By embracing chiropractic care and lifestyle changes, the Metro East will be recognized as the healthiest community in the country. Friendly, accommodating, informative: adjectives I would use to describe Dr. Novak and his staff. I am impressed with the time and care I am given, as well as the vast array of knowledge that Dr. Novak possesses. He is a doctor, treating the body, but also an educator, teaching me about what I need to do to keep my body healthy. It is with the utmost confidence that I recommend Dr. Novak at the Alternative Health & Pain Center for your medical needs.

This is a widely used type of chiropractic manipulation/adjustment that includes most of the procedures taught in chiropractic institutions. This technique is the most commonly used of all chiropractic techniques and is the one probably most familiar to patients. The Diversified manipulation/adjustment entails a high velocity, low-amplitude thrust delivered by hand and possibly with assistance from a table or block.
Acupuncture is one of the oldest healing practices in the world. As part of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is based on the concept that disease results from disruption in the flow of qi, an imbalance in the forces of yin and yang. Practices such as herbs, meditation, massage, and acupuncture seek to aid healing by restoring the yin-yang balance and the flow of qi.
