Winters Wellness Center

Physical, chemical and emotional stress often places unnecessary stress on an individuals nervous system. This may result in poor communication between the brain and the body. Dr. Winters gentle approach to alignment, which requires no twisting, no turning, no cracking and no popping, can actually restore healthy communication between an individuals body and brain. When this communication is restored, our bodies feel better and health is improved.While there are no bad chiropractic techniques, there are techniques that may be better suited for an individuals health and wellness goals. All chiropractic techniques are designed to normalize the nervous system so that the brain can more effectively communicate with the various parts of a persons body, allowing it to heal.Some doctors accomplish this goal by administering high velocity adjustments by hand, in which the joint surfaces of the spine separate slightly; creating a temporary vacuum within the joint fluid that causes a pop to occur.Dr. Winters prefers to use an instrument that does not produce the popping sound, however it does have a similar neurological effect. The resulting effect for the patient is the same.Why does Dr. Winters prefer this advanced method over the more traditional chiropractic approach? He has found it is easier on the patients physically. He has also found that it delivers better long-term health outcomes as the spinal tensions are better released vs. just being transferred from one area of the spine to another.Patients who are accustomed to the manual approach will have to give it several adjustments to get used to the instrument adjusting approach. They will not get the initial endorphin release they were used to with manual methods so it may not feel like as much was done right at the moment. In time and with patience, these same individuals often grow to prefer the instrument adjustment because they feel more long-term change going on.Koren Specific TechniqueAt Winters Wellness we apply a unique, breakthrough approach to patient care called the Koren Specic Technique (KST).
