We are a multi-practitioner health center that has 2 Licensed chiropractors, 3 massage Therapist and 1 Acupunturist. Our office is located in the heart of napa Valley's premier wine making region and we are primarily a wellness based practice. We have also been treating injured workers and automobile whiplash injuries for over 30 years. We offer same day appointments and after hours appointments whenever possible, to accomodate the large tourist industry in the area. We do bill most insurance companies as a courtesy as well billing help for work injuries and auto accident victims. 99% of all auto accident patients never pay for any of our services if there is an insurance company involved. We are open 5 days a week and have practiced for 30 combined years, using many safe, gentle and very effective techniques.

We are a husband/wife Chiropractic Team specializing in Activator Methods and Blair Upper Cervical Chiro. We have both been severely head-injured and our recovery has shaped our practice style and understanding of Chiropractic. We approach all problems with Activator as the first line of defense. For the small percentage that are severely traumatic or chronic, we have a special pulsed fluouroscopy x-ray system that can give us the information we need while putting a vanishingly small dose of radiation into the patient. Our appointments are approximately 1/2 hour to allow us to do the massage, trigger point and exercise work necessary.

My mission is to help as many people as I can to get well and stay well by addressing three causes of ill health. Trauma caused by falls and accidents that occurred in the past, which can cause undetected and long-lasting damage not just to muscles but also to nerves as well. nerves control all functions in the body, and if they are not working properly, neither will your body. Second, we have stress which everyone experiences in life. Prolonged stress leads to hormone imbalances related to the stress glands of the body known as the adrenal glands. These glands secrete hormones that control sleep,k digestion, weight gain, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, allergies, arthritis, immunity, heart function, fatigue, etc. Theses glands can be checked and if malfunctioning, they can be repaired through diet and supplements. The third factor in illness is pollution of our water, food, and air. The US rates 48th in Life expctancy. We are on the bottom of the list despite all the drugs we take. there are 82,000 chemicals that can enter your body weekly. To defend against them your body surrounds them in fat. Through a revolutionary nutritional cleansing program you can rapidly reduce these chemicals, lose weight if you need to, and feel great. The average weight loss is 7 lbs in 9 days, but the program goes way beyond weight loss. I do laboratory analysis and nutritional consultation as well as head to toe body work. My specialty is the Upper Cervical (Blair Chiropractic) work. If you've had Chiropractic - although it is wonderful when done correctly - The Upper Cervical care changed my life by getting me off all pain medications, asthma inhalers, and allergy shots. It is my hope to serve those who are desiring a positive life change towards optimal health.

I have been in practice for 23 years. I have a sub-specialty of headache relief. I am also proficient in the treatment of auto accidents and sports injuries. I have personal interest in treating low back pain as a result of disc bulges and herniations, using distraction therapy and cold laser. I offer free consultations and free finance is available.

At birth we are born perfect, that is all muscles are completely balanced, all nerves are normal, and all organs and tissues function at 100 %. As a result of this, we also have perfect posture with level hips, shoulders, and a level head. This is present until we are subject to some type of stress beyond what our body can adapt to. It is important to mention that for each muscle pulling in one direction in our body, there is a muscle on the other side pulling exactly the opposite way. In other words, all muscles are counter-balanced. If one muscle pulls with 90 pounds of pressure, then the muscle that opposes it also must pull with 90 pounds of pressure. As long as all muscles are balanced, we have good posture and our spine is held erect in its normal position. However, if a muscle becomes blocked today, say perhaps in the lower part of your spine, you will not feel any symptoms. But now, the muscle that normally balances the blocked muscle will begin to pull harder until one day it will be under such severe stress that it will pull a part of the spine that it attaches to out of place. When the vertebrae go out of place, the nerve gets irritated. Now there develops a loss of function in the tissues that the irritated nerve supplies and the body resistance is lowered and disease can occur. Now, muscles get blocked and turned off for many reasons. It can be due to the cranial stress centers on the skull being turned off. It can be due to cranial bones being jammed, vertebrae out of place, and even bones jammed in our feet. All of the different testing that Dr. Prins does is to find what is turning the muscles and systems off and correct it. As the muscles are turned on again, the spine is balanced and posture returns to normal. The treatment of Dr. Prins actually consists of the following: 1. Adjusting the misaligned vertebrae back into place that were pulled out by the muscle imbalance. 2. The ligaments that help hold the vertebrae in place must return to normal, and regain their holding power. 3. Many different tests all over the body, especially the head, must be performed, in order to turn all the muscles and systems on again.
