A procedure in which trained specialist use their hands or a small instrument to apply a controlled, sudden force to a spinal joint. The goal of chiropractic adjustment is to correct structural alignment and improve your body’s physical function.

The chiropractic approach to health care is holistic, stressing the patient’s overall health and wellness. They seek the cause of pain and dysfunction rather than the elimination of symptoms. Chiropractors provide natural, drugless, non-surgical health treatments and rely on the bodies inherent recuperative abilities.

Spinal Decompression Therapy involves stretching the spine, using a traction table or similar motorized device, with the goal of relieving back pain and/or leg pain. This procedure is called nonsurgical decompression therapy (as opposed to surgical spinal decompression, such as laminectomy and microdiscectomy) to apply significant distractive forces to the spine in variable directions creating a negative pressure in the center of the intervertebral disc. This creates a suctioning effect or vacuum phenomenon in order to retract and reduce the size of a herniated or bulging disc’s gelatinous internal nucleus pulposus, thus eliminating or decreasing significantly nerve compression. This will also create an osmotic gradient which helps bring nutrients, oxygen and water into the disc, thus stimulating the healing process. Since intervertebral discs have poor circulation, they depend upon receiving their nutrition through diffusion. Treatment may last 30 to 45 minutes and you may require 20 to 28 treatments over five to seven weeks.

Shockwave is an acoustic wave which carries high energy to myoskeletal tissues with subacute, subchronic and chronic conditions. The energy promotes regeneration and reparative process of the bones, tendons and other soft tissues.

The kinetic energy of the projectile, created by compressed air, is transferred to the transmitter at the end of the applicator and further into the tissue.

Acoustic waves with high energy peak used in shockwave therapy interact with tissue causing overall medical effects of accelerated tissue repair and cell growth, analgesia and mobility restoration. All the processes mentioned in this section are typically employed simultaneously and are used to treat chronic, sub-acute and acute conditions.

Tendons and ligaments. Tendons connect muscles to bone and ligaments connect bone to bone. Injury to either can cause pain and decrease range of motion.

According to Pettibon, the Y Strap corrects “kinks” in the epi-pia collagen network. The Y-Strap adjustment works by stretching the spine pulling the head in the Y-Axis of the body. This pulling force generates a decompression in the vertebral discs. The force applied can have a different speed and force patterns: From a slow and smooth stretching motion to a HVLA (High Velocity, Low Amplitude) Movement. This HVLA procedure generates a swift vacuum within the vertebrae discs that enables nutrients to flow into the discs. The advantage is using the Y-Strap chiropractic technique is a straight angle and non-existent torsion of the procedure to treat a patient of spinal compression and disc problems

Physical therapy or physiotherapy (sometimes abbreviated to PT) is the remediation of impairment and disabilities and the promotion of mobility, functional ability, quality of life and movement potential through the methods of neuromuscular re-education, therapeutic exercises, and other musculoskeletal modalities.

An IASTM is a tool to effectively detect and break soft tissue adhesions, scar tissue, and altered connective tissue to increase blood flow, increase range of motion, promote healing, and increase cellular activity in the region.

Licensed Massage Therapists (or LMT’s as they’re often referred to) are practitioners that provide soft tissue manipulation to treat pain and injury. The types of massage therapy range widely but are often an appointment that ranges anywhere from 30-90 minutes where in the patient will receive a massage to relieve tension, pain, and improve mobility. BODY DETOX’s LMTs focus primarily on enabling active lifestyles as a whole and are more targeted in service offerings, which include:

BODY DETOX’s massage therapists offer active treatments to help active patients move well and feel prepared for any activity. This means prioritizing injury treatment and rehabilitation over relaxation. BODY DETOX massage therapy flips the conventional approach on its head to address the specific needs of active patients. Therapists work in conjunction with other BODY DETOX’s practitioners to create accelerated recovery. We help patients make the best use of their appointments to create real, lasting results.

At BODY DETOX, our GOAL is to get you close to 100% in the shortest amount of time possible. We want rehabilitation to include PREVENTION in order to avoid rehabilitation.

Dr. Lam is awesome! Friendly, Professional, and his work as changed my life in just two visits. I have chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain that has lasted for over a year. I finally decided to see a chiropractor, and I am so glad I chose this location. After the first visit, my entire body felt more relaxed, at peace, and I was able to get a good nights rest. After only 2 visits I feel so good that I have been able to resume normal at home activities, and I feel motivated more than ever to get my physical health on track! I recommend this location, and Dr. Lam! Thank you so much!

