Meet Dr. Michelle Hebert, Our Experienced Chiropractor
DC, MPH, CHt, E-RYT
As a chiropractic physician, Dr. Michelle Hebert DC is a primary care physician who performs examinations, analyzes the results of tests, diagnoses and treats patients for diseases and disorders of the spine, nervous system, joints of the body and the associated tissues. She also advises patients about methods of preventative healthcare (such as exercise and nutrition) for the aforementioned conditions and also for general health. Dr. Michelle uses non-invasive, gentle techniques that do not involve high force twisting or "cracking" of the neck or spine. These non-invasive techniques are very effective for treating pain and biomechanical dysfunction because they work on balancing the nervous system, relaxing the muscles, and gently aligning the body using body weight or instruments.

Dr. Michelle Hebert DC uses several gentle, yet effective methods to treat the spine, joints, extremities and entire nervous system. The techniques she uses involve no high force twisting or "bone cracking", yet are very effective because they work on balancing the nervous system, relaxing the muscles, and gently aligning the body using body weight or instruments. During the course of the treatment, she may also use the treatment options below:
TREATMENT OPTIONS
Based on your exam findings, Dr. Michelle Hebert DC will recommend one or more of the following treatments:
Applied Kinesiology for TMJ, Craniosacral and Manual Therapy: Applied Kinesiology is a clinical method of testing muscles to determine and treat the precise issues and areas of imbalance in the musculoskeletal and nervous system.
Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) with Pelvic Blocks: A comfortable technique that uses air-filled blocks under the hips to provide gentle unwinding of torsion and tension through the spine and body. SOT is very effective in treating low back pain, sciatica, and sacroiliac programs. Because the pelvis is the foundation of the spine and cranium, this technique can also help other areas such as the neck and shoulders, headaches, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders (TMD), as well as knee, ankle, and foot issues.
Orthotics and Orthotic Shoes: Feet are the foundation of the body and affect the alignment and biomechanical functioning of the rest of the body. Dr. Hebert DC both prescribes and dispenses Foot Levelers high quality custom orthotics and orthotic shoes. Orthotics can help with a wide range of conditions including low back pain, hip pain, knee pain, sciatica, achilles tendonitis, and foot pain conditions such as plantar fasciitis. Read more at https://www.footlevelers.com/how-we-can-help Due to the importance of the feet in overall body health and musculoskeletal function, Dr. Hebert DC includes a cutting edge laser technology foot scan with each exam and an instant report on the postural imbalances and asymmetries associated with the individual's scan.
Activator or Arthrostim Instrument Adjusting: These instruments allow for a very precise spine and joint treatment that does not require the twisting of the patient's body or high force manual pressure.
Supportive Nutrition: The proper amount and type of minerals and nutrients can be a crucial factor in the healing process and for maintaining good health. Dr. Hebert DC may prescribe nutrition that is specific for your condition, for prevention, or for general health.
Percussor Myofascial Treatment: Use of a hand-held mechanical adjustment/therapy device that applies a unique “Galvanic Wave” into the muscles and fascia. This technique is especially helpful for iliotibial band syndrome and myofasical pain syndrome, but is also effective with releasing tightness and spasms throughout other areas of the musculoskeletal system.
Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM): A safe, painless, low amplitude electrical current set to specific frequencies that encourages natural healing of the body, a softening of tight or spasming muscles, and reduction of pain. One of the ways FSM works is by increasing the amount of ATP production within the cells. ATP is a major source of energy that fuels cellular healing and repair. FSM has a broad therapeutic potential for a wide variety of musculoskeletal, nerve, and joint conditions and is best used for speeding the healing process and improving pain.
