at Simply Chiropractic

doctor adjusting patients neckAt Simply Chiropractic, we are committed to providing the most up-to-date, scientifically based approach to care that is tailored to each patient’s unique needs and goals. Offering care for kids through seniors and weekend warriors through elite athletes, one of the things that sets us apart is our chiropractor Dr Daniel Shepherd’s emphasis on Advanced Muscular Integration Technique (A.M.I.T.).

This cutting-edge technique was pioneered by chiropractor Dr Craig Buhler in the United States, and Daniel trained directly with Dr Buhler and continues to work with him to advance the use of A.M.I.T. throughout the UK.

What Is It?

A.M.I.T. works to identify muscles that are proprioceptively aberrant or weakened, as a result of injury, lack of use or the general wear and tear of daily life. Focused on the Myofascial attachments and divisions within the muscles and muscle groups, this advanced system offers a highly precise approach to locating weaknesses or imbalance in your musculoskeletal system.

Once the root cause of the problem is identified, a specific protocol is used to ‘activate’ the inhibited muscles. This is important because when a muscle is inhibited, it causes the muscles around it to work harder and in ways they’re not intended to work­—and that causes reduced function, pain and other symptoms.

What Are the Benefits?

Pain is the body’s alarm system, alerting us to the fact that something isn’t right. A.M.I.T. works to reset the muscles, taking pressure off the muscles to relieve pain. In addition, properly firing muscles can help prevent future injuries by ensuring that no muscles are inhibited and they are not overloaded.

Re-Exams

This system of care includes periodic re-exams to determine if your body has ‘held’ the treatment. We recommend regular maintenance care to ensure the proper function of your musculoskeletal system and to help us address issues before they lead to injury or dysfunction.

Although this care method is often used for elite athletes, you don’t have to be a professional footballer to benefit! Everyday mums, dads and kids can experience this same cutting-edge care and its benefits in their lives.
