Dr. Serena Elhard envisions a future where more individuals recognize the value of functional chiropractic care incorporating a proper functional analysis and treatment that not only includes chiropractic spinal manipulation but goes beyond to also address dysfunctions in the extremities, targeted corrected exercises and muscle therapies that change body movement beyond relaxation and pain-care. She sees this as a more advanced and proactive approach to a future with an increased ‘quality of life’- versus just ‘quantity of life’. 

Part of that approach is the repeated emphasis in evaluating foot function, shoe wear, shoe insert education and gait to add to a person’s stability and movement which compliments total body movement,  injury prevention and maintaining independence for individuals such as seniors. 

All too often she has seen individuals seeking care only when they are in pain and with each passing year she has observed the deterioration in their movement and they are not even aware of the small changes that she is so attuned to. Having worked in senior living and hospital settings in her earlier years, Dr. Elhard knows that the most important cause of individuals losing their independence is losing their mobility and ability to function. She knows the cost burdens emotionally and financially and believes in providing this insight to her patients and sharing her enthusiasm about the improvements she sees possible for those patients which they have appreciated – as most never knew what would be possible for their body with a little more regular functional chiropractic care.
