REFLEXOLOGY | REIKI
Reflexology is an all around treatment for the body that focuses on pressure points in the feet and hands. This therapy has been traced back thousands of years and is practiced in many countries, each of them differing slightly in performance. The history of Reflexology goes back so far that there is some confusion about the true origin of this powerful therapy; sufficient to say that it has stood the test of time and has helped thousands of people to better their health. What is common among all the different styles is that all of them take on the notion that your feet map your body, and with 7,000 nerve endings in your feet connecting to a correlating body part. The understanding of these nerve endings and the manipulation thereof creates a unique and effective therapy. At Rituals, we work as a team to treat each person from a different perspective, so if Reflexology is not giving you enough relief, rest assured we have you covered.
MORE ABOUT REFLEXOLOGY
“I completed my Reflexology training in 2017, when I was ironically at the worst point in my life health-wise. Severe inflammation and trauma from a complicated pregnancy/birth riddled my body, plus dealing with anxiety and depression, I wasn’t doing well physically or mentally. And, like most mom’s, I was attempting to balance work and home life, admittedly unsuccessfully. Every time I went to the doctor, I was met with more pills and more comments about my weight. I started getting regular massages, and from there my interest stemmed into all things natural. By the following year I had completely ditched the pharmaceuticals and began exploring other therapies to help heal me, including Yoga, Saunas, acupuncture, breath-work, and Chiropractic care and a variety of herbs. Then I discovered Reiki, a gentle energetic therapy working to balance and calm a chaotic chakra system. Studying the energy body was a massive turning point in my life, and it has become my passion to share what I have learned with my clients.”
DRY NEEDLING
Dry needling is a technique used to treat pain and movement impairments. The term "dry" implies that the needling is dry and there is no use of medication or injection. Though quite different from acupuncture, the same types of needles are utilized.
POSTPARTUM HOME VISITS
We firmly believe in staying home and bonding during the first two weeks of a new child’s life. Whether you are completely new parents or have a newly larger family, taking the stress out of just being coordinated enough to get out of the house can be all you need to survive the day.
The postpartum home visit is reserved for existing patients of Rituals Chiropractic and is vitally important for the now healing postpartum body (whether it underwent the trauma of vaginal or cesarean birth). Just as you made sure you were aligned during pregnancy, proper alignment in the postpartum timeframe will make you more comfortable and allow for faster healing.
The home visit is also the perfect time to make sure your newest edition is adjusted and set for optimal growth and comfort. Birth can be very traumatic for the newborn and often times the head and neck are pulled on in order to speed up the birthing process. This stressor can cause issue which might show up in multiple ways such as: colic, spitting up, torticollis, constipation, and excessive crying.
Dr. Lauren will bring her portable table to your home, set up, and chat with you about the birth and how you are currently feeling. Your care, as usual, will be custom tailored to you and your new baby and will take place in the comfort of your own home! Dr. Lauren has had both a cesarean birth and a vaginal birth so she personally understands the nuances of both and the relief felt when knowing that the care can come to you!!
Online booking is not available for the Postpartum Home Visit appointment so please call the office with your request. If you are not currently a patient but would like to become one in order to take advantage of this option, we also look forward to your call!

DNS
Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) was developed in Prague by a physical therapist and is built upon the foundation of human movements which are established during the first critical years of life. During those years the nervous system establishes programs that control posture, movement, and gait. DNS utilizes the "neurodevelopmental aspects of motor control to assess and restore dysfunction to the locomotor system," as stated on the DNS website.
Dr. Lauren prefers to incorporate this technique into new patient's first few visits to help them establish restored function and dynamics in addition to chiropractic adjustments.
