VERTEBRA HEALTH INSTITUTE
A Natural Approach to Healing
Integrative medicine is the art and science of healing that addresses the whole person – mind, body and spirit. We integrate conventional and alternative therapies to prevent and treat disease, and most importantly, to promote optimal health. We work closely with traditional allopathic healthcare providers to ensure our patients receive the best care possible. We invite you to join us on this wonderful journey of healing. Naprapathic treatments offered in our practice are a great way to alleviate back pain, shoulder issues, hip and knee pain, muscle pain and other musculoskeletal problems.
OUR TREATMENTS
A Unique Approach
Each body holds the key to its own healing. We provide the treatments, resources, and tools necessary to unlock the innate potential each of us holds inside. We work to create a safe and compassionate environment for you to discover what will help you lead a healthier and more relaxed life. You can live the life you want, and we are here to support you along the way.
NAPRAPATHIC MANUAL MEDICINE
Naprapathic treatment is a combination of gentle manual musculoskeletal manipulations, aiming to decrease pain and disability in the neuromusculoskeletal system. Naprapathic medicine treats connective tissue disorders through connective tissue manipulation to the spine and joints and variety of therapeutic modalities as well as nutiritional counseling.
THERAPEUTIC CUPPING
The suction and negative pressure provided by cupping can loosen muscles, encourage blood flow, and sedate the nervous system (which makes it an excellent treatment for high blood pressure). Cupping is used to relieve back and neck pains, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraines, rheumatism, and even cellulite among other ailments.
KINESIOLOGY TAPING
Kinesio Taping is a technique based on the body’s own natural healing process. It exhibits its efficacy through the activation of neurological and circulatory systems. Kinesiotaping treats sports and non-sports injuries like plantar fasciitis, back pain and tennis elbow effectively with precision that normal braces can’t provide. It microscopically lifts the skin from the muscle and fascia to create a decompressive effect that supports better blood flow for faster healing.
NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING
The guidance from a healthcare professional in choosing nutritional supplements is integral to the long-term well being of our patients. We work only with companies who provide the highest quality products available exclusively through licensed health care professionals. We feel it is our responsibility to sort through available options and find the best products to support the health of those who put their trust in us.
RED LIGHT THERAPY
Red light therapy has a variety of benefits and can be part of an overall wellness routine. Â Red light treatment can be used to aid in faster healing, immune boosting, anti aging, mood enhancement, muscle recovery and more.
INSTRUMENT ASSISTED SOFT TISSUE MOBILIZATIONÂ
(IASTM)Â GRASTON TECHNIQUE
Graston Technique® (GT) therapy is successful in effectively treating all soft tissue conditions, whether they are chronic, acute or post- surgical. GT therapy can help you enjoy life again.
Our unique technique and instruments enable the treatment of scar tissue and fascial restrictions during rehabilitation that allows for faster rehabilitation and with greater success when the goal is restoring range of motion, eliminating pain, and restoring normal function.
CLAVITHERAPY
Clavitherapy is based on stimulation of peripheral nervous system with a tool called clavicle (from Latin - clavus "nail"). Clavicles improve nerve conduction via stimulating electrical impulse that reaches key structures of nervous system.
BREAST THERMOGRAPHY
Digital Infrated Imaging (Breast thermography) is based on detecting the heat produced by increased blood vessel circulation and metabolic changes associated with a tumor’s genesis and growth.
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Shockwave therapy is frequently used in physiotherapy, sports medicine, and orthopedics. It provides fast pain relief as well increased mobility. It is also used in urology for treatment of ED. Acoustic waves with high energy peak used in shockwave therapy interact with tissue providing accelerated tissue repair and cell growth, decrease in pain and mobility restoration.
MPS NEUROSTIM THERAPY
Microcurrent Point Stimulation is one of the most actively researched approaches in the broader field of electrotherapy.

​I’ve been involved with traditional healthcare since 1999. I graduated with Master's in Science from Medical University majoring in medical research.
After working for many years in a hospital setting I’ve decided to return back to school for a doctorate degree in Naprapathic Medicine. Working directly with patients and seeing almost immediate improvement brings me a great satisfaction.
I collaborate closely with medical doctors, ensuring patients receive the best medical attention allowing for the best possible outcome.

Our Mission
We want our patients to be partners in their own healing. We want them to understand how powerful their minds and bodies really are, and how each organ and symptom is part of a larger system. Healing chronic and intractable ailments takes a certain level of sensitivity, which we’ve honed to treat stubborn conditions with gentle methods.
