Chiropractic
Chiropractic was established in 1895 when DD Palmer adjusted a vertebrae in Harvey Lillard’s mid back after he told DD that 17 years prior he had bent over, heard a pop and went deaf. Since that time Chiropractic has been helping people reach their health goals by restoring the natural communication occurring between the brain and the body through the nervous system. Your body sends and receives over 17 trillion messages per minute. Minor changes in the body’s posture can result in a delay of messages, and over time this results in a process of dis-ease. By re-aligning the spine and its joints, posture is restored and the mechanics of the body continue to improve. It is for this reason many people are turning to chiropractic to not only restore their health, but also to improve their performance at any age. Within the profession there are many adjusting techniques that serve this purpose. In our office we concentrate on the mechanics of the body and the balancing of the brain through adjustments.
Cranial
Chiropractic Craniopathy is a specialty within chiropractic and Sacro Occipital Therapy, a method of chiropractic that includes the whole body, not just the spine. It is a system of analysis that guides the doctor to the source of the physical stress, be it from muscles, organs, spine, pelvis, extremities or cranium. Its overall goal is to bring balance to the autonomic nervous system- the system that controls rest-repair and fight-flight- which deals with the 23 movable bones of the skull and the membranes that support and protect the brain and spinal cord. Like any other chiropractic method, Craniopathy’s goal is to remove physical stress from the nervous system, 80% of which resides in the skull.
The types of conditions helped by Craniopathy are best demonstrated by what it can do for children and can produce dramatic changes in behavior, learning abilities and motor skills.
A three month old boy who had cried non-stop and did not sleep well for three months more than likely due to over stimulation of the sensory area of the brain
was 80% better within three visits. By restoring balance to the cranium, his nervous system was better able to adapt to his surroundings.
A three year old boy with autism who couldn’t stand or sit still, stood quietly holding his mother’s hand for the first time in his life after being worked on.
Many infants that have trouble feeding, have regurgitation, colic are usually helped by Chiropractic Craniopathy because the nerves that control sucking, swallowing and digestion are cranial nerves, exiting from the base of the skull.

Nutritional Assessments
The technique is PAINLESS, POWERFUL and PERSONALIZED. A Doctor uses his/her hand, pressing lightly on a patient’s acupuncture points, reflex locations or body organs while simultaneously checking a strong muscle group. In this way we 1) identify the stressors adversely affecting your organs or glands, 2) identify their priority and 3) we determine the corresponding tools to correct your imbalance(s).
We can then pinpoint the correct whole-food supplements and/or herbs for your body and recommend needed dietary and lifestyle changes. The result is a personalized health improvement program that addresses your own body’s imbalances and corrects its operation. Our goals are the same as yours- to achieve good health and to once again feel good- SAFELY, NATURALLY and EFFECTIVELY.

Emotional Freedom Technique
Dr. Jessica is certified in the Emotional Freedom Technique. A method of quickly and easily ridding yourself of damaging emotional baggage and “trapped emotions”. This technique is available for all ages, fabulous for adopted children or situations where one may not know the whole story. Fantastic to determine if your issue is a result of an emotional block or inherited DNA process. As part of the session Dr Jessica will also teach you EFT or Tapping as a way to access acupuncture meridians, without needles, to assist the body in releasing physical and emotional ailments. The combination of 5,000 year old acupuncture points with modern day affirmations are shown to short- circuit the imbalance and allow the body to move closer towards healing.
You will remain seated as you are lead through a series of affirmations and a tapping sequence. You will know how to continue this technique at home after just the first session.
Massage
Massage is the art of relaxing superficial and deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue using various techniques, to enhance function, aid in the healing process, and promote relaxation and well-being.
At health inc., massages are designed around your needs. You choose a stress release, relaxation or a sports medicine, acute injury session.
Reiki
Reiki (pronounced “ray-kee”) is a Japanese word that translates as Universal Life Energy – the energy that surrounds and animates every living thing. Reiki is a form of spiritual healing that channels this “universal life energy” through the practitioner to the recipient. It is a wonderful complement to chiropractic care, providing a simple, non-invasive healing that can reduce stress, promote relaxation, and balance body, mind and spirit.
Reiki is different from massage, in that very little physical contact is involved. Clients lie down, fully clothed, on a massage table while touched lightly at key points, channeling reiki energy as needed.
Consultation
We also offer one-on-one consultations with Dr. Jessica via telephone or Skype to discuss your personal health goals, your desired outcome, and to help you formulate a plan for your success.
