Custom Orthotics

A digital foot scan helps us detect imbalances which may need correction.The joints and muscles of the human body function most efficiently when they are in balance. The body is a biomechanical chain where an abnormal movement can alter the rest of the body function. During standing and walking our body is subjected to natural forces that can inflict mechanical stress. For example, if you stand for your job 5 hours or more per day you have excessive stress on your joints including your hips, knees and back. When a foot imbalance is present the negative impact on your joints is magnified. A digital foot scan can help us to see if you have these imbalances which may need correction. It can also answer questions about unexplained knee, hip or chronic back pain. A full report is included with this no charge scan!

These nine powerful essential oils work as natural, chemical-free replacements for items you use every single day. Essential oils are concentrated liquids extracted from aromatic plants. These natural oils protect plants from insects, environmental conditions, and disease. If you've ever squeezed a lemon or orange peel and seen the liquid that comes out - that's the essential oil.

Dr. Huffman Asks some important questions of interest to New Castle residents - Chiropractor New Castle Dr. Huffman Asks...

Do nerves actually get pinched?
Chiropractors recognize two types of nerve disorders involved in subluxation. The least common is a pinched nerve that diminishes nerve supply to an affected organ or tissue. More common is the irritated nerve (facilitative lesion) which overexcites nerve communications to an affected organ or tissue. Chiropractic care has been shown to help with both types.
Why are chiropractors wary of the germ theory?
Louis Pasteur originated the idea that germs caused disease. Yet, on his deathbed he recanted, declaring, "It's not the seed, but the soil." Meaning, it's not the germ that causes disease, but the condition of the body that allows the germ to thrive. Chiropractic care in our New Castle office is designed to bolster your resistance so germs don't see you as a good host.
