School / Sports Pre-Participation Physical
Exam
We also offer a complete school/sports physical exam at an
affordable price and at convenient appointment times. For the young
student and athlete, we examine the major organ systems as well as a more
in-depth screening exam for joint, muscle and ligament integrity and stability.
Not only does the exam rule out any health issues that may affect sports
participation, but it provides valuable baseline information in the event that
an injury should occur later in the season. For this very same reason, it
is ideal for your athlete to be seen by the doctor that performed their
physical if they are injured or have any problems later in the year. This
way the doctor that has seen them previously is familiar with their pre-injury
status.
Well Child / Baby Check-Ups
For our youngest patients, wellness starts early in life
with regular check-ups. Building a strong and healthy immune system early
is immensely important to avoid immune system dysfunctions later in life.
Our well visits include vital signs and growth charts for you to take
home. The doctor will examine the eyes, nose and throat as well as the
heart and lungs, musculoskeletal system and abdomen. Most importantly,
children that learn the value of annual exam to stay well will grow up to be
healthy-minded adults.
In the event that your child does get ill, we can examine
them and identify the illness. Strep testing can be done right here in
our office. To help them get better quickly, we offer natural therapies
as an alternative to antibiotic therapy. Over use of antibiotic
medications can lead to a weakened immune system and disruption of your child's
normal intestinal bacteria leading to more tummy aches and even allergies.
Nutritional Support
Nutritional Support allows the body to heal itself naturally.
With proper testing, an accurate diagnosis can be made. Dr. Hedberg
uses only the most accurate laboratories throughout the country, and
he takes the time to do it right.
Complete Comprehensive Examination
Dr. Hedberg specializes in finding the true cause of a problem. Using
a thorough history of your health, we can ascertain where you are with
your health, and where you need to go. By taking the time to do a thorough
history, Dr. Hedberg will be able to explain what specialized tests you
will need to answer your health care questions.

treat every condition known to man. Dr. Hedberg performs acupuncture
on a daily basis in conjunction with herbs and natural medicine.
Electrocardiograph (EKG) Heart Function

to provide a thorough evaluation of your heart and its functions,
along with physical exam findings and laboratory data. |
 |
Spirometry Lung Function
Spirometry Lung Function is the greatest indicator
of life expectancy. This extremely accurate device will evaluate
your overall health and your cardiovascular system. |
 |
ELISA Allergy Test
This test is used for both Immediate and Delayed
Onset Reactions.
Allergies can cause or aggravate almost any physical
symptom, especially muscle and joint pain. Dr. Hedberg uses laboratories
that specialize in both immediate allergy testing and delayed or
hidden allergy testing. Delayed onset reactions occur 2 hours to
several days after contact. Allergens are tested with the most
accurate methods incorporating blood testing for foods allergens
as well as chemicals, pollutants, preservatives, colorings, toxic
metals, molds, animal dander, airborne allergens and dental filling
materials. |

be identified.
Toxic Metal Analysis
Challenge testing for toxic metals is done safely and effectively through urine. Mercury, Lead, Arsenic, Aluminum and Cadmium plus other metals are analyzed.
|
|
Chelation
Chelation therapy removes toxic heavy metals that have built up in the arteries and body tissues. Toxic heavy metals cause a wide range of health problems and disease. | | | | |
Urinalysis
Very important to rule out bladder and kidney disorders.
Dr. Hedberg also examines all urine samples with a microscope to
identify bacteria, kidney or bladder cells, white or red blood
cells, or crystals that would form kidney stones. |
 |
Comprehensive Hormone Testing
As we get older, our hormones adjust to new levels.
Daily stress, overall poor physical health, and chemical toxins
in our environment all contribute to improper hormone balance.
Using only FDA Certified Labs, Dr. Hedberg ensures the accuracy
of the hormones tested. This is important for females of all ages
and older males. |
 |
Adrenal Gland Stress Testing
In addition to hormone balance, proper adrenal
gland function is important for optimal health. Stress can greatly
affect adrenal function, and an accurate reading of the adrenal
gland function is vital to providing an accurate diagnosis. |
 |
Comprehensive Osteoporosis Testing
Bone health requires the diagnostic screening of mainly four tests.
Blood and hair analysis for mineral availability, hormone testing for
proper stimulation of the bone cells, and a specialized protein test
called Cross Linked Peptide Testing - Dpd Testing. This protein can be
found in the blood and urine, and when elevated means there is active
osteoporosis occurring.
Weight Loss Programs
Evergreen Diagnostic Clinic offers several weight loss programs. Each person
is carefully screened to identify what type of program would be best
for that person's needs.
Chiropractic Care
Evergreen Diagnostic Clinic provides the most up-to-date treatments for spinal
conditions. Using conventional spinal adjustments as well as the Activator
method of spinal treatment, we can provide treatment for all types of
individual needs.
Physical Therapy is used to help speed recovery and help aide in pain
relief. We offer many different types of therapy to specifically suit
your needs:
Neuromuscular Therapy is used
with every visit to help break up muscle spasms and to aide in relaxation
so spinal adjustments can have their greatest effect.
In addition to therapy devices that aide in recovery from injuries,
Dr. Hedberg has considerable training in treatment for long standing
conditions. After doing an individual muscle balance assessment, Dr.
Hedberg can determine specific stabilization exercises for your exact
situation. The goal of employing stabilization exercises is to find a
solution for long-standing spinal pain.
Orthotics
To help stabilize the spine and to help with
knee/foot/ankle pain, custom-made orthotics can be employed. Dr. Hedberg will mold your orthotics in-house so you walk right out the door with them on!. |
