The Synergy of Chiropractic & Acupuncture

 

How we interact with the world is a direct reflection of the integrity of our nervous and musculoskeletal systems.

I like to use the example of a vehicle. Your brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and all other components of your nervous system are the computer to your vehicle. The majority of the nervous system is housed within the musculoskeletal system, the frame to your vehicle. By treating the frame and treating the computer we impart a significant change to how the vehicle operates.

At Gould Standard I combine chiropractic and acupuncture to optimize the impact of a treatment on the nervous and musculoskeletal systems. Evidence-based chiropractic utilizing spinal manipulative therapy treats the body and evidence-based acupuncture utilizing Chinese medicine treats the brain.
