The basis behind chiropractic care is to gently align the bones of the spine in the proper position, so that the body can function as best as possible.  A joint out of  place is called a “subluxation.” Subluxations can be caused by chemical, physical, or psychological stresses to the body. Dr. Amy is a chiropractor in Chippewa Falls and utilizes a variety of chiropractic techniques including diversified (manual) , Activator (instrument), Thompson (using drop pieces on the adjusting table). Dr. Amy  is certified by the Academy of Family Practice in chiropractic pediatrics and  Dr. Amy is certified in the Webster Technique for pregnancy by the ICPA. This technique aligns the bones of the pelvis to allow the baby to drop into the best position for birth.

Dr. Amy has had post doctoral training in nutrition. She will make recommendations of supplements that may be helpful for: reducing certain symptoms, immune system support, or for general health.

In certain cases, Dr. Amy may use therapeutic modalities to assist in symptom reduction.Therapeutic ultrasound utilizes sound waves that are sent into the tissue to help break up inflammation.  Electrical stimulation  provides pain relief as well helps to decrease muscle tension. Kinesiotape  helps to reduce swelling and take pressure off of muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Exercises may help to assist in faster healing time and maintenance of proper alignment. Custom Orthotics may help to not only reduce foot pain, but may also assist with reducing low back pain and help to maintain spinal alignment. Dr. Amy has now completed training in Rockblades instrument assisted soft tissue Mobilization (IASTM). This technique uses metal and plastic tools to help reduce pain, relax soft tissues, release fascia,  and activate weakened muscles. This technique may be beneficial for improving athletic performance and injury recovery as well as post surgical recovery and reduction in scar tissue restrictions.
