Services
Spinal Adjustments
Manual and activator-assisted spinal manipulations correct vertebral subluxations to restore proper nerve function. This treatment reduces pain, improves range of motion, and enhances nervous system communication. Our doctors use precise techniques tailored to each patient's condition, employing either high-velocity thrusts or gentle instrument-assisted adjustments based on individual needs and comfort levels.
Custom Orthotics
Computerized foot scans create personalized orthotic devices that correct biomechanical imbalances. These custom supports alleviate foot pain, improve weight distribution, and address related knee, hip, and back issues. Patients receive specialized footwear inserts designed to last 12-18 months with proper care and maintenance.
Rehabilitative Exercise
Targeted exercise programs re-educate injured tissues and strengthen supporting musculature. Using Fitness Plus equipment, we develop personalized rehabilitation plans that accelerate recovery from injuries and prevent future occurrences. These exercises complement chiropractic adjustments by improving joint stability and functional movement patterns.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation
Low-frequency electrical impulses stimulate endorphin release and improve circulation to injured areas. This non-invasive therapy reduces inflammation, alleviates muscle spasms, and promotes tissue healing. Patients experience pain relief through natural mechanisms without pharmaceutical intervention.
Graston Technique
Stainless steel instruments break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions in soft tissues. This evidence-based technique treats chronic inflammation and fibrosis throughout the body, restoring normal tissue texture and movement. It effectively addresses conditions affecting muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
