Chiropractic, Nutrition-Muscle Testing and Bodywork
Chiropractic physicians use a more holistic approach. They are trained to diagnose and treat disorders of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems including energetic, emotional and chemical factors. So even if it doesn’t seem relevant, we need to understand how you came to the place where you are right now. There is no shortcut to the healing process. There is not one answer to your problem. Each of us are unique and so is the source of your ailment.

How we look at common complaints:
- Headaches, eye pressure, fatigue, neck pain may be caused by liver congestion.
- Bloating, gas, weight gain can result from low back issues.
- Brain fog, fatigue suggests there may be neck issues.
- Anxiety, irritability, depression might be due to jaw issues.
- Knee, shoulder, mid back pain can be caused by gallbladder issues.
The layers of the healing process are not only physical (spinal alignment and muscle knots), but also emotional and chemical. Dr. Christine Schlenker will provide treatment based on accepted natural health care practices, good nutrition, healthy activity, and focus on the power of your body to heal naturally for long-term wellness. Learn about what we do.
Chiropractic Care
A chiropractic adjustment at our clinic in Milaca is powerful, yet safe. Your body’s ability to heal in response to a chiropractic adjustment is even more powerful. Dr. Christine Schlenker does not heal your condition, but restores normal function within the nervous system allowing your body to begin its own healing process.
Your body has an innate intelligence to react perfectly to every situation with the goal of maintaining homeostasis or balance. In adjusting balances, the chiropractor gives back your body’s ability to respond to the challenges it encounters.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture at our office is used by Dr. Christine as a therapy along with your chiropractic care because the level of education and scope of practice include working on pain. If you are looking for help for things such as tinnitus, infertility, reflux, and other ailments that are beyond the physical pain aspect, we refer out to our great acupuncturists in Elk River and St. Cloud to help you.
Nutrition
Dr. Christine uses Applied Kinesiology- Muscle Testing as the primary technique in determining the cause of your symptoms and the remedies that may help you. Muscle testing is an energetic technique that uses magnets and vials to assess weaknesses noted in neurological response. Examples of what would be assessed: Microbes (bacteria, parasites, fungus, candida, mycotoxin and biofilms), Foods, Blood health, Chemical/ Environmental exposure (mold and others), Hormones, Histamine, and a few others. Once the imbalance has been found, then the corrective herb or supplement is used to correct the issue. This may also include a lot of changes to your lifestyle such as adding in certain foods, adding in body movement/ exercise, or practicing journaling or breathwork.
