Physical Health

Chiropractic Biophysics, or CBP is the technique that sets us apart from other chiropractors. Combining chiropractic and physical therapy, CBP is a safe and effective way to align, correct and stabilize the spine.

Through the use of CBP, misalignments in the spine are not only corrected (adjust), but muscles and tendons are trained (stretch) and strengthened (core strength) to hold the correction.
By bringing all the elements together - adjusting, stretching and core strength - we have a way to recondition and strengthen the spine. It’s a way of bringing in balance and a more permanent correction to your spine.

Pain is a warning sign. Like the piercing sound of a smoke alarm, the alarm (the symptom of a fire) is not the problem. The alarm is the result of a problem—fire.  Like every ache or pain in our body, they are the result of a problem. Most people choose to turn off the “alarm” so they go about their work and life. The pain is treated, but not the cause. It makes more sense to correct the cause instead of treating the symptom. If your smoke detector went off, wouldn’t want to put out the fire?

Foot Scans - Did you know that your feet could affect your knees? Your hips? Your back? Your neck?
Your feet are the foundation of your body, supporting your spine and pelvic structure. As we age, the arches of the feet may settle like a foundation, which can cause misalignment and pain anywhere from your ankles to your neck.

At Alternative Health Care Center of the Black Hills, we are always looking for ways to improve the health and comfort of our patients and their families. We have recently added some specialized scanning equipment to our office that will allow us to:

• Check your foundation. We will take a look at your feet and analyze where the arches may have fallen.
• If needed, recommend a pair of custom-made Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers from Foot Levelers that will help bring your spinal pelvic structure back into alignment, easing knee, hip and back pain, or possibly preventing future occurrences of pain. It might also help prevent the need for a joint replacement!
• Research proves that when the body is properly balanced, athletic performance is improved and certain injuries are less likely to occur. The feet could be the key to helping prevent injuries and improve athletes’ sports performance?

Contact Reflex Analysis - Contact Reflex Analysis, also known as CRA, is a simple, safe, natural method of analyzing the body's structural, physical, and nutritional needs. A deficiency in any of these areas could cause or contribute to various acute or chronic health problems.

CRA is not a method of diagnosis. It is a means by which a health care professional uses the body's reflexes to accurately determine the root cause of a health problem.

CRA is also a marvelous preventative technique, used to find a problem before it becomes a fulll-blown health issue. Find it early and correct it.
