We take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our Latrobe office.

Chiropractic Care at West-Land Clinic of Chiropractic in Latrobe:
The Chiropractic profession is grounded on the principal that health is an inherent internal trait, and the controller of this inherent trait is the nervous system. Spinal misalignments (subluxations) produce stress on the nervous system, producing less than optimal function. By removing this stress with appropriate Chiropractic care, normal function of the nervous system can be achieved allowing the body to respond and correct the problems produced by the subluxation complex.

Subluxation Complex at West-Land Clinic of Chiropractic in Latrobe:
Dysfunction and/ or misalignment of spinal vertebrae that produces abnormal stress on the nervous system and surrounding soft tissue resulting in abnormal motion, muscle dysfunction, inflammation, nervous system interference and spinal pathology. There's three main causes of a subluxation: (physical trauma, physiological stress, and chemical imbalances (toxins).

Nutritional Therapy at West-Land Clinic of Chiropractic in Latrobe:
Proper nutrition provides the basic building materials to form and maintain a healthy body. Deficiencies of a single key nutrient can produce devastating health problems. The Doctors at West-Land Clinic have extensive knowledge to help patients determine if their diet or lack of proper diet may be contributing to their health problems.
Exercise Therapy at West-Land Clinic of Chiropractic in Latrobe:
Many acute injuries turn into chronic pain. When a person is injured, the body will change to work around the restrictions produced by the original problems. For many, these changes become a semi-permanent state, resulting in chronic recurrent pain. However in many cases, a properly designed exercise program can reverse these changes and stabilize the cause of chronic pain. In addition to injuries, loss of strength as we age can result in the development of recurrent pain. This too can respond to an appropriate exercise program.

Massage Therapy at West-Land Clinic of Chiropractic in Latrobe:
Relaxes both body and mind. There is nothing more soothing than a relaxing massage. The touch of massage therapy reduces heart rate, lowers blood pressure, increases blood and lymph flow, relaxes muscles, provides injury rehabilitation, and enhances skin health. The mental benefits of massage therapy include relief of mental stress, reduction of anxiety levels, and promotion of mental alertness. The human body responds very positively to the therapy touch.

Physical Modalities for Life at West-Land Clinic of Chiropractic in Latrobe:
Treatment of pain and injuries often requires a multi directed approach. When required, we utilize ultrasound, TENS, massage, stretching, and other modalities to improve the rate of pain relief and recovery.

Contact Reflex Analysis(CRA):
CRA is a simple, safe, natural method of analyzing the body's structural, physical, and nutritional needs. This is accomplished through the evaluation of approximately seventy-five reflex points that correspond to various physical, chemical, and bio-electrical functions of the body. In the hands of a skilled practitioner, CRA can be utilized to help correct underlying imbalances that contribute to an individual's health problems.

Spinal Decompression Therapy

The goal of decompression therapy is to alleviate the pain and dysfunction that is the result of compression injuries to spinal nerves and related soft tissues. The most common cause of compression type syndromes are disc defects (bulges and herniations).  Decompression therapy is achieved by applying mechanical traction to the affected spinal area using specialized tables and equipment. While having the proper equipment is important, of equal importance is correct patient selection and classification, so the therapy can be applied in the correct manner.  Even the best equipment and intentions, if applied inappropriately, will not result in the desired outcome.  Both Drs. Landry and Westerbeck are certified in Kennedy Decompression Technique, a nationally recognized system designed to make traction/decompression effective, safe and affordable to all who can benefit from this therapy.  The KDT system provides the knowledge to insure proper patient selection and clasification so the most appropriate treatment can be applied to insure a consistent and beneficial outcome.
