Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care utilizes advanced techniques like Cox Technic to address spinal conditions and enhance nervous system functionality. We conduct comprehensive assessments combining diagnostic imaging, blood tests, and patient history to create personalized treatment plans that correct biomechanical imbalances. Our approach integrates rehabilitation protocols with lifestyle education to promote natural healing and prevent future injuries while maintaining optimal spinal alignment.
Clinical Nutrition
Our clinical nutrition program employs functional medicine principles to develop personalized dietary protocols addressing chronic conditions like diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Through detailed dietary analysis, body composition testing, and functional assessments, we create evidence-based nutrition plans that restore biochemical balance. Our team monitors patient progress while providing ongoing education about food choices, supplementation, and lifestyle modifications to achieve long-term health improvements.
Acupuncture
Our licensed acupuncturists use traditional and modern techniques to stimulate energy flow and promote natural healing responses. By targeting specific meridian points, we help reduce inflammation, alleviate chronic pain, and restore systemic balance. Treatments are customized to address individual conditions ranging from musculoskeletal pain to stress-related disorders while incorporating ongoing patient education about complementary wellness practices.
Massage Therapy
Our therapeutic massage services combine multiple clinical techniques to address musculoskeletal injuries and chronic pain conditions. Licensed therapists tailor treatments using Swedish, deep tissue, sports massage, and cupping modalities to improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and enhance recovery. Sessions are integrated with other rehabilitative therapies to optimize healing outcomes while providing immediate pain relief and stress reduction.
Nutrigenomics
Our nutrigenomic services analyze genetic markers to develop personalized nutrition plans that optimize gene expression. By understanding how individual genetic variations affect metabolic processes, we create targeted dietary interventions that prevent chronic diseases and enhance overall wellness. This science-based approach combines genetic testing with ongoing nutritional counseling to maximize health outcomes through precision lifestyle modifications.

Most professional, friendly, and most importantly - EFFECTIVE practice I have ever been to. The first time walking in to see Dr. Proodian for treatment, I could barely walk due to severe lower back pain. Less than three weeks later and I already feel so much better. Thank you Dr. Proodian and your excellent staff!

Dr. Coetzee is very professional, extremely knowledgeable and has a reputation of being a great diagnostic clinician. After the first visit, I already feel that we are in the best hands. My grandson (only 7 years old) has a complicated liver ailment and we feel that after a year of "wait and see" attitudes from his medical specialists, Dr. Coetzee is a breath of fresh air in his approach and determination to find the root cause. He comes very highly recommended by a close friend. Grateful we found him.
