Taking A Natural Systemic Approach To Health
Chiropractic is an overall way of looking at the human body as self-sustaining and self-healing. The brain controls the body via its connection to the spinal cord and its vast networks of nerves that make up the body.
When the nervous system is not functioning at its peak, the overall performance of the human body is lacking.
In chiropractic sciences, prescription drugs and surgeries are not used to treat patients. Nutrition and supplements are almost always a part of the bigger picture.
However, prescription drugs can sometimes be viewed as band-aids used to cover up the real problem and treat symptoms rather than the underlying problem or its root causes.
It’s often perceived that the chiropractor is solely here to treat neck and back pain. This is simply a small piece of what the profession can handle.
Chiropractors are licensed to treat Subluxations. Subluxations are misalignments of the spinal vertebrae. Subluxations left untreated can lead to spinal nerve impingement, degenerative joint disease, degenerative disc disease, organ failure, and even early death.
We ascribe to the idea that
‘Prevention is Better than Cure’ and, that pursuing your Optimal Health is the KEY to achieving Balance, Wellness and the Highest Quality of LIFE.
‘Chiropractic care is more than just making the pain disappear. It is about learning, understanding and taking care of your body to improve your quality of life.’
Finding a chiropractor who understands changing health care needs and the most current techniques and approaches to addressing health problems can be a daunting task.
We hope that you will find this site helpful in learning more about our gentle chiropractic care as well as the ways that it can improve the quality of your life.

At Optimal Life Chiropractic
Your first visit is one of the most important visits you will have.
Dr. Burton and our staff will spend considerable time answering any questions you may have.
We want to know about you, your past medical history, your chief complaint and, perform a comprehensive spinal exam.
Also, to discuss briefly that-
The Brain controls every single function in our body.
A Subluxation is a minor misalignment of spinal and extremity joints.
If left untreated, Subluxations can become the root cause of many of your health problems.
Dynamic Cervical Traction
The Pettibon Systems Equipment is both transportable and affordable. Dr. Burton will implement these patented cervical decompression exercises to stabilize the spine in the final phase of care.
The Pettibon System exercises will aid in correcting the cervical spine curve while decreasing the number of visits between necessary adjustments.
Manual Therapy applied to soft tissues will improve patient conditions and outcomes and reduce muscle hypertonicity, spinal joint inflammation, and spinal nerve pain. Furthermore, it allows the muscles to relax, break up myofascial adhesions, and increase blood flow to injured tissues.
Mechanical Traction is applied to decompress spinal joints and relieve pinched nerves as they exit the spinal column to supply the rest of the body.
Dynamic Lumbar Stabilization
We teach our patients The Pettibon System
for lumbar spine stabilization by using
The Wobble Chair.
These patented lumbar exercises help to restore healthy lumbar spinal curves, thereby preventing degenerative joint disease and degenerative disc disease, and osteoarthritis, to name a few.
These are just a few of the various Physio-Therapeutic procedures we provide at Optimal Life Chiropractic of Anaconda, MT.
