Chiropractic Specialist

What is your chiropractic philosophy?

At Loudoun Ideal Chiropractic, Dr. Miok practices chiropractic care that treats the whole person and the root causes of discomfort, not just the symptoms. Her chiropractic philosophy is deeply rooted in the Gonstead Concept, which emphasizes a full spinal and nerve analysis before beginning chiropractic adjustments. This approach recognizes that our spines are the foundation of our bodies functionality from daily movements to organ function down to the cellular level and that when the foundation is out of alignment disruption to everyday life and movement as we know it is often the result. 

Dr. Miok is also certified in Chiropractic BioPhysics®, the world’s leading chiropractic technique with a focus on optimal posture and spinal alignment.

Chiropractic care can be just one part of a holistic treatment plan, and Dr. Miok works with her patients to build out a plan to deal with the root cause of pain and help the body heal.

Depending on your needs, she can incorporate massage therapy, yoga or Pilates, and detox as well chiropractic care.

What is the Gonstead Concept?

The Gonstead Concept allows chiropractors trained in the technique and principles, like Dr. Miok, to recognize and correct misalignments in the spine. When using the Gonstead Concept, Dr. Miok begins with a complete and thorough analysis of the spine, using five criteria to identify misalignments within the vertebrae: visualization, instrumentation, static palpation, motion palpation, and X-ray analysis.

Once the analysis is complete, Dr. Miok has a complete picture of your spine and is ready to deliver precise, accurate adjustments directly to the cause of the problem. These adjustments are performed as comfortably as possible, and ensure that the individual vertebrae and abnormal curve of the spine are gradually able to return to their original and correct positions.

When the spine is out of alignment it affects the nervous system as well, which is why working toward a healthy spine is an important step toward achieving your optimal health, because the nervous system controls the function of the organs and tissue in the body.

What is Chiropractic BioPhysics?

Dr. Miok uses the Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) technique to perform spinal rehabilitation and postural correction. This technique is considered to be one of the most scientifically researched chiropractic methods and is considered a breakthrough therapy, highly successful in building ideal posture, ideal spine alignment, optimal function, and improved health.

Chiropractic BioPhysics is well respected for treating abnormal postures such as scoliosis, hunched back, tech-neck, and various other pains and discomforts in the body, and emphasizes an ideal spine curvature as an answer to both structural and functional problems of the body.
