Dykstra Chiropractic spells "State of the Art" in technology. From touch-screen login computer stations to On Surface EMG, Dykstra Chiropractic has the latest in chiropractic technology. SEMG is a device which measures the amount of electrical activity in the muscles (the muscles of the back & neck that support the spine). These muscles brace or tense-up in response to spinal misalignments (Vertebral Subluxations) and therefore send increased electrical signals. If there is any interference with communication between the brain to the rest of the body through the spine, the SEMG will pick this up. When we combine the computer-aided technology with the traditional x-rays and exam, we are able to pinpoint where in the spine the nerve roots are being irritated, and what areas of muscle are functioning incorrectly as a result of the nerve interference. A vertebral subluxation leads to improper electrical impulses which can lead to poor health.

The instrument can print out a colorized bra graph of the patients back along with a narrative report explaining the findings of the report. Each patient will receive SEMG and will also be monitored from visit to visit so the effectiveness of the adjustment can be monitored.

We offer a variety of services including corrective chiropractic care, wellness chiropractic care, pediatric chiropractic care, pre-natal chiropractic care, lifestyle evaluations, and seminars and advanced workshops on a variety of health topics.

Corrective Chiropractic Care

Not all chiropractic care is the same. While most chiropractors focus merely on the elimination of pain and symptoms, we pride ourselves on finding the cause of your ailment, correcting it, restoring you back to optimum health.

Wellness Chiropractic Care

Once your health and wellness have been restored to your God-given potential, Wellness Chiropractic Care is all about maintaining the integrity of your nervous system and teaching you how to maintain total wellness throughout your entire life.

Pediatric Chiropractic Care

Not all chiropractors see infants and children. While most chiropractors focus merely on the adult population, we pride ourselves in complete family care. Chiropractic check-ups and adjustments should begin at birth and continue throughout life to ensure maximum health, vitality, and total wellness.

Pre-Natal Chiropractic Care

Not all chiropractors adjust pregnant women. It is well known now in both the medical and chiropractic communities that chiropractic care is extremely effective for not only the pregnant mother, but also the baby she is carrying in the womb. Chiropractic care when started in "the womb" and continued throughout "from womb to tomb" will ensure that all people involved are as healthy as possible.

Lifestyle Evaluations

It is now well known in nearly every area of health care that the only person responsible for your health is YOU! Because of this fact, we employ lifestyle evaluations and make recommendations for changes in the necessary areas of your life. These include balancing your stress and peace, nutrition, supplements, water intake, and exercise to name a few.

Seminars and Advanced Workshops

With our practice's cornerstone being patient education, our seminars and advanced workshops bring the latest information to you about health and wellness on a variety of topics. This on-going education insures that you can make the best possible decisions for you and your family's health and well-being. These seminars are many times held right on sight after patient hours in our office and at other times throughout the community at churches and other clubs and organizations. Check our calendar of events for the upcoming curriculum or call 616-530-6050 for more information.
