Care That Starts With Listening

At Allied Healthcare, every plan starts with your story. We take your word for how you describe your symptoms, and we never dismiss what you feel. Pain is real even when a scan looks normal, and the person living in the body is the best source of information about it.

From there, our team of chiropractic, physical therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, neurofeedback and functional medicine providers builds one integrated, patient-centered plan. Nobody is built the same or has been through the same things, so no two plans are alike.

The Six Principles Behind Every Plan

1. Restore the Movements You Use Every Day

Progress has to show up in your real life, not just on the treatment table. We retrain the exact movements you need: getting out of bed, lifting a grandchild, turning to check a blind spot, swinging a golf club or standing through a work shift.

2. Constant Core Activation

The deep core muscles, especially the transverse abdominis, stabilize the spine and pelvis during every movement. We teach you to activate them, often using biofeedback tools, and then to keep them working while you walk, lift, rotate and reach.

3. Proper Functional Movement Patterns

We coach how you hinge, squat, push, pull, carry, step and rotate. When the whole body shares the load, one joint or muscle stops taking all the strain, and pain is far less likely to come back.

4. Proper Respiratory Mechanics

Breathing is a movement pattern too. Shallow, chest-driven breathing overworks the neck and shoulders, weakens core stability and keeps the nervous system on alert. We retrain diaphragmatic breathing as part of almost every plan.

5. Find the Cause, Not Just the Symptom

With severe and chronic conditions especially, we take the time to consider every potential cause. Foot pain may start at the hip, back pain may start at the feet, and headaches may come from the neck, the jaw, breathing or stress. We look at movement, past injuries, sleep, nutrition, stress and work demands, and we refer for imaging or medical care when that is the right next step.

6. One Integrated Team, One Plan

Your providers communicate and share one plan, so every visit builds on the last. Chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, neurofeedback and nutrition support are combined around your goals instead of working in isolation.

Why We Practice This Way

Dr. Joshua Vickers, D.C., owner of Allied Healthcare, knows recovery from the inside. In 2010 he fractured his right humerus, which caused nerve damage and a complete loss of strength and sensation in the arm for six months. Living through that recovery showed him how much an injury affects every part of life, and how much it matters to be heard, believed and given a plan that fits. Meet Dr. Vickers.

What This Looks Like in Real Life

Your First Visit

  1. We listen. Your history, your symptoms in your words and your goals.
  2. We examine. Joints, muscles, nerves, breathing and how you actually move.
  3. We explain. What we found, what we think is driving it and what we recommend.
  4. We plan together. Which services, how often and what progress should look like.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Allied approach different?

Most care focuses on the painful spot. We look at how your whole body moves, breathes and stabilizes, take time to find every cause, and coordinate several specialties around one plan that is built for you.

Do you always adjust the spine?

No. Spinal manipulation is one tool among many. Some patients never need it, and we never use a technique you aren't comfortable with.

How long is a first visit?

Long enough to hear your full story and examine you properly. We would rather spend the time up front than guess.

Do I have to use every service?

No. Most plans combine two or more services, chosen together with you based on what will help most.

Do you take insurance?

We accept health insurance as an out-of-network provider, auto insurance claims, workers comp claims. Every service can also be paid directly or through a monthly membership.
