STORY BY FIT CITY MAG

Tell us a little about yourself and why you love what you do. I graduated Parker university with a doctor of chiropractic degree in 2017 and I’ve been serving patients since then. This profession is so rewarding, knowing that you are making a real difference in the lives of your patients. Vitamin injection, acupuncture and dry needling are some of other services we offer to our patients along with chiropractic treatment.

What is the difference between Dry Needling and Acupuncture? They both involve the insertion of the needle into certain parts of the body. In acupuncture, the goal is to restore and balance the proper flow of qi (energy) throughout the body. The needles are left in place for 20 to 30 minutes at points along meridian lines, which represent the body’s organs. Dry needling, on the other hand, aims to release or inactivate trigger points to relieve pain or improve range of motion. During dry needling, needles are placed directly into the painful muscles to treat trigger points and relieve tension in that specific area. Patients may feel muscle twitching when the needle is inserted.

What are the benefits of acupuncture and who is the ideal candidate for this service? Many people seek acupuncture treatment for pain reduction and improvement of overall health. Acupuncture can be helpful in various conditions, including emotional issues (stress relief), digestive problems, musculoskeletal issues, respiratory conditions (allergies), neurological disorders (headaches), and gynecological concerns (menstrual pain, infertility). Additionally, acupuncture can support better immune and nervous system function.

However, not everyone is a suitable candidate for acupuncture, just like with any treatment option. During your initial consultation, you and your provider will discuss your treatment goals, medical history, and medications you take to determine if acupuncture is appropriate for you. Before your treatment, be sure to inform the practitioner if you have a bleeding disorder, are pregnant, or have a pacemaker.

Talk to us about all things injections. From tox to vitamins, what do we need to know? We offer B12, B COMPLEX, D3, Glutathione and vitamin C injection. B Complex injections can increase your energy level, improve migraine symptoms, and increase nervous system function. Side effects are very uncommon and combining both B Complex and B12 injections can provide an overall boost to the way you feel and look. Glutathione plays a very important role in detoxifying the body, fighting free radicals and repairing damage and because of its role in supporting regeneration of cells and inhibition of Tyrosinase (an enzyme that makes melanin), it can decrease wrinkles, increase skin elasticity and brightening skin tone. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant. It plays an important role in boosting immune system, wound healing, energy level, and collagen production. Vitamin D plays an important role in regulating cellular functions throughout your body. Vitamin D supports our immune system and helps keep our bone, teeth and muscles strong.

Dr. Mila, your skin is gorgeous! How do we get smooth glowing skin this summer? Hydration is the key to a glowing skin. Take some vitamin C to renew the skin. Detoxing with purifying mask, getting facials at least once a month and glutathione injection are so beneficial in skin regeneration process. Fit Spa has highly educated licensed aestheticians ready to book for this supportive glow.

We know health starts from the inside out, what other services should we consider to make us feel better? Chiropractic care specifically focuses on the health and function of your spine and nervous system. Chiropractic adjustments can help decrease the stress placed on the spine and nervous system, allowing the body to function closer to its full capacity. The NeuFit device is a technology that utilizes direct current therapy and neurological stimulation to reset faulty nerve signaling, accelerate recovery, balance muscles (whether overactive or inhibited), and manage chronic and acute pain. I highly recommend therapeutic massage for a deep sense of relaxation and stress relief. It increases blood flow, breaks down adhesions, relaxes tight muscles, and helps reduce stress.

How do you provide chiropractic care for babies? This is an area where we love to help parents understand the benefit of chiropractic care beyond ache and pain. The goal here is to balance the nervous system which is the master system of the body, controlling all of its function. By addressing the areas of stress with gentle, specific adjustments we can relax their system and see pretty awesome results in little ones for example reducing colic, constipation, better sleep and immune system.
