Chiropractic

First time client?

First time clients seeking chiropractic care will see Dr. Quinn or Dr. Fennel for 1 full hour. This gives you ample time to discuss the particularities of your body. Dr. Quinn or Dr. Fennel will assess your standing and sitting postures, gait, and other natural positions. You will discuss any aches or pains, past or current injuries, daily habits and health cycles, and any other relevant information. Your doctor will then use Applied Kinesiology methods to pinpoint the inhibited muscles in your body and release the tension.

Follow-up appointments will be 30-minutes long and will continue at an individualized frequency until the issue calms down.

Check-up appointments are 15-minutes long and can be scheduled regularly and in advance. These are essential for maintaining the improvements earned in the previous appointments.

Efficient and effective: We believe that longer sessions make lasting changes. When you have time to work one-on-one with a doctor without feeling rushed, we can get to the root of the problem faster and more successfully. This allows for shorter, more focused treatment terms for you in the long run. We do not require long-term commitments from our clients. You pay as you go and we reevaluate your case at every session.

What is Applied Kinesiology?

AK uses manual muscle testing to evaluate structural, chemical, and neurological elements of health. By testing the strength of the muscles and analyzing your body's movement patterns, we can pinpoint inhibitions in connected systems. AK-based treatments may involve myofascial releasing, muscle activation, joint manipulation, cranial adjustments, nutrition and dietary management, emotional releasing, elimination of environmental irritants, or any combination of these. Together with you, we work to retrain your body to work optimally and restore it to a state appropriate for better function and movement. The body holds the answers and the dynamics of the musculoskeletal system are how we find them.

Who is chiropractic for?

The short answer is: almost anyone. Though most people seek chiropractic for structural issues and injury recovery, it can help with much more than musculoskeletal complaints alone. We have seen success in patients dealing with migraines, anxiety, sleep troubles, digestive issues, vertigo and balance issues, nerve damage, chronic pain, and more. All bodies adapt to how they are used, just as we adapt to the limitations of our bodies. Over time, these adaptations can create sore spots from overuse or underuse. Our job is to break some of those patterns, freshen up the routines your body leans on, and help you pave the way for more dynamic, healthy, and aligned movement. We use Applied Kinesiology to efficiently locate and treat these areas and get you feeling your best.

Notes

After your first visit, you may experience some discomfort or pain that lasts past the end of your session. This can happen for a few reasons:

a) some structural issues can take a few sessions to fully relax or may need recurring adjustments

b) this is your first time getting an adjustment so your body does not yet recognize the feeling and is responding accordingly

c) to release certain muscle groups, a significant amount of pressure is often required, which in some patients can lead to bruising

Functional Medicine

First time client?

For first-time clients seeking functional medicine care, we recommend booking a free phone consultation. The consultation is a good time to get a feel for our practice and give our team time to contemplate your case. We may schedule your first appointment on this day or your doctor may order some lab work for you. These lab results will come to our office; we will call you to make your first appointment when we get them (usually 1-3 weeks, depending on the tests).

On your first appointment, you will see your doctor for 1 full hour. During this hour, you will discuss the results of your lab work (if applicable) and give further details on your health. This could include aches and pains, immunity, trends you've noticed, daily habits, emotional wellbeing, and any other relevant information. This gives you ample time to discuss the particularities for your body and lifestyle, your recent lab work (or compare to old lab work), and any health goals you want to reach. (Don’t be afraid of sharing–sometimes we don't notice some information is relevant until we talk about it!) Your treatment may include minerals, herbs, vitamins, diet changes, detoxification, chiropractic adjustments, massages, light therapy, lifestyle changes, or some combination of these. This is completely dependent on the patient and their particular needs.

Follow-up appointments will be 30-minutes long and will continue at an individualized frequency until the issue calms down. Keep close track of your changes and progress.

Check-up appointments are 15-minutes long as needed and can be scheduled regularly and in advance. During your treatment period, these are essential to maintaining your progress.

Efficient and effective: We believe that longer sessions make lasting changes. When you have time to work one-on-one with a doctor without feeling rushed, we can get to the root of the problem faster and more successfully. This allows for shorter treatment terms in the long run. We do not require long-term commitments from our clients. You pay as you go and we reevaluate your case at every session.

Who is Functional Medicine for?

Functional medicine is for anyone. Many of our patients are those who have seen specialist after specialist for years, but have found themselves in the same cycles over an over again. Others see us in an effort to optimize their health and promote their own longevity and happiness on this earth. Functional medicine practitioners avoid putting on band-aids to treat your symptoms; the goal is to stop the symptom from happening in the first place by determining the root cause. We see patients with autoimmune diseases, hormone imbalances, chronic pain, GI complications like IBS or candida, depression and anxiety, migraines and headaches, thyroid issues, sleep problems, cardiac issues, compromised immunity, and more. We want to help you connect the dots. Through personally tailored treatments plans, we aim to help you construct a full picture of your health--not break it up into isolated symptoms. We’re here to address the root cause of your health complications. For new Functional Medicine clients, we recommend starting with a free consultation.

Notes

It is a good idea to bring any current supplements or medicines with you, but is not required. Treatment may include minerals, herbs, vitamins, diet changes, detoxification, chiropractic adjustments, massages, light therapy, lifestyle changes, or some combination of these. This is completely dependent on the patient and their particular needs. Don’t be afraid of sharing–sometimes we don't notice some information is relevant until we talk about it! All the little details are just more information to help us determine what's best for you and your health.

Healing with Functional Medicine requires concerted effect on the part of the physician as well as the patient. We can guide you through the changes to make in your life that will help you get better, but ultimately it is up to you to make and stick with those changes, record your progress, and be honest with us. You must be ready to heal.

