Dr. Olaveson has been an Idaho Falls Chiropractor for his entire 12 year career. Dr. Clement is the assistant clinic director at Advanced Health and Physical Therapy Center. Dr. Clement has been a licensed Chiropractor for 9 years with 6 of those as a Chiropractor in Idaho Falls at our center. Get a PDF of Curriculum Vitae for Gary L. Olaveson D. C. or Curriculum Vitae for William E. Clement D. C. . Dr. Olaveson and Dr. Clement both are certified in Advanced Activator Techniques. Our chiropractors use an instrument called an activator to make spinal manipulations. The activator instrument uses a calibrated impulse of force to move a bone, such as vertebrae, faster than the muscles can react to the force. Thus, the bone is moved into the correct position without resistance of the muscles and tendons which work to maintain the bone in position. Thus allows misaligned bones to be realigned with great precision and accuracy. Our chiropractors are qualified in X-Ray imaging and diagnostics. Our chiropractors are specialists in diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation from car accident soft tissue injuries. 

Physical Therapy

Troy Williams, PT. is the Physical Therapy Director and Administrator and Physical Therapist at Advanced Health and Physical Therapy Center, Idaho Falls, ID. Troy has practiced Physical Therapy in Idaho Falls and the surrounding area for 17 years. Troy Williams PT. has been on staff at our clinic as the physical therapist since 2005. Get a PDF of the Curriculum Vitae for Troy Williiams PT. In addition; we have a full time physical therapy assistant to help patients and Troy with the prescribed physical therapy program. Our physical therapy department is well appointed with various machines, and technology used for physical therapy. Ultra-sound, and electrical stimulation, and biofeedback are two examples of techniques available for use in physical therapy in our office. The approach used by Troy related to chiropractic treatment and back or neck pain treatment is that the patient must be trained through biofeedback to recognize the neutral spine position. Then the muscles and tendons associated with the spine must be strengthened, while the spine is in the neutral spine position, to maintain the proper alignment of the spine after chiropractic adjustment. This way the positive effects of chiropractic care and physical therapy act in synergy to improve and maintain patient health.

Massage Therapy

Our office has a full complement of massage therapists on hand to add the elements of healing touch to Chiropractic Care and Physical Therapy. Massage Therapy increases blood circulation to treated areas, relaxes trigger points in painful areas and soothes irritated muscles. Our massage therapist team works in conjunction with the chiropractors and the physical therapist to complete the synergy of healing care practiced at Advanced Health and Physical Therapy Center. This synergy of Chiropractic, Physical Therapy and Massage Therapy is unique to our clinic in Idaho Falls and surrounding Eastern Idaho.

Aqua Massage or HydroMassage Therapy

In addition to massage therapist provided massage therapy, our office uses Aqua Massage or Hydro massage to supplement the other modalities used in our office.
