Dr. Melissa Reinke, DC

I use a variety of treatment techniques and would be concidered an Evidence Based Diversified practitioner. This means I use the best evidence available to guide my treatment plans and use several different treatment types, which allows for options in care. I recognize that you know your body better than anyone else and respect your preferences when it comes to creating a treatment plan that best fits you and your goals.

Treatment Techniques Include:

~Spinal Manipulation Therapy (SMT) is a hands on adjustment used to provide a quick stretch through a joint. Joint Manipulation is typically accompanied by a popping sound. This "pop" is from the collapse of little gas bubbles in the joint due to the pressue change that comes from being stretched.

~Joint Mobilization is a gentle way to stretch a joint within it's normal range of motion. This is a great option for children, seniors, and those who are unsure about being adjusted.

~Activator is a hand held instrument used to create a high speed but low force adjustment through a joint. Similarly to mobilizations, this gentle technique is a great option for those who do not want a traditional adjustment, as well as for children and the elderly.

~Drop piece is an excellent option for low back and pelvic pain patients. This gentle technique involves pushing down on the pelvis while a collapsable section of the chiropractic table drops. The momentum from the table piece dropping creates a deep, comfortable stretch through the low back and hips.

~Soft Tissue Therapy including Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, trigger point needling, and muscle stripping. These are active deep muscle treatments used to improve muscle function.

~Custom Made Orthotics

Contemporary Medical Acupuncture

At Naturally Balanced, we offer both Contemporary Medical Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Acupuncture (TCM). For more information on TCM Acupuncture Click Here.

While acupuncture has roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Dr. Reinke uses a different treatment approach. She was trained in Contemporary Medical Acupuncture (CMA) through McMaster University, a program that is world renowned and at the forefront of today’s acupuncture research.

CMA is a treatment which involves insertion and gentle manipulation of needles in the body. These needles can affect muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and joints and work to return the body to its natural balance. CMA can be used to treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions such as low back and neck pain, muscle injury, nerve entrapment, joint sprains, and headaches.
