Our Strategy for Health

The Power That Made Our Body Heals Our Body

The appropriate cure removes interference to this power, whether its drugs, surgery or a powerful alternative treatment. At Kenwood Chiropractic Arts, we use a balance of science and art to remove the conditions that allowed this interference to flourish. By combining direct and intuitive knowledge of the body’s complex system, we’re able to gain insights to make a difference in your health.

Customized Healing Plan

When you visit Kenwood Chiropractic Arts, we work with you to create a customized healing plan designed specifically for you. Our chiropractic clinic considers the whole person, including their family, work, environment, activities, diet and exercise, emotional and stress actors and more. Every patient is unique, which is why one-size-fits-all treatment plans often fail. At Kenwood Chiropractic Arts, we draw from sophisticated range of tools. These tools include traditional chiropractic clinic procedures like spinal adjustments and joint manipulation as well as rehabilitation exercises, nutritional, brain based neurology techniques and acupuncture. By integrating the best tools from chiropractic, neurology and holistic medicine, the doctors at Kenwood Chiropractic Arts have achieved great success with a range of ailments by bringing the right healing modalities to the right person. The work we do supports your body’s innate intelligence to heal, to operate at 100%.

Advanced Brain-Based Neurological Testing is the Basis for Each Diagnosis

Advanced brain-based neurological testing is the basis for each diagnosis. Some of the most exciting advances in science and chiropractic are taking place in the area of neurological testing; a type of non-invasive diagnosis involving the eyes and the muscles. Neurological testing yields tremendous insights into the brain and the nervous system. Dr. Stussy and the Kenwood Chiropractic Arts team utilize the latest knowledge from this fast-growing field to learn from your body and determine the most effective treatment. We’re able to measure the efficiency of your nervous system and brain as it pertains to the connection of one side of your brain to the other. This is key because the brain directs the body towards optimal health via messages through the nervous system which is housed and protected by the spinal column (in fact, the spine can be seen as an extension of the brain into the environment). Any trauma, from long-forgotten tumbles to repetitive motion and everyday stress to motor vehicle accidents, can irritate nerves, damage muscles and discs, and shift the spine out of alignment. By measuring the specific stress (wear and tear) of your spine and the degree of exhaustion that you’ve accumulated, we’re able to determine how you will respond, frequency of care and to what type of treatment.

Healing is Learning

We believe that healing itself is an educational process. Therefore, our patients are educated in a now-time manner so that they understand why and how to do the appropriate self-management in order for accelerated healing to take place. Yes, it is possible to accelerate the recovery of any condition as long as we truly understand that it does take time to heal. Over the last three decades, Dr. Stussy has discovered that patients who heal to fastest and best are the ones that are most educated. With this knowledge the doctors at Kenwood Chiropractic Arts adhere to the following principles:

• Patients must understand the true purpose of their care and true meaning of their symptoms and/or functional loss
• Patients need insight into the true status of their bodies ability to heal
• Any additional home care or personal lifestyle changes have to have the following characteristics to be effective: simple, brief; and highly effective. At Kenwood Chiropractic Arts, we call this “Stuff that Works”

During healing patient often find they have a new vision as to their health and find themselves surprisingly interested in simple techniques, exercise activities and lifestyle changes that they previously had little no interest in. It can even begin to feel natural as if this is who they are.

There are many alternative chiropractic clinics who profess to have unique skills / techniques. As with most things, there are but a few of these that fit our criteria for enhanced lifestyles. We make a point of showing the ones which are most appropriate to add to and make a unique difference for that individual.