Massage Therapy

Deep Tissue Massage

A deep tissue massage is usually geared toward pain relief and myofascial releasing. Our deep tissue massages include care of the whole body, but be sure that during your visit you communicate with your practitioner about any sensitive spots or problem areas that may need more attention. Deep tissue massages can induce intense relaxation, improve mobility and flexibility, decrease headaches and GI issues, improve symptoms of depression and anxiety, help with chronic aches and pains, and improve lymphatic and blood circulation.

Soreness is natural. Be sure to rest and drink lots of water afterward.

Heated body mat and essential oils included.

Available for 60 or 90 minute slots.

Massage at Ozark Holistic Center

Getting a massage here at Ozark Holistic Center is different from what you might get at a big massage company. Here, we are client-focused and take a clinical approach. We view it as our job not just to help you relax, but to really heal you. We want to address the issues you're noticing in your life, whether that's recovery from an injury, improved sleep, or releasing body tension. We offer a variety of styles and all of our therapists are trained to work with you and respond directly to your needs. Massage sessions are either 60, 90, or 30 minutes.

Cranial-Sacral Massage

A cranial-sacral massage is meant to stimulate flow of cerebral-spinal fluid (CSF). The CSF is an essential part of how the brain communicates with the rest of the body, sends and receives nutrients, and cleans out waste products. This is an often overlooked element of health. Improving CSF flow has been shown to improve sleep quality and consistency, breathing and circulation, GI issues, cognition and memory, decrease headaches, and improve organ health. Cranial-sacral massages are administered while the client is clothed and utilizes a very light touch.

Available for 60 minute slots.

Swedish Massage

A Swedish massage focuses on relaxation. With medium pressure, our massage therapists can help relieve tension in stubborn areas and ease you into a state of comfort and full-body relaxation. Please tell your practitioner about any allergies or sensitive areas you may have before the session gets under way.

Heated body mat and essential oils included.

Available for 60 or 90 minute slots.

Prenatal Massage

Massages for pregnant bodies. Only therapists certified in prenatal massage can administer this type. Prenatal massages can help with the specific aches and pains of pregnancy. They can address neck, back, foot, and hip pain as well as GI complications, sleep issues, and anxiety. These are also helpful for clients who have recently had their babies, are experiencing pregnancy-related or post-partum pains or emotional distress.

Heated body mat, pregnancy pillow, and essential oils included.

Be sure to rest and drink plenty of water afterward.

For these massages, only Evey can be booked.

Available for 60 minute slots.

Acupuncture

First time client?

First time clients seeking acupuncture care will see Jessica for 90 minutes. This gives you ample time to discuss the particularities of your body. Jessica will assess any relevant information about your aches and pains, past or current injuries, daily habits and health cycles, and any other relevant information. This detailed health history combined with a physical exam and a discussion of your goals and concerns will lead to a unique treatment plan. Other related therapies may be included in your treatment plan, such as cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, and herbal remedies.

Follow-up appointments will be 1 hour long, and will continue at an individualized frequency until the issue calms down. Keep close track of your changes and progress.

Please call the office to book your appointments.

Why get Acupuncture?

Acupuncture can help a wide variety of health complaints including pain relief, soothing arthritis symptoms, reducing frequency of headaches and migraines, addressing hormonal imbalances, menstrual or menopausal complications, low stamina, sleep issues, digestive complications, anxiety, depression, nerve issues, insomnia, allergies, and much more. With precise actions, it promotes natural healing and can enhance recuperative power, immunity, support physiological and emotional health, and improve overall function and well-being. It is a safe, painless and effective way to treat a plethora of medical problems.

Notes

For the best treatment results, keep a few things in mind. You should do your best to: show up on time, avoid eating a large meal before your visit, wear loose, comfortable clothing, discuss any questions or concerns each visit, and refrain from overexertion, drugs, or alcohol for at least six hours after treatment. Follow your treatment plan between visits and keep all of your appointments (each visit builds upon the previous ones). Your actions are a key component of your treatment plan. Focusing on your health and committing to a healthy lifestyle are the best steps you can take for your well-being. Together, we can heal your ailments and help you achieve harmony and balance. Even after your symptoms are resolved, acupuncture can assist you in maintaining your health, and possibly prevent future complications. The more you incorporate acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine into your life, the more you’ll learn to nurture your body, mind, and spirit.

Light Therapy

First time client?

Infrared Sauna sessions are 40 minutes long. Unlike most spa saunas, an infrared sauna produces infrared light and dry heat at around 145 degrees. We offer a private room, cool towels, and cold Mountain Valley Spring Water to accompany your sessions. We recommend at least 1 visit a week to receive maximum benefits.

HALO sessions are 15 minutes long. For HALO patients, we recommend 2-3 visits a week to receive maximum benefits.

Please call the office to book HALO appointments.

HALO

Blue light waves are very narrow and able to penetrate deep into the skin to stimulate cell activity. The light first passes through vials of botanicals with a range of restorative properties. We've seen results from the HALO with skin issues including psoriasis, eczema, scar tissue recovery, and other issues like sleep health, pain management, nerve issues, energy levels, and chronic fatigue.

Infrared Sauna

Our private sitting-style sauna maintains a temperature of about 145 degrees. Infrared light waves penetrate the skin and excite cell activity all over the body. This excitement stimulates ATP production in the cells, creating a body state similar to exercise. You will notice a higher heart rate, stronger breathing, and often a clarity of mind. This combined with about 40 minutes of exposure to high temperatures creates an intense, cleansing sweat--and when we sweat, we release toxins that have built up in the body and increase circulation. Infrared light has been shown to aid in detoxification, weight loss, cardiac health, sleep, immunity, and muscle recovery.
