieve Wellness Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic - a natural alternative to surgery and drugs.
Chiropractic is a natural approach to health that is based on the relationship between the nervous system and the function of all the body’s glands, organs and systems. It recognizes the fact that the human body is a self-healing, self-regulating organism that is inherently designed to be healthy.
The nervous system is the body’s master control system and it holds the key to the body’s ability to heal and express itself. Chiropractors understand that the body is continually striving to achieve a state of balance with its environment. Stressors to the body affect its ability to function optimally, causing weaknesses and imbalances. By finding and correcting these imbalances through chiropractic , the body can be restored to health. This involves stabilizing, then strengthening your body as we partner together to modify your lifestyle habits. Read our Frequently Asked Questions for more information.

Custom Orthotics
The Foot Levelers Scanner allows Dr. Ley to scan the feet digitally to screen for imbalances that may be contributing to painful conditions in the feet, ankles, knees, hips and spine. Since the feet are the foundation for the rest of the body, it is important to look there first to add structural support if necessary. If it is determined that you need support in one of the 3 arches in your feet, custom orthotics can be ordered for you. Many insurance companies reimburse for these supports. If you would like to see if you could benefit from custom orthotics , please call to make an appointment for a complimentary scan.

7 Ways to Prevent Back Pain
- Lift heavy weights close to your body…do not use long levers to lift (arms outstretched with weight at end) and do not lift and twist
- Bend your knees when you lift…this allows your low back muscles to be engaged and able to support what you lift
- Stretch before getting out of bed…bring one knee to chest at a time, then both together and make small circles in each direction. When you get up, take a few minutes to swing arms around to left and to right, creating a twisting motion. Let your arms and shoulders be loose and relaxed. This should be pain-free
- Strengthen your low back muscles by lying face down on floor or mat, and raise both arms out in front of you in “V” format. Hold for 3 seconds, lower and repeat 10 times. Do not do this if you already have back pain
- Check your posture by getting up from your work station every hour and stretching, arms overhead; reach side to side
- Avoid placing heating pad on back when having discomfort or pain…when in doubt, use ice.
- Work on keeping your hamstring muscles (back of the thigh) stretched out
