Chiropractic Care and Natural Medicine

An important shift from a "crisis" mindset to a "preventative" mindset is essential.  Many people wait until the pain they’re experiencing is unbearable before seeking help.  We must begin to realize that taking an active role in your health is the key to saving time, money, and most importantly, how you feel.  Take the time to listen to your body and do not ignore what it's trying to tell you.  Time is of the essence and only you can take the first step and make the decision to feel good again.  Tranquility Wellness is dedicated to serving and supporting you, every step of the way.

Dr. Emily Loveland, who has an extensive and diverse medical and wellness background, specializes in chiropractic/manipulative therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, Graston technique, Kinesiotaping and various other rehabilitation and nutritional therapies. She understands her patients’ needs and assists them in carefully examining the cause of their pain, effectively administers treatment plans, while encouraging healthy eating, exercise, and stress-management practices.  Dr. Loveland’s one-on-one approach gives you the individualized attention you deserve.  Her careful consideration and interest in each and every patient is what sets her apart from other Chiropractic Clinics.

Hands-on Therapy

Chiropractic Manipulative Therapy-

Chiropractic Manipulative Therapy/Spinal Manipulation or "adjustment" refers to gentle pressure or a high-velocity low-amplitude thrust to help restore function and motion to a joint that has become restricted.  The manipulation also stimulates the nervous system to help reduce pain and relax local musculature.

Myofascial Release-

Myofascial Release is a gentle blend of stretching and soft tissue mobilization using traction and positioning of the body to coax muscles in spasm to relax and breakdown painful adhesions in the fascia. This technique can be used to ease pressure in the fibrous bands of connective tissue, or the fascia which encases muscles throughout the body. Sheaths of this dense and elastic connective tissue weave about blood vessels, bones, and nerves as well, forming an intricate, 3-D web that supports your organs and joints from head to toe and acts as the body's shock absorber.

Scarring or injury to this network of connective tissue is a major cause of pain and impeded motion. Myofascial Release aims to alleviate these problems by breaking up, or "releasing," constrictions or snags in the fascia.


Cupping-

An ancient technique has found its place in the modern world of healing. Through suction and negative pressure, cupping releases rigid soft tissue; drain excess fluids and toxins; loosen adhesions and lift connective tissue; and bring blood flow to stagnant skin and muscles.

Graston Technique-

This Technique is a patented instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables the clinician to break down scar tissue and soft tissue restrictions. This technique utilizes stainless steel instruments that are designed to specifically locate and effectively treat areas that exhibit soft tissue fibrosis and chronic inflammation.

Kinesio Taping-

The Kinesio Taping Method involves taping over and around muscles in order to assist and give support while maintaining full range of motion, enabling the individual to participate in physical activity with functional assistance.   At Tranquility Wellness, Kinesio Tape in used in conjunction with other therapies, including rehabilitation exercises, chiropractic manipulation, massage therapy and other soft tissue therapies. The patented tape is Latex free, ultra hypoallergenic, water resistant, breathable, and worn for up to 5 days per treatment, providing continuous reinforcement of the neuromuscular re-education process.

Functional Rehabilitation-

Our goal with examination is to identify both the anatomical sources of pain and the biomechanical deficits or impairments related to pain.

Palpation of soft tissue (skin, fascia, tendons and ligaments), muscle length, joint mobility, along with inspection of posture, gait, breath and movement patterns leads to the emergence of a picture of the patient’s major functional disturbance.  Our goal is to look for a connection between the dysfunctions and the condition to create an individualized rehab program.  Rehab may include but not limited to, traditional stretching, yoga stretching, strengthening, balance, postural re-education and core work.

Internal Medicine-

Tranquility provides a full range of blood studies that will allow comprehensive assessment of your health status.  Based on your personal medical history, these studies may begin with basic chemistry and lipid panels along with a CBC and Vitamin D evaluation and will also include more specialized tests that are suited to determining your wellness level.  Once the deficiencies are identified, it’s often possible to treat them with natural substances, lifestyle improvements and simple, non-pharmaceutical, non-side-effect inducing modalities. 

Our capabilities also include assessment of delayed food sensitivities which are often the culprit in ailments such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Sinusitis, Chronic Ear Infections, many auto-immune disorders, and so much more.  With this test your blood is tested against almost 200 different foods to determine which ones cause the immune system to go into overdrive.  From that point, we will work with you to eliminate these foods from your diet, and in a very short period of time, you should see amazing results. 

Life is not merely being alive, but being well.
