Massage Therapy
Dr. Brenneman and Dr. Bedillion believe that combining your chiropractic care with massage therapy provides enhanced benefits for your health.
The Benefits of Massage
Massage therapists use a variety of techniques to address soft tissue problems. Gentle kneading and stretching lengthens contracted and irritated muscles and fascia. Painful sprains and strains, as well as myofascial adhesions, can be addressed directly with massage techniques that improve circulation and stimulate healthy separation and realignment of injured fibers. In general, massage increases circulation. This reduces painful swelling and inflammation, and promotes healing by removing waste products and bringing nutrients to your tissues. Like a sponge absorbing water, both fascia and muscles begin to soften and lengthen.
Massage supports Chiropractic
You can benefit in a number of ways by adding massage therapy to your chiropractic care program. Recovery is normally faster and more complete when you address multiple components of your pain. Chiropractic treatment often proceeds more easily, with less discomfort, when soft tissue has been relaxed with massage. After a relaxing massage adjustments frequently have a better effect because muscle tension is released. |

Ionic Detoxification Foot Bath
What is an Ionic Foot Bath?
Many people use an ionic foot bath to assist in detoxifying the body. These baths work by drawing toxins out of your body through your feet to help the body to return to a more balanced state. The bath itself is a small basin which is filled with a warm saltwater mixture. You place your feet in the bath and then turn on electrodes. As your feet bathe, the ions in the water enter your skin and help any toxins leave through your pores. This detoxification process can happen in as little as 20 minutes, but a period of 30 minutes is recommended for adults. |

How Does the Foot Bath Work?
The machine itself doesn't actually cause the detoxification process. The electrodes produce a small current which works with the water and the salt (which improves the conductivity in the water) to produce positive and negative ions. These ions enter the body through the feet and interact with the body. As the ions enter the body, they affect the chemical makeup of your cells, causing them to become more alkaline. The body is naturally more alkaline than acidic so this helps the body return to its natural state. When the cells are in this condition, they naturally begin to detoxify.
Benefits of the Foot Bath
There are several benefits associated with using an ionic foot bath. Users of this treatment have expressed that they have a general sense of well being after the treatment is over. The ionic foot bath helps to remove heavy metals which may be in the body, and may create this sense. This treatment also helps with any weight loss that a patient is trying to achieve due to the removal of toxins. The bath also helps to add oxygen to the body which allows for a stronger cardiovascular system.
Since toxins are removed from the body, this bath can help with the effects of seasonal allergies and destruction of yeast and various bacteria. As your body is cleaner, your recovery time from injury and surgery is faster. The bath also helps to increase your immune system and facilitates easier removal of waste products from the body. You may experience some fatigue after using the machine, but this is normal and should abate after a short period of time. |
