Healthy Spine Family Chiropractic provides a variety of personalized chiropractic services in Thornton, Colorado to help mitigate your aches and injuries. The practice was created for the necessity of custom made chiropractic treatment for all ages, and it is dedicated to helping people progress toward optimal health and well-being. The team understands that not all bodies are the same, so your chiropractic treatment is tailored to you. Their stated goal is to find the root cause of your pain and health problems, using a safe and gentle treatment approach without the use of drugs. This is a multi disciplinary office: alongside chiropractic care, Healthy Spine provides physical therapy, acupuncture and massage under one roof. Chiropractic care uses advanced, comprehensive techniques intended to relieve neck and back pain, improve function, and repair the damage rather than only quiet the symptoms. The techniques used include Graston, Thompson, Activator, chiropractic adjustment, flexion-distraction and diversified. The office also now offers Pulstar Musculoskeletal Innovation, a computer-precision multiple impulse therapy that is clinically proven and uses a pain-free analysis. Pulstar eliminates the cracking, popping and twisting that is often expected with chiropractic treatments, and the practice describes it as a gentle, safe and effective procedure that can treat headache, joint pain and stiffness, neck and back pain, and muscle spasms. Treatment begins with an analysis using the Pulstar machine head, which sends gentle impulses along the spine to report muscle tightness or vertebrae dysfunction and shows the doctor which areas need adjustment. Corrective massage therapy is delivered by licensed massage therapy specialists, and the practice offers sport, trigger point, myofascial release and deep tissue massage depending on your symptoms, with benefits including easing of muscle tension, increased circulation, relief from headaches and treatment of muscular and joint injuries. Acupuncture, cupping and Chinese herbal treatments round out a natural, holistic approach to health care for Thornton and the surrounding communities. Patients hurt in a car accident in Thornton are a regular part of the caseload. Care is delivered by Dr. Osvaldo "Ozzie" Gratacos, a licensed chiropractor serving Thornton and the surrounding communities. Dr. Gratacos graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Florida, then returned home to Puerto Rico to open a practice for four years before practicing in Lakewood, Colorado. He is bilingual in Spanish and English, is certified in extremity adjustments, treatment in golf related injuries, and the Cox technique for herniated disc, and is a member of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Denver. His approach is to treat the whole body as one and to find the underlying cause of the problem, providing a faster recovery so patients can continue with their active lifestyle. The practice has built a reputation as a reliable, safe health provider over more than ten years.
