Walk into the lobby at 360 Chiropractic in Lacey and you will immediately notice a difference. Unlike most medical facilities, this space feels warm and welcoming – you will be greeted with smiles. Drs. George and Stefanie Olar, a married couple who met at Sherman College of Chiropractic and run their joint practice together, have family photos on the wall and treat their patients like extended family. Chat with the friendly receptionist and you will find that 360 Chiropractic offers a plethora of services to help make you feel better, faster.
The couple offers an alternative to manual adjustments and primarily focuses on the Activator method. This method uses a small device with adjustable force that allows the doctor to pinpoint the adjustment much more precisely than with hands.
“We specialize in pregnant women and small children,” explains Dr. George. “And, we can work on people from birth to senior citizens with this method because we can customize the force.” He adds that this method also allows them to adjust someone who has had surgery. With the Activator, he can work above, below or around the area to help with mobility “with pinpointed accuracy” and without upsetting the surgical site. 360 Chiropractic receives many referrals for these special cases.
The Activator also lets them adjust small children more easily and can help with precise adjustments for car accidents or work related injuries. “We have children who have been coming in since they were less than a day old,” says Christine, business manager and laser specialist for 360 Chiropractic. “Maybe they had a traumatic birth and their shoulder is out. The birth center will send the parents to us before they even go home. Then, as they grow up and play sports and become more active, we keep seeing them. They will be healthier adults because they have had chiropractic care from a young age – my own kids included.”
Infants who have trouble with nursing or have costive bowels may be out of alignment and could benefit from an adjustment, Dr. George adds. Both doctors are certified with the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. The doctors are very supportive of youth programs in the Thurston County area. They continuously donate to North Thurston School District programs as well as the Tumwater High School Dance Team and the Tumwater High School Athletic Association. “We want to give back to the community and who better than the next generation.” says Dr. George.
Additional Services That Boost Healing
Because they want their patients to feel better as quickly as they can, they offer several other services, which work with chiropractic to get your body feeling the best it can as fast as possible. Some of the services they offer include:
Laser Therapy – 360 Chiropractic utilizes laser therapy to help speed healing a variety of injuries. Not only do they have the only FX 635 cold laser in the Pacific Northwest – a three-headed laser that constantly rotates – they also have three hand held models. Low Level Laser Therapy (aka cold lasers) stimulate the cells on the damaged area by giving them energy which speeds up cell regeneration and communication. Sometimes, the laser can actually help people avoid surgery or speed up post-surgery healing.
“My daughter was hit on the arm by a fast pitch ball that bruised her to the bone and sprained it,” says Christine. “The ER told her she would be in a sling for six weeks. We brought her here and used the FX laser – we did three treatments and she was only in the sling for three weeks.”
Massage Therapy – Gloria Burkenbine, LMP, is their resident massage therapist. She specializes in Swedish, relaxation, deep tissue, sports, pregnancy and chronic migraines. She sees a wide-range of clients including those suffering from cancer, fibromyalgia, arthritis and plantar fasciitis.
Custom Orthotics – 360 has a Foot Levelers Orthotics machine that scans your feet and is able to make an orthotic insert custom to your feet and gait.
Detoxifying Foot Bath – The Erchonia EB Pro restores a body’s balance and energy levels using positive and negative ions. This pulls out toxics, such as heavy metal, from your body through your feet.
Natural Supplements – 360 Chiropractic carries Nutri-West supplements that help with healing from the inside. “We choose them because they have very high standards,” Dr. George explains. “They use science to increase regeneration and healing. For example, supplements for muscles to help them relax and heal.”
Everything in Nutri-West’s line is responsibly sourced and plant and animal based with no chemicals so your body can easily digest and absorb them.
360 Chiropractic accepts most insurance plans, automobile injuries, as well as workers compensation and self-pay patients. To learn more about how 360 Chiropractic can help improve your quality of life, visit their website or call 360-923-0360.
