Chiropractors are the only professionals trained to detect and correct spinal subluxations caused by traumas such as the birth process, sports injuries, car accidents, poor posture, and even emotional stress.
Chiropractors perform gentle and highly-specialized techniques called adjustments which align the vertebrae. This takes the pressure off the spinal cord and nerves, allowing the body to heal itself and work at 100% of its capacity. The only way to know if you have subluxations is to have your spine checked by a chiropractor.

Registered Holistic Nutrition:
Registered Holistic Nutritionists (RHN) are professionals trained in holistic nutrition and complimentary therapies. RHN's can educate you about the benefits of a sound nutritional program and healthy lifestyle to encourage your body to achieve optimum health and performance.
RHN's can assess individual nutritional imbalances and weaknesses to enhance your immune system and recommend specific diets and supplements to help build and maintain well-being. Environmental pollution, metal toxicity, microorganism imbalances, allergies, weight loss and sports performance are among the other factors that RHN's consider constructing a personalized nutritional and supplement program.
A visit with your RHN will be an educational experience where you will learn to make lifestyle changes that have a long lasting effect on your quality of life.

Custom Orthotics:
At Arc of Life we use Sole Supports orthotics. Sole Supports are the only custom orthotics available today based on a completely new way of thinking that was developed to actually change foot posture and function during weight-bearing activities.
The corrected position of the foot is captured by a unique casting technique that utilizes a certain density of foam and a specific casting method that copy healthy foot stance.
The lab positives made from this cast are never "cast-corrected" to lower arch height as is commonly done with other orthotics. The resulting shell fits the shape of the foot like a glove and is machine calibrated to have the right properties of flex and rigidity based on the patient's weight, foot flexibility and activity level. The goal is to significantly limit poor foot postures and yet flex enough for great comfort. This custom level of rigidity/flex makes us unique in the industry and uniquely effective at improving foot function.
