At Emard Chiropractic Center, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic and nutrition care to each and every patient. We have included information below about the different chiropractic services offered in our office, but please call us at (661) 949-1741 if you have any questions!
Chiropractic Care
We provide advanced spinal correction and chiropractic adjustments utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Dr. Crystal uses a variety of techniques personal to your comfort level and physical capacity. Torque Release Technique (TRT) is a hand-held instrument type of adjusting that is very low-force and highly specific. Great for adjusting the elderly, children, extremities, and anyone fearful of getting "cracked". Diversified Technique is also utilized for manual manipulation and joint mobilization. Never in the history of chiropractic care have chiropractors been able to provide the level of help and expertise that is available today. Many of the newest chiropractic techniques are actually safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before.
Corrective Exercises
At Emard Chiropractic Center, we teach our patients how to perform special "blueprint" exercises which can help strengthen and correct the irregularities in their body which may be causing pain. Many of these corrective exercises can actually be performed in the comfort of your own home to help improve the effectiveness of your chiropractic care and spinal correction plan. In addition to skeletal misalignment, you may be experiencing pain that is caused by muscles and connective tissues which are out of their proper place. Other types of pain such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches are caused by muscles and tissues that are being used improperly, causing injuries over time. In each case, targeted corrective exercises and stretches from our experienced chiropractor will help you feel good while also helping your body achieve balance and health.
Lifestyle Advice
Many of our patients come to see Dr. Crystal to address a specific pain symptom such as back pain, neck pain or headaches. While Dr. Crystal will address each patient's specific condition with chiropractic care, we often find it helpful to "coach" our patients towards achieving a healthier lifestyle. For example, there may be certain activities that you should avoid or do differently to prevent yourself from unintentionally aggravating your particular health challenges. The goal of including lifestyle advice with a chiropractic care plan is to help each and every patient achieve the fulfilling and happy lifestyle they deserve, one that is full of the activities that are enjoyed most. We recognize that every single one of our patients is a whole person, and we use our expertise to help them reach total health and wellness.
Nutritional Counseling
What does nutrition have to do with chiropractic care? Chemical stress -or what we put or don't put into our bodies- is one of the leading causes of nerve interference that leads to dis-ease. The goal of chiropractic care is to help patients achieve total health and balance with their body, and as part of that goal we provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices. Nutritional counseling by our experienced chiropractic health professionals can assist a patient on their return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another? At our Palmdale chiropractic clinic, we can provide each patient with a structured nutritional program that is based on their individual needs.
Dr. Crystal is clinically trained in Nutrition Response Testing which provides patients with individual specific nutritional protocols. By filling in the nutritional gaps that keeps the body from being self-healing, we have seen many patients with anxiety, depression, digestive disturbances, weight gain, hormone imbalance and thyroid dysfunction drastically improve their state of health.
