Chiropractic
Holistic chiropractic care involves seeing the body as a whole integrated system rather than breaking it down into pieces (for example knee pain is often the result of hip dysfunction but if you only look at the knee you will never find the source).
In the holistic model, chiropractors not only restore functional movement locally to each joint but also evaluate global movement or movement in all parts of the body, not just the area that is hurting. When joints and muscles are not functioning normally in the neck it can have an impact of the normal movement patterns of the low back an hips.
As a holistic chiropractor, Dr. Foley addresses conditions such as neck pain, back pain, disc herniations, nerve pain (radiculopathy), headaches, frozen shoulder and other joint problems.
Often patients need more than one doctor to assist in their care and when necessary Dr. Foley has worked closely with primary care, orthopedists, physical therapists and surgeons to help with a targeted plan of recovery for patients.
Dr. Foley uses a combination of drop table, activator and when needed manual or diversified adjustments.
Pediatric/Prenatal Chiropractic
Dr. Foley uses a combination of drop table, activator and when needed manual or diversified adjustments. She has been in practice for 16 years and is certified in Webster Technique (pregnancy adjusting).
She became passionate about working with pregnancy and infants after she had her son. She did an internship with prenatal chiropractor and once licensed worked under a chiropractor who specialized pregnancy and pediatric chiropractic for 4 years.
NEURO EMOTIONAL TECHNIQUE (NET)
Emotional stress takes a toll on our physical body. Typically we think of stress as a mental phenomenon, but most people can point to at least one symptom they experience as a result of stress (headache, neck pain, acid reflux, diarrhea, etc.). Calling someone “a pain in my neck” or “a pain in the butt” is not just hyperbole. If emotional stress gets bad enough it can cause physiological changes within the body and brain resulting in disease.
Dr. Foley uses a ground breaking somatic technique called NET (Neuro- Emotional Technique) to help address the physiological affects of stress on the body. Please follow the hyperlink below to learn more about NET.
Nutritional Services
Dr. Foley can also assess nutritional needs for patients in addition to chiropractic adjusting. A well-balanced diet can support overall health, aid in healing, and improve the effectiveness of chiropractic care. Beyond basic dietary recommendations, Dr. Foley was trained in a functional medicine approach to evaluating patients.
Functional medicine is patient-centered and seeks to address the root cause of chronic diseases, rather than just treating symptoms. Many health issues, especially auto-immune conditions, arise from complex interactions between genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors.
Dr. Foley works closely with other doctors when needed (naturopaths, primary care doctors and specialists like orthopedists, rheumatologists, physical therapists, etc.) in order to ensure the best results for each patient.
