Chiropractic Care at The Life House:
Dr. Zack Alme performs 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. In our office, we offer a unique, breakthrough approach to patient care called Koren Specific Techniques (KST). There is no twisting, turning, "cracking" or "popping" of joints with KST; instead, you receive gentle, specific corrections to your spine and structural system. Most adjustments are performed while you are standing or sitting. KST allows us to quickly, easily and gently check and correct (or adjust) your body body for subluxations, wherever they arise. This includes your cranial bones, TMJ, entire spinal column, sacrum, coccyx, discs, hips, sternum, ribs, femur heads (upper thigh bones), shoulders, knees, feet, hands and anything else that needs correcting. Patients usually notice dramatic changes from the first visit and because it is so powerful, they usually make rapid progress towards healing and wellness.

Corrective Exercises at The Life House:
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. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of balance or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

Lifestyle Advice at The Life House:
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 Counseling at The Life House:
We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patients' return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Dr. Zack Alme can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.

Spinal and Postural Screenings at The Life House:
Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. We provide screenings at area malls, community events, health fairs and places of employment. Contact our Lafayette office today to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.

What? No physiotherapy at The Life House?
Extensive research has demonstrated that various physiotherapy modalities designed to reduce pain and swelling can actually cause cellular damage to the exposed areas. This not only interferes with the body's natural healing response, it can also create tissue damage. It is for these reasons that we have chosen NOT to use the following modalities:

- Interferential Current/Electrical Muscle Stimulation

- Microamperage Neural Stimulation

- Ultrasound
