Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments use precise manual techniques to correct vertebral subluxations and improve nervous system function. This drug-free approach addresses back pain, headaches, and posture issues while promoting overall wellness. Patients benefit from individualized treatment plans that may incorporate Gonstead technique or other specialized methods for optimal spinal alignment and pain relief.
Graston Technique
This instrument-assisted therapy detects and breaks down scar tissue adhesions in muscles, tendons, and ligaments using specialized stainless steel tools. It effectively treats chronic pain, sports injuries, and repetitive strain conditions by restoring tissue flexibility and function. Most patients experience significant improvement within 2-3 sessions combined with prescribed rehabilitation exercises.
Whole Body Cryotherapy
Exposure to extreme cold (-170C) for 2-3 minutes triggers the body's natural healing response through vasoconstriction and detoxification processes. This non-invasive treatment reduces inflammation, accelerates recovery from athletic injuries, and alleviates chronic pain conditions. Unlike ice baths, it preserves muscle function while enhancing circulation and endorphin production for immediate pain relief.
Active Release Technique
This patented movement-based massage technique treats soft tissue injuries by breaking down adhesions that restrict motion and cause pain. Over 500 specific protocols address conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and sports injuries through combined manual therapy and patient movement to restore tissue functionality and prevent re-injury.
Functional Movement Taping
RockTape application supports muscle function and joint stability while allowing full range of motion during recovery. This technique enhances proprioception, reduces swelling, and provides pain relief for acute injuries and chronic conditions. Certified FMT Level 2 practitioners use advanced taping patterns to improve biomechanical efficiency and accelerate healing through neuromuscular re-education.
