At Malek Chiropractic and Wellness, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic care to each and every patient. We have included information below about the different
chiropractic services offered in our Cupertino chiropractic office, but please call us at 408-973-1717 if you have any questions!
ABOUT ACTIVATOR METHODS
This technique utilizes specific procedures to detect spinal joint dysfunction, analyze leg length inequality, detect body mechanics problems, and test neurological reflexes. With these
unique analytical tools, I can begin the process of restoring your overall spinal balance.
How does the Activator Adjusting Instrument work?
To address spinal joint dysfunction, we use an instrument called the Activator. This unique hand-held instrument was scientifically designed to give you a very specific, "low-force"
adjustment. The Activator instrument delivers a controlled, light, and fast thrust, without causing undue strain to patients. Activator adjustments are so quick and controlled,
your body's muscles are less likely to resist, allowing for a more precise and exact adjustment. One of the unique features of the Activator Techniqu is that I can zero in on the exact
area of the body that is causing your health problems.
Chiropractic Care
We provide advanced spinal correction and chiropractic adjustments utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic care have chiropractors been able to provide the level of help and expertise that is available today. Many of the newest chiropractic techniques are actually safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a chiropractor who cares about utilizing the most advanced chiropractic techniques, Dr. Eva Malek has years of training, expertise and experience in helping patients get pain relief for back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other related conditions originating from the spine. Chiropractic care under a trained professional can even be used to prevent injuries and help you achieve total health or wellness.
Corrective Exercises
At Malek Chiropractic and Wellness, we teach our patients how to perform special "blueprint" exercises which can help strengthen and correct the irregularities in their body which may be causing pain. Many of these corrective exercises can actually be performed in the comfort of your own home to help improve the effectiveness of your chiropractic care and spinal correction plan. In addition to skeletal misalignment, you may be experiencing pain that is caused by muscles and connective tissues which are out of their proper place. Other types of pain such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches are caused by muscles and tissues that are being used improperly, causing injuries over time. In each case, targeted corrective exercises and stretches from our experienced chiropractor will help you feel good while also helping your body achieve balance and health.
Lifestyle Advice
Many of our patients come to see our chiropractor to address a specific pain symptom such as back pain, neck pain or headaches. While our chiropractor will address each patient's specific condition with chiropractic care, we often find it helpful to "coach" our patients towards achieving a healthier lifestyle. For example, there may be certain activities that you should avoid or do differently to prevent yourself from unintentionally aggravating your particular health challenges. The goal of including lifestyle advice with a chiropractic care plan is to help each and every patient achieve the fulfilling and happy lifestyle they deserve, one that is full of the activities that are enjoyed most. We recognize that every single one of our patients is a whole person, and we use our expertise to help them reach total health and wellness.
Nutritional Counseling with Enzyme Nutrition
Nutrition is the use of diet, whole foods and nutritional supplements to promote healing and maintain health. A nutritionist uses natural and noninvasive therapies, rather than relying on
drugs and surgery. Nutrition seeks to balance the biochemistry of the body by restoring the balance of vitamins, minerals and enzymes.
Enzyme nutrition is the art and science of using nutrition to maintain homeostasis and health in the body. It works with the body's innate intelligence to bring the body to
optimal health using whole foods that contain protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes , rather than trying to manipulate it by using chemical compounds that produce side
effects.
Food enzymes are a natural and important component in our food supply, yet they are systematically removed to extend shelf-life. While shelf-life is necessary in our modern society,
enzymes must be replaced, just as vitamins and minerals are. Enzymes are the construction workers of the body. Protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals are
simply the building materials.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy does more than make you feel good, it can actually help your body achieve balance and health. Massage therapy offers a natural treatment approach which actually relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. Our chiropractic office provides specific massage and muscular therapy that is complimentary to their chiropractic care. Each massage therapy plan is tailored to meet the patient's unique pain condition or injury. The benefits of massage therapy may include the increase of blood circulation, a localized reduction in swelling and the relaxation of muscles. Massage has been known to relieve muscle pain and spasms, increase a patient's range of motion, while also aiding in a patient's recovery. Some investigative studies have even indicated that a single session of massage may help boost your immune system!
Spinal & Postural Screenings
There is a saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Your spinal health is no exception. Posture and spinal screenings by a trained and experienced chiropractor such as Dr. Eva Malek can help reveal important health information, unlocking the door to improved health and well-being. In order to help the Cupertino community, we provide screenings at area malls, community events, health fairs and places of employment. Contact us today at 408-973-1717 to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.
