At Mounds View Chiropractic, our mission is to offer the best care possible in a manner that is specific to each patient's individual needs.  Dr. Huffman has advanced training in Chiropractic Neurology through the Carrick Institute of Neurology which enables him to better serve those suffering from chronic neurologic conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Migraines, Vertigo/Dizziness, Neuropathy, Chronic Fatigue and a number of other conditions.  He also has experience and training in treating patients who are suffering acute injuries such as whiplash trauma sustained in an auto accident, tension headaches, neck pain, back pain, ankle sprains, and many other conditions. 

    As a patient of Mounds View Chiropractic, you can be sure that you will receive a thorough examination before you are treated.  If Dr. Huffman determines that you are a candidate for care at our clinic, he will develop a treatment plan specific to your condition.  Dr. Huffman chooses to use very specific adjustment techniques for your specific needs.  He may also recommend one or more therapeutic procedures to complement your adjustment.  Following is a descriptive list of most of the treatment methods and therapies Dr. Huffman may choose to use in your case: 

Adjustment Techniques:

• Diversified Method-This is the traditional "hands on" Chiropractic adjustment. 
• The Arthrostim-This is an electrical instrument that gives 12-14 impulses per second into the joints and surrounding musculature.
• The Vibracussor-This instrument saturates the tissues with a combination of vibration and percussion.  It feels great, and helps to increase blood and lymph flow in the tissues. It also helps to break up adhesions left in the muscles from old chronic injuries.
• Unilateral Adjustments-This is a method of adjusting the spine designed to stimulate proper cortical or cerebellar function.  This is most commonly used in conjunction with Brain Based Therapy to treat chronic neurologic conditions.

Therapies:

• Whole Body Vibration-This is a vibrating platform that the patient stands on.  It sends vertical vibrations throughout the body helping to increase blood and lymph flow throughout the body.  It also increases stimulation of the nerves. 
• Cold Laser-This is a highly researched low level laser that stimulates regeneration of cells throughout the body. It also helps to decrease inflammation in tissues. 
• Ion Detoxification Foot Bath-We all accumulate toxins in our body through the food we intake, and the environment we live in.  We live in a toxic world.  As the toxins accumulate in our bodies it can cause GI distress, muscle pain, and chronic fatigue.  The EB Pro Ion Detoxification system is a researched method of removing heavy metals and many other toxins from our bodies. 
• Electrical Muscle Stimulation-It helps to reduce spasticity in muscles.  It produces endorphins and enkephalons, which are natural pain relievers within the body.
• Neuromuscular Re-education-Procedures used to retrain dysfunctional muscles throughout the body.  It aids in the stabilization of joints that are weak and dysfunctional.
• Oxygen Therapy-Oxygen Concentrators supply oxygen enriched air to supplement proper brain function.   
• Brain Based Therapy-Many patients who suffer from chronic neurologic conditions have areas of decreased cortical or cerebellar function.  Through a thorough neurogical evaluation Dr. Huffman will locate areas of decreased function in the brain.  When there is an area of the brain that fails to function as efficiently as it should, other areas of the brain begin to overfire, causing imbalance and dysfunction in the body. Brain Based Therapies are used to rehabilitate the specific area of decreased function.  Brain Based Therapies commonly used in the clinic are warm water calorics, whole body vibration, saccadic eye movements, exercise with oxygen therapy, and many others.
