Nutrition
Our goal is to help patients with complete health and wellness; nutrition is a big part of how healthy you are. We are happy to help patients with any nutrition questions they might have.
We are excited to welcome Terrie Bilinski our Nutritional Therapy Practioner. We would highly encourage you to schedule an appointment with her today.
We also offer different nutritional supplements if interested:
- Juice Plus+ is an all-natural, whole food based dietary product made by juicing a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, then concentrating the juices into powders. It comes in both capsules and chewable form. Juice Plus should not replace your meals, but it does help bridge the gap between what you should eat and what you do eat.

Chiropractic involves treating the person as a whole by assisting the body to heal naturally. It has long been known that healthy, nutritious diets coupled with rest, exercise, and spinal adjustments are an integral part of preventative health care.
The body needs to absorb essential nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, minerals, proteins, and various vitamins to function to its optimum capacity. These ensure healthy digestion, metabolizing and excreting which, in turn, leads to homeostasis. This refers to the body’s ability to regulate its internal environment to ensure stability as it responds to changes in the external environment. Poor diets that include foods rich in sugars and fats can contribute to other health issues such as diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers.
While chiropractors prescribe natural, drug-free treatments, their focus remains on the body’s ability to heal itself. With factors such as diet, exercise, rest and hereditary issues affecting optimum body functioning, chiropractors will consider a patient’s medical history, past injuries, present symptoms, and postural analysis. Further physical, neurological, and orthopedic examinations may be included and, dependent on the findings, patients may be referred to other health practitioners for additional consultation.
Nutritional therapy has evolved as a need for such specialist treatment grows from the persistent nutritional deficiencies that are commonplace in the world today. Stressful environments and a lack of essential nutrients in the daily diet demand additional support to aid the body in preventative health care.
