At Lawrence Teixeira DC, PA., we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our Altamonte Springs office.

Chiropractic Care

We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Lawrence Teixeira has years of training and experience in spinal adjustment.

Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use.  Exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

Acupuncture

In the traditional Chinese method of acupuncture, health results from a harmonious balance between the complementary extremes (yin and yang) of the life force, known as qi or chi.  By inserting needles into these points in various combinations, the energy is rebalanced alleviating illness.  In the Western method of acupuncture, pain is alleviated by stimulating nerves, muscles and connective tissue to release your body's natural painkillers and increase blood flow.

Active Release Technique

ART is an effective, hands-on, non-surgical approach to relieve your pain. There are over 500 specific treatment protocols that are unique to ART.  ART works by releasing restrictions (scar tissues) to muscles, ligaments and connective tissues and releases trapped nerves.  This allows strength, flexibility, and function to return.

Kinesio Taping 

Although a relatively simple product, Kinesio tape can be used to treat a virtually limitless number of ailments and injuries.   Four major functions of Kinesio taping have been observed over many years of application.  It has been very beneficial in supporting muscles, reducing swelling and pain, improving blood and lymphatic circulation and correcting joint problems. 

 Lifestyle Advice Technique

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another? Dr. Lawrence Teixeira can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.
