At The Upper Room Wellness Center, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our Vadnais Hts office.
Chiropractic Care
We provide advanced spinal correction in our offices utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. "I only associate with doctors and support staff that share the same 'addiction' I have," says Dr. Conners, "to get and keep people well." Dr Conners utilizes over ten chiropractic techniques including Kinesiology, Sacral Occipital Technique, Arthrostim, Activator, Chiropractic BioPhysics, Diversified, Torque Release Technique, etc. all aimed at the philosophy of correction and continued wellness.
Applied Kinesiology/ Clinical Kinesiology/ CPK/ Neurolink/ CRA
Kinesiology is a term that simply means movement by muscle. The above listed terms are names of specific treatment techniques used by some Chiropractic, Osteopathic, and Medical doctors who have had advanced training and choose to specialize in what is now commonly called "Functional Medicine". Dr. Conners has been practicing such advanced techniques for over 23 years and has taught numerous seminars for both doctors and patients. It gives the ability to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of patients who have literally been from their local chiropractor to Mayo Clinic with little help.
Acupuncture
The Chinese have been practicing acupuncture for thousands of years and it is difficult to dispute its efficacy. The philosophy of acupuncture mirrors chiropractic in that they both are based on the foundation that the God who made the body instilled in it the power to heal and preserve proper function and that the dysfunction that may be experienced is due to a disturbance in the natural, God-given flow of one's own healing ability. Acupuncture is NOT magic, 'new age', or painful. It IS helpful in balancing the body's energy and stimulating healing. Dr Conners is certified in Acupuncture.
Detoxification/Healing
Tissue toxification is a huge cause of disease and if not a root cause it is present in nearly all conditions. If you have ever heard Dr. Conners speak you will eventially breach this subject. We utilize the most technically advanced methods to aid people through a complete cycle of healing and tools used to assist detoxification are essential. The ION Cleanse is a foot bath ionization tool which draws toxins from the body through polar ionization. The Light Beam Generator and the Beam Ray are photon generators that look much like an electrical stimulator therapy units yet uses RIFE Technology and frequency technologies to aid in lymphatic detoxification. These services are available at our Vadnais office.
Spinal and Postural Screenings/Workplace Massages (Stress Relief Breaks)
Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. We provide screenings at area malls, community events, health fairs and places of employment. We also provide Stress Relief Breaks where the staff can be scheduled to come to your office and give everyone a 5-10 minute massage to refresh you and your colleagues. There is no cost for this service. Contact our office today to arrange massages at your event or workplace.

Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods (Pettibon, CBP, Activator, Arthrostim and Integrator) are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As Doctors of Chiropractic, both Dr. Conners and Dr. Wangerin have years of training and experience in GENTLE spinal adjustment.
Corrective Exercises
We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.
Lifestyle Advice
We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.
