At Pomperaug Chiropractic & Holistic Center PC, we
take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to
our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic
services we offer in our Southbury office.
Chiropractic Care
We
provide spinal manipulation utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic
techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to
provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These
newer methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than
ever before. As Doctors of Chiropractic, doctors. Prado and Baker have
years of training and experience in spinal adjustment.
Corrective Exercises
Exercises
are often given to accompany chiropractic treatments. Specific
exercises may be prescribed to aid in strengthening the muscles around
the area of injury. The Doctor may or may not introduce exercises
immediately.
Recent
studies have shown that the best form of exercise to aid in the
reduction of pain originating from the musculoskeletal system is
regular aerobic exercise. Such a program should include exercises such
as brisk walking, jogging & swimming, cycling or cross-country
skiing., An aerobic exercise program should cause an elevation of your
heart rate to approximately 80% of the recommended maximum for your
age. This should be sustained for 30-40 minutes four times a week. If
your lifestyle has lacked sufficient exercise, or if you have any
history of cardiovascular disease, be sure to have a cardiovascular
examination by a qualified physician before initiating such an exercise
program.
Therapeutic Lifestyle Change Program - TLC
We have developed a comprehensive Lifestyle-change program we call the Therapeutic Lifestyle Change or TLC program.
This program uses laboratory testing, Bio-electric Impedance Analysis
(BIA) and other data to tailor a customized diet, exercise and stress
management program to our patient's needs. Our goal is to help every
patient achieve a lifestyle that prevents chronic disease and optimizes health.
Nutritional Counseling
As part of our TLC program
we provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and
healthy food choices to enhance our patientīs return to optimal
health. Drs. Prado and Baker can provide a structured nutritional
program based on your individual needs.
Mind-Body Medicine
As
represented by our logo, the celtic triquetra, the body, mind and
spirit are interconnected components of whole health. One's optimum
health potential can only be reached when a "balance" exists between
these three components. Pain and disease are often "symptoms" which
results from imbalance in our lives.
Current
research has proven the undeniable link between the human thought
process, and the function of the body. More and more we hear of
scientifically documented cases of "spontaneous remission" of disease
sparked not by some high tech medical intervention but by a
paradigmatic shift in one's own thought process. This verified link
between mind and body has never been more apparent then with patients
suffering from chronic pain syndromes.
We at Pomperaug
Chiropractic have had a keen interest in the mind-body approach. We
help patients to see how their levels of stress, anxiety, anger and
fear often perpetuate a pain syndrome long after physical injury has
healed.
Physiotherapy

complement and enhance the healing effects of Drs. Prado and Baker, we
at Pomperaug Chiropractic & Holistic Center PC provide the following physiological
therapeutic procedures in addition to manipulation or adjustments of
spinal and extremities:
- Ultrasound
- Interferential electrical muscle stimulation
