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

BALANCING ACT YOUR BODY
STRIVES FOR
EQUILIBRIUM
Our Reason for Being
Just like a tightrope walker maintains balance, your body strives for equilibrium. When normal movement patterns are restored, it sends powerful signals to your brain that all is well. This can lead to a sense of calm, reduced stress, and improved emotional resilience.
FOOT FOUNDATION
A proper foot alignment contributes to balanced position, which, in turn, affects the alignment of your jaw and teeth.
PELVIS HARMONY
When your hips are in sync, it reduces the stress on your jaw, promoting a balanced bite and better dental health.
RIBS & RESPIRATION
Proper ribcage alignment ensures you can breathe freely and maintain a healthy tongue posture.
CRANIUM OCCLUSION
When your hips are in sync, it reduces the stress on your jaw, promoting a balanced bite and better dental health.
NEURO-VISION-FUNCTION
Your vision plays a crucial role in your body's balance and posture addressing optometric issues can lead to improved breathing & overall well-being.
Did you know
THAT THE ALIGNMENT OF BODY PARTS LIKE YOUR FOOT, HIP, OR RIBCAGE HAVE A DIRECT IMPACT ON YOUR DENTAL HEALTH? IT'S ALL INTERCONNECTED?
Our Commitment
Let us help you ensure that your patients remain strong and healthy for a lifetime of balance and well-being.

Gait and Grounding has been incredible...now I feel I have a very clear strategy for assessment and I know what to do with the information
~ Christina
All my professional life I have looked for practitioners interested in providing the best care of the patient through collaborative work to understand the whole body... I found what I was looking for.
~Sandoval
I’ve learned a lot about breathing and how your gait and your posture, and your shoes even affect your jaw and your teeth and your breathing.
~ Kevin Kaviani
