The Journey to Self Renewal
CHIROPRACTIC
Aligning With Yourself
Chiropractic is a holistic, non-invasive approach to balancing the human body that utilizes the spine as the primary means to stimulate healing.
​
Trauma, such as an auto accident as well as repetitive strains (i.e. long hours at the computer) can cause disruption in normal spinal biomechanics. In many cases the body can self-correct, however, misaligned joints can become fixed or stuck, causing pain, swelling and eventually interference to the normal conduction of nerve impulses from the brain through the spine to the joints, connective tissues and organs of the body.
​
Some of the signals indicating a need for chiropractic care may include:
Low back pain (chronic or acute)
Neck pain and upper back pain
Headaches
Fatigue
Tingling, pain or weakness of arms/legs
Recurring injuries
Tendonitis (ie. rotator cuff, plantar fasciitis)
Carpel tunnel syndrome
​
As a primary care provider, Dr. Durakis can review your history, evaluate your current condition and determine whether chiropractic care, or medical referral would be most appropriate.

FUNCTIONAL FITNESS
Movement Is Self Care
Core Training
Patients are instructed as to effective rehabilitation exercises based on their specific diagnosis and daily activities.
30 minute appointments are available to review technique and safe execution of exercises that will strengthen the core, stabilize the hips and pelvis and improve posture.
​
Postural Analysis and Orthotics
Poor posture, or what is known as “tech-neck” has become epidemic and has far reaching health implications. Dr. Durakis offers postural evaluations and care plans designed to address postural imbalance.
If foot pronation is causing postural distortion, Dr. Durakis may incorporate stabilizing orthotics designed to treat the body as a functional unit starting with the feet. If you suffer from low back pain, plantar fasciitis, knee pain, hip pain or even neck pain custom made orthotics can help.
Our digital scanner takes a 3D picture of your feet and provides an analysis of foot biomechanics, weight distribution and postural imbalance.
