Have you heard about RaindropTherapy® from any of our patients? Have you been wondering what a Raindrop session actually is? Well we want to let you in to the

Raindrop Therapy® is a 75 minute massage session based on the idea (now being explored in a number of scientific studies) that many types of scoliosis and spinal misalignments are caused by viruses or bacteria that lie dormant along the spine. These pathogens create inflammation, which in turn contorts and disfigures the spinal column.

    Raindrop Therapy® is a powerful, non-invasive tool for assisting the body in correcting defects in the curvature of the spine by utilizing the antivi28ral, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action of several key essential oils.”

 The Oils 

-Young Living® Essential Oils-

Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Cypress, Wintergreen, Marjoram, and Peppermint.

-Young Living® Essential Oil Blends-

Valor (energy balancing) and Aroma Seiz (muscle relaxation)

 The Technique

During Raindrop Therapy®, oils are dropped like rain along the spine and on the soles of the feet and then lightly massaged in a rhythmic technique to absorb them into the tissue. After the oils are dropped on the spine,  they are feathered and massaged along the vertebrae and back muscles.  Then heat is applied for increased absorption
Raindrop Therapy® may be modified to all body types and health conditions, and it is safe and beneficial for babies, children, and for those with more serious health conditions.aindrop Therapy®, oils are dropped like rain along the spine and on the soles of the feet and then lightly massaged in a rhythmic technique to absorb them into the tissue.

We were so pleased to hear what Amy Baugher had to say about her experience with us!

“The move to Charlottesville almost two years ago had only a couple of downsides, one of course being away from my family. The other was moving away from my chiropractor, Linda Dudding Brown. I worried and fretted because Linda is awesome and would be a tough act to follow. I have been in pain almost constantly for a long time, and after putting it off months longer than I should have, decided to bite the bullet and see a chiropractor here. I definitely made the right choice in seeing Dr. Dolly! A big THANKS to her!”

This issue of the magazine was featured in the March 10th insert of the Daily Progress, and it’s still available on newsstands for Charlottesville Woman Magazine.

Lifting heavy weights, doing pull-ups with weights, rowing on an erg, jump roping double-unders, sprinting on a track, and doing many other incredible feats within a time frame caused significant muscle soreness, muscle spasms, tight shoulders, sore low backs, and achy necks.

But, Dr. Garnecki was able to help these extremely fit athletes stay in the game and continue to compete (some continuing on to place in the Crossfit World Games), by providing them with chiropractic care for the spines, shoulders, knees, wrists, ankles, as well as soft tissue healing techniques.

In addition to crossfit athletes, Dr. Garnecki works with many professional dancers, high school, and collegiate athletes, and world champions in sport such as soccer, swimming, tennis, track & field, cross-country, triathlons, field hockey, lacrosse, football, wrestling, and martial arts.

She’s helped athletes overcome mild concussions, whiplash injuries, muscle strain, muscle sprain, shoulder dislocation, foot fractures, post-surgery recovery for knees and shoulders, and much more.
