Your team for your future…..

Dr. Cowan began to practice Acupuncture and Chiropractic in January 1984, after graduating from Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City, Mo.  Over the years he has developed a Wellness approach to healthcare with a practical sense.  We are not taught what allows us to age easier. And we are not taught how to minimize the potentials of inevitable disease.  But with some basic natural approaches towards your health it can be easier to get through our time on earth. During his studies of Oriental medicine it was the oriental philosophy of a health care approach that convinced him that the way to good health was a multifaceted approach. 

      1 )  The first facet was acupuncture. Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve the function of the body.              

      2) The second facet was Tui na.  We call it  chiropractic. Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts based upon the understanding that good health depends, in part, upon a normal functioning nervous system.   The chiropractors emphasis is on the spine, and the nerves extending from the spine to all parts of the body. It only makes sense that to maintain good health we need a healthy nervous system.  

      3) The third facet of our philosophy is  nutrition. Our nutritional protocols are based on years of clinical experience and related scientific research that substantiates the use of supplements.  We utilize whole food supplementation which are of a whole food source.  We also utilize a prescription grade herbal product for many health conditions. This also includes diet

        4) The fourth facet is exercise.  Not so much of the vigorous type but that of a moderate nature.  Recent research suggests that you can achieve the same benefits by exercising in short 10-minute bursts of activity as if you had exercised for one continuous 60 minute workout.

Pat Gramlich has been a member of our chiropractic team since the late 80’s.  Since that time she has achieved many accomplishments.  She has obtained a Bachelors of Science in Natural Health Science.  She is a state certified Radiology Technician and now is a Esthetician or Skin Care specialist.  Pat has been our office manager since 1993 and has been doing most of the physiotherapy for this clinic.   She will be performing facials and facial rejuvenations (a natural solution to surgical face lifts or botox injections).  This natural skin care approach is just another part of what our clinic is trying to achieve with our natural solutions anti aging programs.

The inner workings of any organization has to have a steady hand that schedules and keeps things relatively sane for us. Christina Tavener has been a part of our chiropractic team for the past six years.  She has recently become a Certified Chiropractic Physicians Assistant. This means that next to Dr. Cowan she is able to perform most jobs in the clinic with out his assistance.  She had to go to school for two years to obtain this level of distinction in our field of chiropractic.
