Our Services Set Us Apart
At Bodywise Chiropractic we know that our patient's needs are of the utmost importance. Our entire team is committed to meeting those needs. As a result, a high percentage of our business is from repeat customers and referrals.
We offer a variety of state-of-the-art healing modalities. It would be our pleasure to put our extensive experience to work for you.
Chiropractic Care
We perform gentle hands-on adjusting for adults and children to correct fixations and misalignment of the spine and extremities. Flexion-distraction, Thompson Drop Technique, and Diversified Technique are all utilized in our office. We also use a variety of muscle treatments including ultrasound, electric stimulation, and intersegmental traction.
We provide advanced spinal correction and chiropractic adjustments utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic care have chiropractors been able to provide the level of help and expertise that is available today. Many of the newest chiropractic techniques are actually safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a chiropractor who cares about utilizing the most advanced chiropractic techniques, Dr. Laura Gardiner has years of training, expertise and experience in helping patients get pain relief for back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other related conditions originating from the spine. Chiropractic care under a trained professional can even be used to prevent injuries and help you achieve total health or wellness.
Supportive Modalities
We use a variety of proven techniques in addition to Chiropractic adjustments. These will most frequently include Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) to reduce pain from tight and sore muscles, Ultrasound to reduce inflammation quickly, and Intersegmental Spinal Traction with a Roller Table. These techniques will significantly augment the results of your care.
Graston Technique
Graston Technique® is an innovative form of instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to break down scar tissue and connective tissue restrictions. The technique utilizes specially designed stainless steel instruments to detect and treat areas exhibiting soft-tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation.
Corrective Exercises
At BodyWise Chiropractic, we teach our patients how to perform special "blueprint" exercises which can help strengthen and correct the irregularities in their body which may be causing pain. Many of these corrective exercises can actually be performed in the comfort of your own home to help improve the effectiveness of your chiropractic care and spinal correction plan. In addition to skeletal misalignment, you may be experiencing pain that is caused by muscles and connective tissues which are out of their proper place. Other types of pain such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches are caused by muscles and tissues that are being used improperly, causing injuries over time. In each case, targeted corrective exercises and stretches from our experienced chiropractor will help you feel good while also helping your body achieve balance and health.
Lifestyle Advice
Many of our patients come to see our chiropractor to address a specific pain symptom such as back pain, neck pain or headaches. While our chiropractor will address each patient's specific condition with chiropractic care, we often find it helpful to "coach" our patients towards achieving a healthier lifestyle. For example, there may be certain activities that you should avoid or do differently to prevent yourself from unintentionally aggravating your particular health challenges. The goal of including lifestyle advice with a chiropractic care plan is to help each and every patient achieve the fulfilling and happy lifestyle they deserve, one that is full of the activities that are enjoyed most. We recognize that every single one of our patients is a whole person, and we use our expertise to help them reach total health and wellness.
Nutritional Counseling
What does nutrition have to do with chiropractic care? The goal of chiropractic care is to help patients achieve total health and balance with their body, and as part of that goal we provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices. Nutritional counseling by our experienced chiropractic health professionals can assist a patient on their return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another? At our Redmond chiropractic clinic, we can provide each patient with a structured nutritional program that is based on their individual needs.
Massage Therapy is the manual manipulation and treatment of soft body tissues (muscle, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments) to enhance a person's health and well-being.
The benefits of therapeutic massage include relief from aches and pains, and the release of chronic tension due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Massage therapy also promotes greater flexibility and enhanced mental clarity.
At Bodywise Chiropractic, you may request a deep tissue massage, or a more relaxing Swedish massage. Each session is personalized to your specific needs and preferences.

Massage Therapy
Massage therapy does more than make you feel good, it can actually help your body achieve balance and health. Massage therapy offers a natural treatment approach which actually relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. Our chiropractic office provides specific massage and muscular therapy that is complimentary to their chiropractic care. Each massage therapy plan is tailored to meet the patient's unique pain condition or injury. The benefits of massage therapy may include the increase of blood circulation, a localized reduction in swelling and the relaxation of muscles. Massage has been known to relieve muscle pain and spasms, increase a patient's range of motion, while also aiding in a patient's recovery. Some investigative studies have even indicated that a single session of massage may help boost your immune system!
