PHILOSOPHY
Life happens when you are able to live!
Healthiness isn't best defined by how we are feeling, but is better demonstrated by how we are functioning according to the design of our structural makeup.
We all want to feel good and be healthy, and we can have both! Understanding how our body's work, will open a menu of lifestyle necessities for us to choose.
​
We will see on this menu of "healthy lifestyle choices", an often overlooked activity, that we know as chiropractic spinal care. Because of the spine's design and purpose, it is a vital organ, to and for, our healthiness. And because of it's intimate relationship to our nervous and muscular systems, our spine is a prime influencer of our health expression.
​
Our body's physical well-being depends not just on our genetics, but, even more so, on how we take care of it. Thomas Edison said the role of each of us, not just our doctor's, is to invest time and energy in caring for our frame, our body, as a whole system.
​
So, by taking a closer look at that "healthy lifestyle choices" menu, and by including chiropractic spinal care as part of our regular nutritious, restful, exercising and positive attitude meals, we can be ready to feel better and be healthier...yes, we can have both!
​
For young Bobby, life was not going well, for he wasn't able to live it. Before Bobby began a regular routine of chiropractic spinal care, he was a bright 9 year older who's light was fading with each passing day. He was struggling in school and at home academically and socially. His parents didn't want him to go down the road of drugs and medications, so mom and dad asked questions and researched and discovered that chiropractic spinal care was a health field that made so much sense! Through a recommendation to our office, Bobby's case was accepted, and along with other key lifestyle changes, Bobby's light, and his parent's too, is brighter than ever!

CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL CARE
DECOMPRESSION TRACTION
Chiro, in chiropractic, is short for chirality, which refers to the left or right, like your left or right hand, so, since the art of chiropractic is a "hands on" approach, it's a good fit for the title of a Doctor of Chiropractic, aka, D.C., or the person, chiropractor.
The founding father, D.D. Palmer, studied the human frame and it's related systems and blended ancient spinal manipulation concepts with contemporary understanding of the spine, nervous and muscular systems, and demonstrated in 1895, that our well-being is greatly influenced by a healthy spine.
​
Just as dentist's use the term "cavity" to describe decay in the teeth, chiropractor's coined the term, spinal or vertebral subluxation, to describe mal-function of the joints of the spine. So, since D.D. Palmer until today, chiropractors are specialists in detecting and correcting spinal subluxations.
​
The field of chiropractic is an art, a science and a philosophy, and has been helping children, adults and seniors have better health, and as a bonus, feel better!
​
Decompression Spinal Treatment isn't just spinal traction...it's a whole lot more!
​
This state of the art treatment has helped many people avoid spinal disc and spinal stenosis surgeries, as well as, help osteo-arthritic spinal conditions and spinal injuries of the low back and neck regions.
​
Decompression treatment is a great compliment to chiropractic spinal care, or as a stand alone approach.
​
Not all spinal conditions qualify for this type of treatment, but if you want to avoid surgery, you owe it yourself to find out.

WHOLE BODY ANALYSIS
​
Have health goals? Is your exercising and eating really making a difference?
​
By knowing your "key health indicators", you have a real account of how your lifestyle is working!
By using a whole body scanner, we measure your weight, bmi, body fat and lean muscle mass percentages, resting metabolism, body age and your visceral fat level. These indicators can be your best friends!
​
NUTRITION JUST FOR YOU
Most of us know the "goods and bads" of how and what to eat, but what about supplementing our eating? Where do you start? There's so many choices and options...which ones are good ones? It can be overwhelming!
A good place to start is with knowing the processing of the supplements...how the they are made. How close are they to being a "whole" food. What is the absorption availability level?
​
Also critical to know is when and how to take.
We start by knowing your needs that are gathered from physical evaluation, systems survey and toxicity questionnaire. Recommendations are then based on addressing the most primary needs. We have found that by helping the primary, most other needs are also helped.
​
Among the nutritional health products we endorse are Standard Process and Mediherb, Zilis hemp oil, topical analgesic, botanicals and personal products, as well as, doTerra nutritionals, essential oils and personal products.

ABOUT THE DOCTOR AND OUR FEES
​
We have more to share about Dr. Joe O'Donnell, and our fees, under our Appointment section of this web site, and then under, Make A Reservation and Our Treatments areas, but here is a brief background of our fees.
​
We believe going to the doctor shouldn't be scary or expensive, so we have structured our fees to accommodate for the on-going requirements that our bodies need to be and stay healthier. The big expense comes when we don't care for our bodies and we need "crisis" oriented procedures.
​
We believe our fees are reasonable. In addition to self-pay options, we participate with several health insurances and most car related insurances.
DIGITAL LASER FEET SCAN
Are the benefits from your chiropractic spinal care not lasting very long or not helping very much? Do you have unexplained knee or hip area
pain? Are your feet starting to hurt?
​
All of these experiences usually have a common cause...the arches in your feet!
​
Excessive foot pronation, aka, dropped arches, are often overlooked, but are often a cause of all the above mentioned health issues, and many more.
​
As part of our chiropractic structural evaluation, we check your feet with a weight bearing, digital laser scanner...because the rest of your body depends on a strong foundation!
​
​
COLD LASER LIGHT TREATMENT
​
Let's face it, just living beats our bodies up! Then add to that all the minor to major injuries we experience...no wonder we have so many aches and pains!
Cold Laser Light brings a faster and more complete healing to injured bones and ligaments, muscles, tendons, discs, nerves and joints.
This treatment is a game changer!

​

By applying specific harmonic frequencies, via square wave oscillations carried by electrodes, the unique electronic signature of many dis-eases can be modified so as to destroy the organisms which causes the dis-ease...

​
COMPLEMENTING THERAPIES
