At Holkup Chiropractic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our Beach, ND and Baker, MT offices.
Chiropractic Care
We provide spinal correction utilizing gentle chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Jacob Holkup has years of training and experience in spinal adjustment.
Accupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient health science which is used to successfully treat both pain and dysfunction in the body. Acupuncture appears strange to most Westerners as its primary application is the utilization of very slender painless needles placed in the skin at various locations to relieve pain or affect a body part or function. Early Asian physicians discovered there is an energy network traversing just below the surface of the skin which communicates from the exterior to the internal organs at over 1,000 "acupoints" on the body.
Nutritional Counseling
We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another? Dr. Holkup can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.
Lifestyle Advice
We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each patient is a whole person, and helping them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort .between our professionals and our patients.
Manual Therapy
FAKTR/Graston Method
This procedure allows us to detect and treat areas of "scar tissue" or adhesions in muscles, tendons and ligaments that can lead to pain and dysfunction. This technique allows us to better detect and treat these areas because it uses a stainless steel instrument that glides along a patient's affected areas and acts like a "scar tissue" stethoscope. The instrument can be used to "break up" this restriction or adhesion in a short amount of time. Stretching exercises are then used to promote realignment of fibers so that they behave more like normal, healthy tissue. As always, this treatment like others is not appropriate for every patient condition. If you have not experienced this technique and would like to learn more or see if this treatment could benefit you, please ask at your next visit
