Bee Caves Chiropractic & Scoliosis Center

Hey all, Dr Zeke here again, hope you all are well!

I just had to post something about a new therapy addition to my Austin chiropractic practice called the ATM2 which stands for Active Therapeutic Movements.  Sounds interesting, I’m sure, but the fact is, this piece of equipment has absolutely made an incredible difference in the lives of my patients already and is one of the coolest (and most effective) advancements to come along in the field of chiropractic care in a long time.

What the ATM is, is a wall mounted device that helps to support you while you are doing specific active or static exercises. I know, sounds boring, but trust me, if you have ever suffered pain and had to do some rehab work, you know how painful it can be.

If a certain body part is in pain, and you are supposed to perform some exercises to help strengthen the area, it can be painful to just stand and support yourself while you are doing the exercises. The ATM machine provides the support so you ONLY move the body part you need to thereby reducing the pain associated with any of the movements.

All you do is place the comfortable support straps around your body to hold you in place. These straps are like gentle but secure “seatbelts” that help keep your body stabilized while you are performing either neck, upper back, or lower back movements. You will be comfortably held in place throughout the process and can perform the exercises prescribed in comfort.

I have to say, the people who have tried it so far have been AMAZED! Many of my chiropractic patients here in Austin, Texas absolutely DREAD doing physical therapy because of the pain associated with just supporting their frame while doing the exercises. With the Active Therapeutic Movement system, this is no longer an issue. It really is like receiving a gentle hug while getting your body back on the road to recovery.

For anyone who wants to check it out feel free to stop by my Austin chiropractic office anytime for a quick demo. If you are suffering from any type of back or neck pain currently then you should definitely chat with me about how the ATM system can possibly help.  Here’s to a healthy and active lifestyle, Dr Zeke, signing off!

We’ve recently started introducing our patients to the Intelliskin apparel line developed by Dr. Tim Brown. The patient feedback has been quite positive. The Intelliskin is revolutionary apparel designed to improves posture as well as  joint and spinal alignment.

The functionality of this apparel actually enables back muscles to become stronger versus  brace which in the long run weakens back muscles.

Because nutrition plays such a key role in your continued wellness, we offer nutritional supplements to our Austin chiropractic patients based on thorough patient health assessments. All the product lines we endorse are available through our office.

Metagenics is a renowned provider of medical food products, and Transformation Enzymes Corp. offers digestive enzymes to facilitate the digestive process and improve the body’s ability to maintain balanced metabolism.

A balanced diet is important for a healthy lifestyle, and we recommend the Zone Diet to many of our patients. Also, LifeGuard’s Omega-3 products are sold in their natural form, which is more easily absorbed by the body and mirrors what is derived from actually consuming fish without the potentially harmful toxins.

Your whole body needs proper support – from the ground up. Injury, aging and stressful activities can all cause spinal and intervertebral disc stress. Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers help bring your body back to its natural state of alignment.

Stabilizers are a unique form of custom-made in-shoe orthotics that are designed to reduce skeletal and disc stress. The good news is, you can order them in our chiropractic office instead of having to go to a podiatrist! Our Austin Chiropractic clinic utilizes the Associate Platinum Digital Scanner from Foot Levelers to provide the most accurate possible analysis of your feet.

As many as 8 out of 10 reported symptoms of neck pain and low back pain start at the spinal disc level. That means the shooting pain in your leg or your arm may be your body’s way of letting you know something’s going on with your spine.

The disc between your vertebrae can experience microtrauma everyday due to structural imbalances caused by scoliosis, foot instability, or deconditioned core musculature. Large shearing forces caused by auto accidents or other trauma also result in spinal instability and disc injury.
