Structural

A strong and stable structural system is the basis for good health. Our center provides specialized treatments to ensure proper correction and rehabilitation. Our chiropractic techniques not only treat spinal injuries but also the extremities, temporomandibular joints, and cranial bones. Dr. Merritt is trained in 17 different techniques that enable her to successfully treat her patients with low-force, gentle and effective techniques.

Our physical therapeutic techniques utilize therapy machines and targeted exercises to facilitate healing. If certain joint, spinal or musculature dysfunctions are detected and then an active rehabilitation program is created.

Dr. Merritt is certified in acupuncture and is professionally trained to use traditional needles and also an electro-acupuncture technique. Magnets, a laser light or essential oils over acupuncture points may be administered.
