Active Release is a hands on method of diagnosing and treating soft tissue injuries through specific manual contacts utilizing active and passive motion. Doctors of Chiropractic, often referred to as chiropractors or chiropractic physicians, practice a hands-on approach to health care. Lotus Healing Arts uses this specialized form of laser therapy to promote cellular healing and provide natural pain relief. We choose to use laser therapy as a natural approach to healthcare, rather than depending on surgery or drugs for treatment and relief.

When I was a kid growing up in the Chicago area, it seemed like my nose was always running or congested to varying degrees, especially during winter. Our family pediatrician was a calm and caring older man who often preferred to prescribe an assortment of natural remedies before resorting to prescription medications I have vivid.

Saw dr ensweiler years ago in my 20s. he suggested i wear a bikini or short shorts for hellerwork which he told me was a special, "secret" program that he only allowed a few patients to participate in. He said he learned it in California. He gave me a pamphlet about it that I had to return so I couldn't tell anyone about it. The program included a week of "practitioner doing performing internal pelvic manipulations" and i crossed through it and did not consent to it.
During the first visit, i went to the back of the office in a dark room filled with candles. Dr Ensweiler screamed at me because i said "you know how it is when you have kids and you don't get to even relax in the car with your radio station?" and he said i don't know him and shouldn't include him in my thoughts. i accidentally did a similar thing and he screamed again.
He then told me he wanted to focus the next 3 visits on "internal pelvic area manipulation". He also said it'd be better for me to heal if i paid cash instead of using my insurance. i never returned! He was reported by my referring doctor to his licensing institution.

Without a doubt the best care I've ever received in chiropractic medicine. Dr. Millard is gentle, personable, knowledgeable and exceptionally skilled. I can get in on a moments notice when in a bad situation. The focus on natural healing and pain free living is fantastic! Would highly recommend to anyone in need!

Since my 20's, about every four months I required a chiropractor specializing in muscles/tendons to unlock my neck and address pain in my hand/wrist area. Active in volleyball, sailing, cross-country skiing, running the dog, playing the piano and guitar, I also worked as an executive assistant. Dr. Ensweiler used a combination of techniques to release my neck and wrist areas: Active Release Techniques, Hellerwork Structural Integration, Graston instruments, and ultrasound.
I no longer have hand/wrist pain and can't remember the last time I had a pulled neck-muscle. For the past several years I also received monthly massages from Deborah. She uses Therapeutic Massage, Deep Tissue, Pressure Point, and/or Hot Stone Therapy. This has a tremendous impact on maintaining and relaxing my neck and wrist areas. I wish I would have known about the benefits of massage back in my 20's!

I refer to Lotus Healing Arts as my Happy Place! Everybody that works there is very friendly. I had never been to a chiropractor before and am so happy to have found Dr. Charity Millard DC. As a pregnant patient for a majority of my visits I am sure I was not always easy to adjust or work with. Having new aches and pains every visit for Dr. Millard to work out. She sure knows what she is doing! Each and every time I left feeling like a new me : I would highly recommend anybody & everybody to Lotus!
