Dr. Tamara Santa Ana:

Chiropractic Physician
Dr. Santa Ana has been practicing Chiropractic and Nutrition since 1985. Her technique is oriented toward the individual. Some patients need or desire a firm adjustive technique, while others prefer a lighter technique. you will be evaluated according to your needs. Dr Santa Ana frequently employs stretching and muscle techniques. Many patients love the application of the ARTHROSTIM. This feels like a 'mini' double woodpecker playing on your spine. And, for the well-behaved patient, treatment often ends with a 'treat'. This a a relaxing brief motorized massage to help move the spinal lymph fluid and let the patient know that the spinal correction has been made.

Chiropractic is so very important. Our nervous system is dramatically related to our spinal health. One of the main ways that a  spine remains healthy is to remove toxic by-products and distribute nutrients as needed. Fixation of spinal segments will create a situation in which spinal degeneration can be accelerated. Find out for yourself how adjusting the spine may dramatically improve your health. Ask for our spinal handout.

Dr. Santa Ana is very experienced in the specific care required for traumatic injuries that have been chronic. In her large Southern California practice she saw hundreds of industrial and motor vehicle related injuries. Although she practices family care, she has a special interest in neck and shoulder pain, as well as low back issues and pain. She does not rush a patient into radiographic procedures unnecessarily. Sometimes diagnostic films or an MRI are necessary and will be ordered.

Evaluation of the spine and pelvis necessitates an evaluation of the arches of the feet. Even a small arch deficiency may contribute to a large pelvis imbalance. Dr. Santa Ana utilizes a state-of-the-art foot scanner to determine if foundational foot issues need correction. These scans are used to create a prescription for custom orthotics, which will aid in spinal stabilizations. Many patients require less on-going chiropractic care when orthotics are utilized. Schedule with the staff to get your own color copy of your weight-bearing foot issues.

Physical therapy is also utilized if necessary. We have several types available in the clinic. These include mechanical traction, trigger point therapy, ultrasound, galvanic current and thirty other types of currents. Hot and cold packs may be tuilized, as well as Dr. TAS's favorite: the LIGHT BEAM GENERATOR. Ask for our Light Beam Generator brochure or click on this link: www.lightbeamgenerator.com
