Our Approach

Removing limits to achieve higher levels of health and performance

Your body heals itself

At Whole Health Chiropractic, we believe that the power to heal comes from within. Our approach is to find and eliminate any obstacles to maximize your body's healing efforts. When your spine is in optimal condition, your body can better adapt to it's environment. This ability to adapt leads to improved function when engaging in the daily activities in your life. This can be accomplished by removing the source of your problems in your spinal joints and in the surrounding muscles.

Our techniques

Dr. Thissell is skilled in diversified technique (firm adjustments), joint mobilization (gentler adjustments without popping), ischemic compression (targeted deep tissue therapy), muscle energy techniques (to balance muscles), applied kinesiology (for extremities and GI issues), traction (to decompress and to boost disc circulation), as well as posture and exercise advice (core muscle neuromotor control training).

Hands-on healing

All of these techniques are applied one-on-one by the doctor, who will be with you for the entire duration of your visit. It's not our style to leave patients waiting alone in a room with a hot pack or e-stim machine for extended periods of time. At Whole Health Chiropractic, you are treated with the utmost care and attention in a nurturing and caring environment. Your well-being and comfort are our highest priorities.
