The Chiropractic Services We Offer Irvine
We offer the following services at Irvine Spine and Wellness Center:
Structural Assessment:
Chiropractic Care
Our facility is THE ONLY clinic IN IRVINE and one of only three in south Orange County offering the most technologically advanced computerized Chiropractic assessment and adjusting equipment available in the industry, the Pro-Adjuster. Utilizing a highly sensitive and location-specific device, the vibrational frequency of each vertebra is assessed, and a diagram similar to EKG and EEG is composed. Our doctors are specially trained to analyze this graph, similar to the way cardiologists and neurologists are trained to read the EKG and EEG, and determine the exact vertebra responsible for the deviation from the healthy vibrational frequency of 50 HZ (cycles per second). Utilizing this highly sensitive computer, the exact amount of gentle, painless pressure is then applied to the appropriate segment which brings the vibration to the healthy level of 50 Hz. The moment the computer attains TEN consecutive readings of the healthy vibrational frequency, the adjustment is complete assuring that you always receive the perfect adjustment. A post-scan then reveals the level of improvement at the given segment and its overall effect on the region. This marriage of technology and tradition enables us to monitor our patients’ progress scientifically and objectively while allowing the patients to view the extent of their problem beyond the sore back and neck. The patient is then able to see the EXACT area of the body that is controlled by the nerve whose function was likely compromised by the vertebral misalignment. read more»

Breast Thermography Services
Irvine Spine & Wellness Center is pleased to provide you Breast Health Screening known as Breast Thermography. It has been known that the human body is thermally symmetrical and our normal thermal patterns are constant and repeatable. In the presence of disease and abnormality, this symmetrical thermal pattern changes and can be detected by Thermography. No extra charge!
What is Breast Thermography?
An FDA approved, painless, radiation-free, affordable clinical imaging procedure to assess the unique heat patterns of breasts to identify suspicious patterns in the breast and monitor changes over months and years.
Who performs the test?
Brenda Witt is the thermography technician trained and certified by the American College of Clinical Thermology at Duke University.
Who reads the images and reports?
Images are sent to an interpretation service who employ medical doctors who are all board certified as thermologists by the American College of Clinical Thermology at Duke University. These doctors have many years experience and are able to ask for second opinions whenever necessary.
Does it replace mammography?
Breast Thermography works together with mammography and can detect changes months or years in advance. When the thermology results indicate abnormality, there may be a need for mammography for further clarification. While mammography is a valuable tool to detect cancer, most mammograms are negative while exposing women to radiation.
Can women with fibrocystic disease and implants benefit from Thermography?
Absolutely YES!
Does my insurance cover this clinical procedure?
No, unfortunately the same way that your insurance does not cover your vitamins and supplements, nor does it cover for your organic foods and bottled water, this service is not a covered service. We hope that you value your health and consider this valuable tool an investment in your health.
Who should I call to make an appointment or ask more questions?
Please contact Brenda Witt at (714) 891-3390

Computerized Foot Biomechanics and Weight Distribution Scan
A balanced body is a happier body! A body that's out of balance can be causing you pain anywhere from your feet to your neck. We provide custom-made Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers which are specially made for your feet and your unique postural condition.
The joints in your body that bear weight (ankles, knees, hips, pelvis, low back, neck) are like links in a chain. If your feet aren't balanced, every joint (and the connecting muscles, tendons, and ligaments) above may become injured over time due to unnatural twists and strains on your body. Pain may occur because of these postural imbalances.
Additionally, every time your feet hit the ground, a shock wave travels through your body. If your feet are balanced, they can absorb much of that shock. But if they are not in balance, over time the shock can cause you additional stress and strain.
It is important to make sure your feet are giving you the proper support and protection your whole body needs. If they're not, it's time to ask us whether Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers can help you. Talk to us for a personal consultation.
Cold Laser Therapy
Fastest, most advanced non-surgical healing method to treat tendon, bursa, meniscus, and ligaments. Recommended by many orthopedists and physiatrists.
Cold Laser Therapy or Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has been widely used in Europe for over thirty five years in addition to being the subject of numerous studies with over 3,500 scientific papers published worldwide. There have been no reported side effects to Cold Laser treatments, which are painless and non-toxic.
People worldwide are realizing the benefits of Cold Laser Therapy more than ever before and at the same time, American consumers are increasingly interested in alternative treatments.
For a long time L.A.S.E.R. (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) was an acronym and today a word of common use. The word LASER is the name of a device that projects intense radiation of the light spectrum. It produces a beam of light in which high energies can be concentrated. Laser light has unique physical properties, which no ordinary light has. The unique properties of coherence and monochromaticity are the key to why laser light is so effective compared to other kinds of light in pain reduction and healing. Cold Laser Therapy, also known as phototherapy and low level laser therapy, involves the application of low power coherent light to injuries and lesions to stimulate healing and reduce pain. It is used to increase the speed, quality and strength of tissue repair, resolve inflammation and give pain relief. Cold Laser therapy has been found to offer superior healing and pain relieving effects compared to other electrotherapeutic modalities such as ultrasound, especially in chronic problems and in the early stages of acute injuries. Cold Laser Therapy is a complete system of treating muscle, tendon, ligament, connective tissue, bone, nerve, and dermal tissues in a non-invasive, drug-free modality.
