Chiropractic
Chiropractic is from Greek words meaning done by hand. A Doctor of Chiropractic is concerned with how the body’s nerves, muscles and joints function as a whole. Chiropractic Services focus on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the body. They are specialists in using manipulations of joints to improve range of motion, flexibilty, and to restore proper function. Chiropractic is one of the most popular alternative therapies currently available. Some would say it now qualifies as mainstream treatment as opposed to complementary medicine. Chiropractic treatment is covered by many insurance plans. It has become well-accepted treatment for acute pain and problems of the spine, including low back pain and whiplash.

Active Release Techniques – Chiropractic Services
ART is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles. Source: www.activerelease.com
Whole Body Vibration Exercise program and training – Chiropractic Services
The Whole Body Vibration Exercise programs are based on 30 years of research. Whole Body Vibration (WBV) was initially used in Europe in late 1800’s for exercise and therapeutic purposes. WBV has been used to treat bone and lean muscle mass loss in astronomers who spend considerable time in space. The VMAX ELITE 7 – Whole Body Vibration Machine is a triplanar oscillating platform whole body vibration machine with a frequency on 5 to 50 Hz. The WBV induces vibration that transmits through muscles bone and soft tissues. Each muscle in order to do its job of holding specific postures has to overcome the vibration first and then hold the position. Research shows to do this 95% of the muscle fibers have to fire. In addition, since the vibration transmits through the whole body there is no escape for all other muscles, bones and soft tissues of the body from the effect of vibration. Therefore, as a natural response they are all activated. This activation counts for overall increased metabolism and increase overall strength, power, endurance, decrease body fat, increase bone density, Growth Hormones (fountain of youth, elixir of life), testosterone (increase energy and reproduction), Serotonin and Dopamine (Happy Hormones), blood circulation (increase healing and metabolism), lymphatic drainage (removal of toxins and rejuvenating tissues) and neuromuscular enhancement (increase strength and power).
This overall activation of all tissues counts for the fact that 10 minutes of exercises on VMAX ELITE 7 – Whole Body Vibration Machine is equal to 30-40 minutes of weight training. This makes WBV Exercise programs ideal for busy people who desire to keep active but do not have enough time.
WBV has been also used in athletic population extensively starting in Russia, Europe and now here in North America. Research indicates the same results have observed in Athletes as well as lay person. Competitive Athletes will gain the edge that they need to win in strength, power, endurance and overall performance participating in our WBV programs developed by Dr. Kazemi.
Falls are one of the most common causes of injury and death in elderly. Falls in elderly are usually as a result of decrease strength, balance and bone density. WBV program with its soft nature exercise, enhancing balance, hormones and bone density, is the perfect exercise for elderly who desire to increase their strength, balance, bone density and overall wellness. WBV is the only exercise shown recently to increase bone density in post-menopausal women 60-70 years old.
Specific WBV programs are designed by Dr. Kazemi to help you achieve your goals, from increasing your bone density, losing weight, strengthening your core to specifically focusing and strengthening your upper or lower limbs.
Dr. Kazemi the author of the Vibration Plate Exercise book provides personalized exercise programs at his clinic and walk you step by step and train you.
