Cedar Lake, IN Drs and Health Practioners

As beams of sunlight brighten the waiting room's leather chairs and hanging black-and-white photographs, Advanced Dental Care's staff of experienced tooth-tenders illuminates smiles within a clean, modern dental office. Dr. Khaghani and her cuspid-cleaning cohorts specialize in everything from general dentistry and Invisalign braces to whitening teeth, making smiles bright enough to stand in for the local lighthouse.

Experience Chiropractic uses NASA certified technology to identify and treat a wide range of aliments, including back problems, migraines, asthma, allergies, and sleep difficulties. They use a spinal rehabilitation technique with x-rays that diagnose and track problems effectively. The practice also houses an aqua massage, dry hydrotherapy machine that pulses 36 water jets onto patients to help with stress and pain relief.

Gold Coast Wellness brings both traditional and alternative healing under one roof. But whether a treatment plan involves chiropractic services, physical therapy, rehabilitation, or massage therapy, the center’s staff of physicians and medical professionals follows through with the aid of modern technology, from x-rays for diagnosis to X-wing fighters for defending the airspace over the clinic.

The staff shies away from what they call “ornamental aesthetics,” forgoing soothing music in favor of medical-grade techniques. But the office does hang local artists' paintings and photos on the walls to help guests take their minds off stiff necks and achy muscles. And to prevent mental strain and physical “darn it”-saying, the center provides online scheduling and complimentary valet parking.

As the founder and director of Balanced Body Integrated Wellness, Dr. Jee H. Kim is both a practicing professional and a perpetual student. He constantly seeks out new information about his fields of expertise—chiropractic and acupuncture—in continuing-education courses. He then incorporates this information in treatments that draw partly from Western chiropractic medicine and physiotherapy and partly from holistic Eastern therapies.

Dr. Kim shares his peaceful studio with a massage therapist and a cadre of yoga instructors. This team works with him to restore balance to muscles and energy fields through therapeutic kneading, graceful postures, and precarious tightropes.

Dr. Andrew Gard returns wavering vertebrae to alignment at Nova Spinal Care by incorporating his chiropractic expertise into nutritional counseling, massage therapy, and other methods that work together to maintain physical health. The clinic's holistic approach to revitalizing bodies allows the staff to search for underlying causes of physical discomfort, such as past injuries or swallowed handcuff keys, and adjust treatments to each client's problem areas.
