Understanding Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is a type of health care that works with the nervous system as well as the musculoskeletal system. Doctors of chiropractic are trained to diagnose and treat injuries and disorders that involve the nervous system, muscles and bones. Chiropractors in Boise work directly with the spine to remove any interference that may be preventing the body to heal itself and to restore natural processes within the body. Like all other areas in health care, new patients will undergo a consultation that reviews past and current health conditions, medications and surgeries as well as a physical examination. The examination process includes computerized testing to assess the function of the sympathetic nerves. These nerves regulate body functions and pain. We also perform computerized range of motion tests to measure the movement of the spine. Once this process is completed, we will use all of the information to create an individualized treatment plan.
Chiropractic is not limited to people suffering from back pain. There are a myriad of different conditions that chiropractic care has been shown to be helpful for including neck pain, migraine headaches, pain between the shoulders, carpal tunnel, digestive issues, stress headaches, and neuropathy issues. At Knowles Wellness & Chiropractic, we have a large number of patients that see us as a part of their wellness lifestyle. Receiving regular chiropractic adjustments can help the body function at its optimal potential.

Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic adjustments are the "backbone" of our practice. Dr. Knowles is trained in multiple techniques that are appropriate for any age and stature, from a new born to the most "experienced" senior citizen, and everyone in between. Adjustments of the spine, as well as the extremities, restore vital motion, reduce stiffness and pain, and promote increased tissue healing.
Migraine Center of Boise
Migraine Center of Boise
Dr. Knowles established the Migraine Center of Boise to help those who were told they would just have to live with their headaches. Headaches are the number one reason for missing work. Most headaches actually have a physical component to them irritating the nerves to the base of the skull and throughout the head. This irritation causes pain and abnormal function.
Whiplash Center of Boise
Whiplash Center of Boise
Auto accident injuries are one of the most common causes of chronic pain. Whiplash injuries can even occur at slower speeds. Damage to the vehicle is easy to see, however, damage to the soft tissues may not be as easy to detect. We utilize computerized testing to access nerve function and spinal ranges of motion.
Low Level Laser Therapy
Low Level Laser Therapy
FDA-Cleared Low Level Laser Therapy or LLLT is the application of penetrating red and near infra-red light to the body’s surface skin. The intensity of LLLT lasers is not high like a surgical laser; there is no heating effect. It is cleared by the FDA to decrease pain or inflammation, promote the healing of wounds, tissues, and nerves, and prevent tissue damage.
Forward Head Posture Correction
Forward Head Posture Correction
Research is showing that Forward Head Posture (FHP) as a result of whiplash, computer use, and even texting is a common cause of headaches. FHP also reduces the diameter of the vertebral arteries. These arteries provide blood flow to the head. Specialized Cranio- cervical adjustments and isometric Postural Weighting helps to reposition the head.
Nutritional Supplements
Nutritional Supplements
Foods are actually some of our best "medicines". Foods can also be some of the causes of our health problems. We use Standard Process supplements to help fill in the holes of our diets.
Physiotherapy & Therapeutic Exercises
Physiotherapy & Therapeutic Exercises
Physiotherapy, Therapeutic Exercises, and Postural Weighting help to retrain the supportive tissues of the spine, allowing the body to maintain the correction better. Postural Weighting on the head restores the normal cervical lordotic curve.
Neuropathy & Whole Body Vibration Therapy
Neuropathy & Whole Body Vibration Therapy
Whole Body Vibration Therapy coupled with specific chiropractic adjustments, electro-therapy, and nutritional supplements have been shown to help those who suffer from neuropathy symptoms.

"Since 2009 I was experiencing migraines almost everyday. I couldn't do anything without experiencing constant, mind-numbing pain. My life went from being outdoors skateboarding and riding my bike on the Greenbelt to sitting in one place at home with an ice pack on my head being miserable. I'd given up hope, and luckily I found Dr. Knowles earlier this year! I'm happy to say that my migraines are about 95% gone, and I can finally get back to living my life!"

"I have had migraines since I was 8 years old. I have had a headache everyday of my life for the past 24 years. They weren't always migraines but I suffered from constant pain. I have seen several doctors in an effort to determine what was causing my pain. I have been treated by neurologists. I have been to massage therapists, I have had acupuncture, and I have been to several other chiropractors. None of these doctors were able to help me. I've also been taking extremely expensive prescription medications for the past six years which also didn't help me for more than a couple hours. I began seeing Dr. Knowles approximately 6 weeks ago. Dr. Knowles has completely changed my life. I no longer have to sleep with ice packs on my head, wear my sun glasses in my home, or miss out on my son's activities because I am too nauseated to leave my bed. I don't avoid events or activities anymore because of fear that I will get a migraine. I enjoy life now. I am able to accomplish things each day instead of hiding in a dark room trying to recover from a headache."

"Dr. Knowles has changed our lives! My 14 year old daughter has had migraine headaches for 2 years now. She would have 3 to 4 migraines a week. We have tried several different medications and have been to various doctors, all which would help for a couple weeks at best. She has been seeing Dr. Knowles for about six months now. It has been almost three months since she had a migraine."

"I have suffered from severe stomach problems for over 3 years. I could not eat any dairy products and also many of my favorite foods. I hated going out to eat because I would always get sick. It was very embarrassing, I was also taking several antacids each day to get me through my meals. I went to many doctors and they did test after test. No one did anything but tell me to take more antacids. When I went to Dr. Knowles I was very skeptical but he said he could help me. In as soon as 3 weeks of adjustments, I was eating dairy products again. I am no longer taking antacids and I can eat anything I want! Thank you Dr. Knowles! Thank you for helping me be able to eat again."

"I have a daughter who is 8 and is classified as Autistic. Now she is communicating well and makes sense. Her teachers at school are amazed with her progress. She is now going to her main stream class for a lot of her academics where as before she was in a special class. My confidence as a parent has increased immensely. I feel like I can handle things now.

"Starting in October, Justin experienced re-occurring colds and ear infections. Treatment by antibiotics had only short term effects and numerous side effects. Since starting chiropractic care, Justin no longer has a constant runny nose and the ear infections have stopped. I am very impressed by the results and I am convinced of the necessity of good chiropractic care."
