BETTER HEALTH THROUGH INNOVATIVE MULTIDISCIPLINARY CARE: 

At AIA, we understand that health encompasses much more than just the sum of its parts, and that's why we look beyond the surface. Our whole-body approach considers dynamic human movement, dentistry, optometry, and much more.

MULTIFOCAL APPROACH: Efficient treatment through multiple disciplines is the foundation on which AIA is built.

DENTAL & AIRWAY HEALTH: Research reveals the power of teeth and how they control body movement. AIA knows this, and knows how to harness that power for quality body performance

VISUAL FUNCTION: Vision isn't just about seeing clearly: it's a critical component than influences your balance and body posture
