Chiropractic care is a science and art, which has a rich history in Iowa as it was first discovered in Davenport, Iowa. A man named D.D. Palmer restored another man’s hearing by putting direct force from posterior to anterior on a painful spinal protrusion. This was an amazing and rare ocurrence that truly sparked the interest in this approach to health that believes how our spine and the nervous system is functioning affects virtually all aspects of our health. Palmer went on to develop the fountainhead of chiropractic, Palmer College, and since 1897 thousands of specialists are practicing worldwide as part of an adjusting force of 60,000 plus. Chiropractic doctoral training is quite extensive in orthopedic, neurologic, and musculoskeletal assessment. The primary form of care for chiropractors is the spinal adjustment or extremity adjustment which entails a specific correction to spinal joints or tissues that are “subluxed,” a term referring to a partial dislocation of joint which in misalignment causes spinal and neural interference. If your spine is subluxed or simply put—out of alignment—you may have symptoms or you may not for a long period of time. In other words your symptoms are a late indicator of spinal conditions such, as scoliosis for example, in the same way that cavity pain is a late indicator of tooth decay. Nerves and tissues can sustain a great deal of stress before symptoms appear. The upside is that you feel fine, the downside is unless you get your spine checked, you likely have some areas that are not functioning at their full potential. The reason: The world we live in is complex and challenging to the our bodies in many ways. Thoughts, Traumas, Toxins are the three main challenges we face, which could be potential contributors to most all spinal or body conditions, Physical, Chemical, and Emotional. Thorough spinal checkups, Myovision scans, Footlevers evaluation, digital X-rays, and postural analysis are various powerful tools used in this office to look for potential spinal problems. The spine is an amazing part of our bodies because it allows such a variety of ranges of motion and elegant function all the while housing the nervous system composed of the brain, spinal cord, and the great network of nerves that branch from it. The nervous system is the ultimate integrator of all body function and communicates for each cell, tissue, and organ of the body depends solely upon what protects them--the spinal joints and their supporting muscles and ligaments. Spinal care is a vital part of your health and chiropractors are the best providers to help. Dr. Langille provides relief and wellness care for patients of all types. He recommends that young children during or between their growth and development stages are especially able to enjoy the benefits of chiropractic care and often respond amazingly to regular check-ups. His older patients appreciate his attention to detail and gentle forms of adjusting.

CR Digital X-Ray
Computed Radiography (CR) uses very similar equipment to conventional radiography except that in place of a film to create the image, an imaging plate (IP) made of photostimulable phosphor is used. The imaging plate housed in a special cassette and placed under the body part or object to be examined and the x-ray exposure is made. Hence, instead of taking an exposed film into a darkroom for developing in chemical tanks or an automatic film processor, the imaging plate is run through a special laser scanner, or CR reader, that reads and digitizes the image. The digital image can then be viewed and enhanced using software that has functions such as contrast, brightness, filtration and zoom.

Advantages to Digital X-Rays:

Image quality is superior to conventional films and often more is there to be examined.
CR digital X-ray requires fewer retakes which results in lower overall dose to the patient.
No silver based film or chemicals— more environmentally friendly
Images can be stored digitally and emailed or copied easily for other health care providers.
Image acquisition is much faster - image previews can be available in less than 45 seconds.
Images can be enhanced digitally to aid in interpretation.

Very few Council Bluffs/Omaha Chiropractors have digital X-rays.

MyoVision - Spinal Thermography
In the last one hundred years chiropractic techniques and evaluation methods have changed a great deal. Chiropractors have since their earliest times used electrical and temperature detectors along the spine to detect interference and imbalances. Developments have progressed by leaps and bounds in this field. Myovision employed NASA scientists to develop sensitive detectors to assess electrical activity of all regions of the spine in order to help chiropractors easily detect areas of interference and imbalance. This tool has is fortunately able help with improved treatment efficiency and quantitatively measuring progress. The exam is painless, risk free, and is included in your initial exam. You may schedule this exam as a part of a free consultation with Dr. Langille as well.

Postural Photo Analysis
There are some 365,000,000 possible postures of the spine. Some are obviously healthier than others. Posture is one of the most important things to consider for your spine and overall health. It affects everything from your mood to how fast your joints will break down. The goal of posture analysis is to identify distortions such as hiked hip or shoulder, rotated knees, head tilt, etc. and correlate that with other findings. It is a good starting point in identifying which exercises will help improve structural function. It is also a good way to re-evaluate postural improvements or changes that may occur during care.

Stabilizing Orthotics
Most people with foot imbalances experience little or no pain in their feet. Instead, the pain is transferred to other areas of your body. Your feet are the foundation of your entire body, and having proper posture is the best way to support your body. If you have weakness or unstable positioning in either foot, it can contribute to knee pain, back pain or neck pain. By balancing your feet, Stabilizers help improve your posture, enhance your body's performance and efficiency, reduce pain, and contribute to your total body wellness. Stabilizing Orthotics were made by a chiropractor to treat the body as a functional unit and give you the support you need. They support the 26 bones and over 100 muscles in each of your feet to protect your foundation. You can maintain your feet's 3-arched structure, the plantar vault, to balance the entire body with our orthotics. They're unique - just like you!
