 Corrective Chiropractic Care
Not all chiropractic care is the same. While most chiropractors
focus merely on the elimination of pain and symptoms, we pride
ourselves on finding the cause of your problem, correcting it,
restoring you back to optimum health.
 Wellness Chiropractic Care
Once your health and wellness have been restored to your God –given
potential, Wellness Chiropractic Care is all about maintaining the
integrity of your nerve system and teaching you how to maintain
total wellness throughout your entire life.
 Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Not all chiropractors see infants and children. While most
chiropractors focus merely on the adult population, we pride
ourselves in complete family care. Chiropractic check-ups and
adjustments should begin at birth and continue throughout life to
ensure maximum health, vitality, and total wellness.
 Pre-Natal Chiropractic Care
Not all chiropractors adjust pregnant women. It is well known
now in both the medical and chiropractic communities that
chiropractic care is extremely effective for not only the pregnant
mother, but also the baby she is carrying in the womb. Chiropractic
care when started in “the womb” and continued throughout “from womb
to tomb” will ensure that all people involved are as healthy as
possible.
 Sports Injury Chiropractic Care
 Spinal Rehabilitation & ‘Core’
Stabilization

rehabilitation and core stabilization programs work on the same

massage therapy is available from a Certified Massage Therapist to
support your healing process. Massage is a great addition to your
chiropractic care. A properly administered massage relieves muscle
tension, removes toxins from the muscles of the body, and puts your
mind at ease effectively reducing emotional stress. Massages are
available by appointment only, call today to make yours!

 Lifestyle Evaluations & Customized
Nutrition
It is now well known in nearly every arena of health care that the
only person responsible for your health is YOU. Because of this
fact, we employ lifestyle evaluations and make recommendations for
changes in the necessary areas of your life. These include balancing
your stress and peace, nutrition, supplements, water intake, and
exercise to name a few.
 Wellness Seminars & Advanced Workshops
With our practice’s cornerstone being patient education,
our seminars and advanced workshops bring the latest information to
you about health and wellness on a variety of topics. This on-going
education insures that you can make the best possible decisions for
you and your family ‘s health and well-being. These seminars are
many times held right on sight after patient hours in our office and
at other times throughout the community at churches and other clubs
and organizations.
 Nutrition & Supplementation
Not all chiropractors offer nutrition and supplementation. We carry
and create foundational nutritional supplementation programs for our
patients who desire the next level of health. We understand that the
nervous system is the master control system, however, without proper
fuel, your body’s healing potential suffers. Talk to one of our
doctors to have your foundational nutrition analyzed. We use
Standard process and Mediherb products.
 Weight loss, Detoxification and Purification
What is Purification and Detoxification
Purification (also known as detoxification or cleansing) is the process of addressing the natural toxins in the body. The liver, digestive tract, kidneys, bladder, lymphatic system, lungs, and skin are the major systems/organs that are involved in the neutralization and elimination of toxins.
Because we are exposed to high levels of foreign substances and overconsume chemically-treated, synthetically-produced food, extra purification is needed. The Standard Process purification programs utilize whole food supplements, pure food, and water to give the body the resources it needs so that it can purify and rebuild itself naturally. Our programs place an emphasis on the liver and colon because these two organs play a major role in supporting the digestive system. *
The Standard Process purification programs will help you achieve a higher level of health by cleansing the body from the inside out.
Toxins in Our Environment
As a society, we face increasing amounts of challenges in our environment. We encounter substances every day from the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink, including: medications, pesticides, heavy metals, fumes, synthetic materials, cigarette smoke, caffeine, preservatives, and much more. In addition to these environmental challenges, our bodies produce waste by¬products (such as ammonia, carbon dioxide, and free radicals) as a result of normal metabolism that need to be eliminated. If these toxins are not neutralized and eliminated, the result is suboptimal health.
Do You Have Toxins in Your Body?
Think for a moment of all the foods and drinks you have consumed over your lifetime. The amount could literally add up to tens of thousands of pounds.
Answering the following questions may give you some insight as to your current toxic load.
|
Do you or have you eaten processed foods? Do you eat non-organic fruits and vegetables? Do you eat meat and poultry that is not free-range? Do you consume genetically-altered food?
Do you or have you ever used artificial sweeteners? Do you drink soda?
Do the foods you eat have preservatives, additives, dyes, or sweeteners added?
Do you eat fast foods and/or eat out regularly?
Do you charbroil or grill foods?
Do you drink coffee regularly?
Do you drink alcohol?
Do you drink tap water?
|
If the majority of your answers are yes, then it is likely that your diet contributes significantly to your toxic load. In addition to your diet, you are also exposed to other irritants such as cigarette smoke, pollution, hair dyes, dry cleaning fluids, cosmetics, exhaust fumes, soaps, perfumes, cleaners, and drugs. This everyday exposure to these substances may have you feeling less than your best, experiencing:
|
Food cravings
Reduced mental clarity
Low libido
Weight gain
Fatigue or difficulty sleeping
Poor digestion

The Standard Process Purification Programs
We realize that every person is in a different place in his or her level of personal fitness and each person has different goals. That is why we provide you with two different programs to choose from. By working together, we can help you determine the program best for you. It does not matter which program you choose; what is important is that for three weeks you follow the program in its entirety.
What to Expect During Purification
As you progress through your recommended purification program, you may experience some changes. As always, please talk with us or email us at rhagmeyerdc@aol.com if you have questions about how you feel or what you are experiencing.
Some Benefits of Completing the Standard Process Purification Program Many people who complete the purification program experience:
|
Increased energy
Better digestion
Less bloating
Clearer skin
Shinier hair
Disappearance or lessening of past conditions (PMS, digestive problems, etc.)
|
Purification programs can have a significant, positive effect on the biochemistry of the body while allowing harmful toxins and by-products of daily metabolism to be eliminated. *
Other Changes
|
For some people going through the purification program, the frequency and quantity of urination increases. This is a normal reaction as the body begins to burn fat and natural insulin levels drop. This will level out after a few days.
Some people also notice an increase in the quantity of bowel movements. This too is normal. Most people today have forgotten what a complete bowel movement entails.
In rare instances, some people experience a throbbing sensation in the head, generalized aches, itchy skin, or fatigue. These are normal occurrences as the body detoxifies and will pass after a day or two.*
|
What Purification Means for You
Upon the completion of your recommended program, you will have a different mindset about food, your body, and your health. You may experience some or all of the following:
|
Increased energy/vitality
Improved health
Weight reduction
Improved digestion
Improved physical appearance
Removal of food addictions
Clearer thinking
Improved elimination*

 Hormonal Testing using Saliva
Hormones have a profound effect on your everyday health and
well-being. Although present in only tiny amounts, hormones act on
every cell of your body. Hormones have individual affects, but also
interact with each other to produce dramatic effects in the body.
Because of these interactions, they are able to trigger multiple
body systems.
