SERVICES AND TECHNIQUES

At Amundson Chiropractic Health Services, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our Blue Springs office.

Chiropractic Care

We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" technology and chiropractic techniques for children, adults, and the elderly.   Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Jennifer Amundson has years of training and experience in spinal adjustment. Dr. Amundson graduated from  Palmer College of Chiropractic and is trained in 15 different techniques to help your spine and nervous system work better.  She offers both hands on adjusting and instrumentation.  Afraid to have your spine adjusted?  No problem!  Dr. Amundson is able to work with your spine so you will not hear nor feel the movement.  She offers safe, gentle alternatives to traditional hands on spinal treatments.  Some of the techniques are Gonstead, Thompson, Diversified, Activator, Pulstar, Myofascial Release, Cranial Therapy, Logan Basic, and Webster Technique for pregnant women.

Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health. 

Lifestyle Advice

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each patient is a whole person, and to help them reach true health and wellness requires a collaborate effort between our professionals and our them.  

Nutritional Counseling

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you?  Dr. Jennifer Amundson can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.  Amundson Chiropractic offers hormone saliva testing, hair analysis, blood test analysis, and other forms of functional medicine testing. We help some of the most difficult cases with nutrition.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves the insertion of extremely thin needles in your skin at strategic points on your body. Acupuncture originated in China thousands of years ago, but over the past three decades its popularity has grown significantly within the United States.

Traditional Chinese theory explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as qi or chi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance.
