Chiropractic Care

At Awender Chiropractic Offices, 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 Redwood City office.

Chiropractic Care

We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" 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. Awender has years of training and experience in spinal adjustments.

Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

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 our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.

Nutritional Assessment

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? Dr. Awender can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

The laser is a universal way of treating nerve, muscle, tendon, ligaments, joints, connective tissues, bone, and skin with  one simple instrument.  The laser light is easy to apply by directing the probe with a slow scan over the involved area ata distance of 2 to 4 inches.  The beam is directed for a given length of time, usually from 30 seconds up to a couple of minutes.

When a cell is actively working to repair itself (and the neighboring cells), it needs a great deal of energy.  By stimulating the cells with this specific light source, their activity is — sped up — so they can perform better, faster, and more effectively.  The result is healing that is enhanced and takes less time to complete.  Also stimulated is the function of immune cells and the lymphatic and vascular systems.

It is used to enhance the healing response with soft tissue injuries and joint conditions that create pain, stiffness, and inflammation.
