Etio Chiropractic is a neurologically based chiropractic office at 3586 Hartsel Drive Suite E in north Colorado Springs, where the practice combines a welcoming environment with current chiropractic techniques and technology. The name refers to the cause, set of causes, or manner of causation of a disease or condition, and the stated mission is to remove interference from the body so it can express the perfection within. Dr. Kent Daavettila and his wife Kathleen were inspired to start the practice after Dr. Kent experienced the results of neurologically based chiropractic care himself. It took Kathleen two years to convince him to be evaluated in a chiropractic office, and the two are now on a mission to help as many people as possible reach their health potential. What sets the office apart, in its own words, is care delivered without twisting, cracking or popping. The doctors hold Certified Advanced Proficiency in the Torque Release Technique, and the clinic states it is the only chiropractic office in Colorado Springs with that advanced proficiency. The technique was designed out of a double blinded, placebo controlled study at the University of Miami school of medicine and uses the Integrator, an FDA approved adjusting instrument that fires in one ten thousandth of a second and discharges automatically once a predetermined contact pressure is reached. Because the spine is adjusted in a relaxed, neutral position with pinpoint accuracy and minimal force, patients of any age can be adjusted gently. The office sets a standard of objective evaluation both before and after care, so patients can see structural change in the spine and not only feel it. Dr. Kent brings a background in biomedical engineering to a systematic approach to care, and all of the doctors are certified in Webster's technique for prenatal patients. Dr. Grace Gilbreath is the practice's Perinatal Certified Chiropractor. Beyond adjustments the office offers spinal decompression, shockwave therapy and a drug-free, non-surgical peripheral neuropathy program, and it addresses back pain, neck pain, headaches and migraines, sciatica, scoliosis, disc injury, whiplash, work and personal injury, shoulder pain, carpal tunnel, vertigo and athletic performance. A $49 new patient special offer covers a complete consultation, a doctor's evaluation, any special neurological diagnostic testing, range of motion, any necessary postural x-rays, and a doctor's report of findings, so new patients know what the first visit includes before they book. The office says a first visit runs about an hour and that later visits aim to have you adjusted and on your way in twenty minutes or less. The clinic is on the north side of Woodman Road in the King Soopers shopping plaza, with Lexington and Rangewood as the Woodman crossroads.
