Chiropractic & AK Services

Dr. Joel Vickers is a Doctor of Chiropractic who specializes in a diagnostic technique known as Applied Kinesiology

Being trained for over 28 years, he fully understands how a patient’s nutritional status could impact their body’s ability to heal and “hold” its Chiropractic adjustments.

However, as a Doctor of Chiropractic who specializes in Applied Kinesiology, there are other services I can render at Vickers AK Chiropractic that far surpass that of basic Chiropractic. For example, did you know  Carpal Tunnel Syndrome may be caused by one or more muscles that hold the bones of your wrist and forearm together and is easily corrected? Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

 Shoulder Injuries may or may not include damage to the rotator cuff muscles, which represent just FOUR of the TWENTY-SIX muscles that affect the shoulder joint.

Automobile whiplash may be the cause of a variety of musculoskeletal injuries that include (but are not limited to) headaches, neck pain and stiffness, shoulder or arm pain, tingling, or numbness, vision problems, tinnitus, etc. 

The symptoms of a concussion are memory loss, confusion, impaired judgment, impulse control problems, aggression, depression, suicidal thoughts, and progressive dementia. These symptoms can be vanquished with proper care. 

 

Back Pain

 TMJ and dental trauma leading to cranial faults may cause your knees to hurt, foot and ankle instability, and low back pain (not to mention headaches and upper back pain).

Middle and upper back pain may be caused by muscles that are turned off on the front of your chest. How? More often than not, exercise, especially chest work (push-ups, bench presses, etc.) is the main culprit.
