Infrared Sauna Wraps - 40 or 60 minute sessions
Infrared technology creates deep penetrating heat to all tissues of the body, increasing circulation to promote healing. During this treatment, you will be lying flat wrapped in a sauna bag. This bag is connected to an IR energy source, which will created the intense heat. The IR wave form will create a vibration of the cells, which in turn, creates heat. This vibration will stimulate the cells, break down cell debris, increase oxygen, and even aid in weight loss and reduction of cellulite. For increased weight loss/cellulite reduction, your treatment time is increased to 60 minutes, and you are further wrapped in tight herbal-soaked wraps to promote weight loss and inch reduction.
Ionic Foot Detox - 30 minute sessions
The foot bath creates charged ions that enter your body through the numerous pores in the feet. These ions will help balance the pH of your body. Your body will benefit from the elimination of cell waste from your body through normal elimination processes. The machine does NOT pull toxins out of your feet, as some may claim. The water color will change according to an electrochemical reaction. You will be seated in comfort while your feet are in warm water.
Therapeutic Massage
We recommend massage in combination with your chiropractic care. While chiropractic focuses on the relationship between the spine and its impact on the nervous system, massage focuses on the 650 muscles of the body. Both disciplines work together to help keep the body in proper alignment, balance and function.
Retraining Your Spine
Long-standing spinal problems are accompanied by ingrained muscle patterns. Muscle spasms and scar tissue are often involved. By augmenting your chiropractic care with massage therapy, these muscle and soft tissue problems can be addressed. This can help speed your recovery and enhance the retraining of your spine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where Will My Massage Take Place?
Your massage will take place in a quiet, warm comfortable room. Soft lighting may be used to create a relaxing atmosphere. You'll lie on a soft, comfortable table. Music may be played softly in the background to aid in the relaxation process of your mind and nervous system.
What Should I Wear to the Massage Appointment?
Comfortable clothing is recommended, however therapeutic massage is typically performed with the client unclothed. You will be appropriately draped at all times. Most people undress completely, while some leave some clothing on such as underwear. You decide what level of comfort is right for you. Your privacy is respected at all times.
What Parts of My Body Will Be Massaged?
You and the therapist will discuss the desired outcome. A typical full body massage session will include work on your back, arms, legs, head, neck and shoulders. You will not be touched on or near your genitals or breasts.
Will a Lubricant Be Used?
A light oil or lotion will be used to reduce excessive friction to the skin and allow smoother, deeper strokes. The lubricants used also help to hydrate the skin. If you are allergic to certain oils or scents, just tell the therapist.
What Will The Massage Feel Like?
It depends on the techniques used. Your massage session may start with broad flowing strokes to begin the relaxation process. Pressure will be gradually increased to relax specific areas and release tight muscle bands. Deep tissue massage or trigger point therapies will require deeper pressure and more intensive techniques. It?s important that the pressure always be within your comfort level. Should you wish to receive less or more pressure at anytime, tell your therapist.
Will I Be Sore as a Result of the Massage?
Occasionally, some people may be sore/tender in places the next day, depending on the type of massage and degree of pressure they received. It?s important to communicate with your therapist if the pressure is uncomfortable at any time. Drinking additional fluids following your massage may reduce these symptoms. These symptoms will usually subside by the following day.
Reflexology - 45 minute sessions
This therapy approaches the body as a whole with interrelated systems. Your reflexologist stimulates all the reflex points on your foot and ankle, supporting overall well-being and enabling your body to concentrate healing energies wherever they are needed. Reflexology is used as a complementary care for people with a variety of conditions. Headaches, sinus pressure, arthritis pain and premenstrual discomforts are just a few of the many symptoms that can be alleviated through reflexology.
Reiki - 45 minute sessions
This practice is an ancient Japanese therapy that uses gentle hands-on healing that taps into the energy referred to as "ki" in Japan, or "chi" in China. Reiki is not massage, hypnosis, or a tool for diagnosis. This therapy will address both chronic and acute conditions, gently and powerfully promoting balance among all the body's systems and the regenerative processes of body and mind.
