Physiotherapy

Dr. Paul administers Therapeutic Ultrasound to a patient.

We are able to provide a wide number of physiotherapy techniques, which compliment your chiropractic care and speed the quality and success of your healing.

  • Therapeutic Ultrasound: This therapy is utilized by Dr. van Berkel in order to reduce inflammation and break up deep scar tissue or trigger points.

  • Electric Muscle Stimulation: This therapy is utilized by Dr. van Berkel to reduce muscle spasm, or rehabilitate injured or weakened muscle groups.

Clinical Nutrition

Clinical Nutrition seeks to restore or achieve better health through proper nutrition, accurate supplementation, and chemical balance.

We are able to treat a wide variety of difficult health concerns through proper functional testing and subsequent implementation of a nutritional protocol. Some of the conditions successfully treated through Clinical Nutrition are Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Hormonal imbalances, and gasto-intestinal disorders. Functional testing is outsourced through Genova Diagnostics (formerly Great Smokies Diagnostic Lab). Please see our Clinical Nutrition page for more information.

Exercise Rehabilitation

Because there is always a “soft tissue” component to spinal problems, we have the ability to individually evaluate and then start you off on a personalized rehabilitation program. Our goal is to assess exactly what exercises will benefit your condition and your health goals, and then implement a low-tech program that can be learned in our clinic and followed up on at home. Our rehab programs will stay problem focused as to remain simple enough to not get you overwhelmed. The programs will only utilize equipment that can be purchased at our clinic or any sporting goods store. They most involve Therapy Balls and Therapy Bands.

 Dr. Paul Asks some important questions of interest to Biltmore Phoenix residents - Chiropractor Biltmore Phoenix Dr. Paul Asks...

Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Biltmore Phoenix chiropractic practice.
How does headache medication find the headache?
It can't! Chiropractors know that when you ingest a drug and it enters your bloodstream it numbs or deadens your entire body. Chiropractic adjustments, on the other hand, are specific, targeted and delivered with precision.
