Our Chiropractors and Medical Staff have been providing quality services to over thousands of patients. We attend the latest training seminars available in order to provide the most modern techniques and use the most modern equipment available today. As a team of Nurse Practitioners, chiropractors, and highly trained technicians, we understand that although our patients may be diagnosed with the same condition, they respond very differently to treatments. Due to the uniqueness of everyone, we tailor a specific plan of treatment to meet your needs, goals, medical and physical condition.

Medical At Advantage Health and Wellness Center we offer a number of different medical services for our patients. Our integrated team is here to help you achieve the best long term outcome with non-invasive procedures. Diagnostic Ultrasound Diagnostic ultrasound, also known as Medical sonography (ultrasonography) is an ultrasound-based diagnostic medical imaging technique used to visualize muscles, tendons, and many internal organs, to capture their size, structure and any pathological lesions with real time tomographic images. Ultrasound has been used by radiologists and sonographers to image the human body for at least 50 years and has become one of the most widely used diagnostic tools in modern medicine. As currently applied in the medical field, properly performed ultrasound poses no known risks to the patient. Sonography is generally described as a "safe test" because it does not use mutagenic ionizing radiation, which can pose hazards such as chromosome breakage and cancer development. However, ultrasonic energy has two potential physiological effects it enhances inflammatory response and it can heat soft tissue. Ultrasound energy produces a mechanical pressure wave through soft tissue. This pressure wave may cause microscopic bubbles in living tissues and distortion of the cell membrane, influencing ion fluxes and intracellular activity. When ultrasound enters the body, it causes molecular friction and heats the tissues slightly. This effect is typically very minor as normal tissue perfusion dissipates most of the heat. Joint Injections A joint injection (intra-articular injection) is a procedure used in the treatment of inflammatory joint conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gout, tendinitis, bursitis and occasionally osteoarthritis. A hypodermic needle is injected into the affected joint where it delivers a dose of any one of many anti-inflammatory agents, the most common of which are corticosteroids. Medically Directed Rehab Now there is a new and better way to make life more liveable through therapeutic services. Advantage Health and Wellness has a complex Therapy Department designed to enhance patient treatment.The Medically Directed Rehab Program is comprised of traditional health education, therapy services, and medically-directed exercise programs personally catered to your needs and abilities. Nerve Conduction Study A nerve conduction study (NCS) is a test commonly used to evaluate the function by being able to look at the ability of electrical conduction of the motor and sensory nerves of the human body. This is a test to help determine the best course of care for most of our patients. Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) is a common measurement made during this test. The term NCV often is used to mean the actual test, but this may be misleading since velocity is only one measurement in the test suite. Nerve conduction studies are primarily used for evaluation of paresthesias (which is numbness, tingling and/or burning) and/or weakness of the arms and legs. The type of study needed depends in part by the symptoms of the patient. A physical exam and thorough medical history is taken to customize treatment plans. Some of the common disorders which can be diagnosed by nerve conduction studies are â– Peripheral neuropathy â– Carpal tunnel syndrome â– Guillain-Barre syndrome â– Spinal disc herniation â– Ulnar neuropathy â– Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy,Medical At Advantage Health and Wellness Center we offer a number of different medical services for our patients.
