Activator Chiropractic Care:
An Activator is a handheld instrument used to perform spinal adjustments on patients. We use the activator on some of our patients who have extreme hypersensitivity to standard adjusting techniques and also utilize it during the spinal adjusting of infants and patients with advanced osteoporosis. Dr. Schomaker will assess your condition and discuss with you if you would benefit from utilizing an activator versus standard hands on chiropractic adjusting procedures.

 Nutritional Advice and Counseling:
Nutrition is very important in everyone's life. Unfortunately, many times we just are too busy and jsut do not take the time to take care of ourselves the way we know we should and in doing so we ignore a lot of obvious signs and symptoms of nutritional problems. Dr. Schomaker pays close attention to these issues and he will advise and recommend any supplements he thinks would benefit a patients health as well as discussing any changes in existing dietary habits that may be necessary.
 Sole Supports True Custom Made Foot Orthotics:
Dr. Schomaker is one of the few physicians in the area that is certified in the fitting of Sole Supports true custom made foot orthotics. Unfortunately, the market is flooded these days with claims of custom made orthotics and the choice is difficult and confusing. sadly, the vast majority of these generic products so heavily marketed on TV and radio are useless particularly in regards to eliminating the problems long term. Unlike the many generic orthotics on the market claiming to be custom made, Sole Supports incorporates the most technologically advanced process of fitting and design while still maintaining an affordable product. Dr. Schomaker can examine your feet and posture while taking into account your history of foot, knee, hip and low back pain and assess if you are a candidate for Sole Supports true custom made foot orthotics.