A huge thank you to Dr. Lam !! Everyone from the front desk staff to the attentiveness of Dr. Lam, is truly outstanding. I walked out feeling like a different person. He's gentle yet affective, I highly recommend him. Personable and kind. Thank you again Dr. Lam. Oh and btw, my first ever adjustment- simply life changing! Without hesitation, I'd recommend Dr. Lam.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lam is a phenomenal chiropractor. I’ve been to dozens of different chiropractors before coming to him and none of them have met my needs the way he has. He actively listens to his patients and assesses each issue with the best care he can offer. I leave his office feeling like my best relaxed self. Body Detox also has an amazing massage therapist, Vanessa. Works with each muscle accordingly and always makes sure her patients are comfortable. I definitely recommend Body Detox if your looking for a reliable chiropractor or just a quick relaxing adjustment

Fantastic experience: Literally the best chiropractor you can visit. Rates are affordable and care is premium. The doctors are by far amazing at what they do. In addition to that, the office staff brittany and candace are great with making appointments during tight scheduling. To top it all off, the wait times are rarely ever longer than a few minutes. Love this place and mostly importantly the people!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lam and his staff are great!! They really make you feel comfortable and relaxed every time you visit. Dr. Lam is very thorough in his exam and his treatment. I definitely recommend him to anybody that has any back pain no matter the pain level. His prices are very reasonable and it is well worth it.

Fantastic experience: I work 50 hours a week in front of a computer screen. My neck and lower back are extremely stiff after a full week. I went and saw Dr. Tsu to help me take the stiffness out of my neck and back. After one visit he was able to get all the knots out. He was very informative and advise me to do small stretches through the work day. I’ve taken his advice and have been to work with out any pain. I’m definitely going to be frequent visitor to Body Detox. Thanks Dr. Tsu

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lam’s chiropractic techniques stand out from any chiropractor I’ve been to in the past. Sitting in front of a computer all day for work has resulted in immense pain in my back and neck, and one visit to him made all the pain go away. For my first visit, he conducted a detailed examination prior to treatment. He then put me on the roller bed and did a hands on stretch and treatment. I immediately felt relief after my first session, and I look forward to returning on a weekly basis. Reasonable cash price, and they take insurance. They have a huge parking lot, so you don’t have to stress about parking. Located in a plaza right across from the DMV, you cant miss it!

Fantastic experience: My experience and chiro visit with Dr. Lam was fantastic!! I'm not from the area and unfortunately aggravated my back visiting. While searching for help to get an adjustment or some kind of relief, I was blessed to have crossed paths with Dr. Lam. He is extremely knowledgeable, receptive, and listens to your concerns/needs using specific methods mechanical and holistic to help treat/relieve pained areas. He gets your "quality of life" back. His moral principle and ethical values as a chiropractor are what will make himself and his practice go far. I wasn't just another number or $$ walking through his door, but someone he wanted to make a difference to. Thank you, Dr. Lam, for your excellence and the awesome quality of service you provide to help change people's lives!! Do I recommend him? Yes, definitely! Booking online for an appointment at BodyDetox was a simple and easy process. The office could easily be found with ample parking and a spot for the disabled is available. Staff at the front desk was pleasant, friendly, and accommodating during check-in. Thumbs up to her!

Fantastic experience: Where do I even start? Dr. Lam and his staff were amazing! His staff were very accommodating and Dr. Lam’s chiropractic service was outstanding! I was referred to Dr. Lam by a friend who recommended me to see him. I was having issues on my neck and back due to wrong sleeping position and knot build up from exercising throughout the years. Dr. Lam was very kind to squeeze me in his busy schedule. It was my first appointment with Dr. Lam and when I first met him, he was very professional and easy going to talk to. He is very knowledgeable in his professional field. When you meet him, you already have the impression that he genuinely and truly cares about his patients and their health. The first thing we did was he evaluated and assessed me before proceeding to any treatments or adjustments. Once I was properly evaluated and assessed, we started the shockwave therapy, which was my first time experience. Then we proceeded to a certain type of muscle therapy where he was massaging and loosening my knots and my other tight muscles. I was highly surprised and impressed with his techniques! There were knots and tight muscles that I never knew I had until the treatment! After the muscle therapy, Dr. Lam began the adjustments. Boy, let me tell you, his adjustments are out of this world! There was a moment where I didn’t even know what to do with my body because of the adjustment he made on me. It just felt so good to hear those adjustments sounds! After the treatment, my mobility and movement were so much better! My body felt brand new! I would highly recommend this place if you need any treatment for your body! I would definitely come back again! Thank you Dr. Lam and staff for your excellent service!

Fantastic experience: In short, Dr. Lam is amazing!!! I have back pain issues for over 15 years and have received Chiropractic treatments from a handful of doctors during that time. What sets Dr. Lam on a higher pedestal from other doctors I've seen is his mechanical technique on muscles which allows for a better and easier adjustment. He takes his time looking for the problem areas and finding a way to relieve the pain. For my first appointment, he took his time listening to all my complaints and concerns. I'm always hesitant about seeing a new practitioner and being disappointed but that was NOT the case with Dr. Lam. He addressed all my concerns and MORE! He explained body mechanics and how one thing can gravely affect another. It's almost like having a Physical Therapist and a Chiropractor! My subsequent visits have been amazing as well, so I know he is consistent with his work and services. Since finding Dr. Lam, I've recommended him to family members. My husband and I are now regulars and we are so glad we found him!
