Services
Hands-On Adjustments
Utilizing Palmer Diversified, Thompson, Flexion/Distraction, and Gonstead techniques, our hands-on adjustments target spinal misalignments to alleviate pain and improve mobility. Dr. Gomes adapts methods to individual preferences, ensuring safe, effective care for all ages while promoting natural healing and nervous system function.
Massage Therapy
Licensed massage therapists provide customized sessions addressing deep tissue needs, trigger points, prenatal care, and neuromuscular therapy. Available in 30, 60, or 90-minute durations, these treatments enhance circulation, reduce muscle tension, and complement chiropractic adjustments for comprehensive pain management and relaxation.
Traction Therapy
This non-invasive therapy uses specialized tables to gently stretch spinal joints before or after adjustments. By increasing disc fluid flow and relieving pressure, it reduces back and hip tension while improving joint mobility, making it ideal for patients with chronic stiffness or disc-related discomfort.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Combining Vibracussor tool therapy and Graston technique, our soft tissue treatments target trigger points and fascial restrictions. These methods break down adhesions, improve range of motion, and accelerate recovery for conditions like sports injuries, repetitive strain, and postural imbalances through precise, instrument-assisted manipulation.
Rehabilitation
Personalized rehabilitation plans integrate in-office and at-home exercises to strengthen muscles, correct posture, and prevent future injuries. Focused on long-term wellness, these programs address individual biomechanical needs through targeted stretches, core stabilization, and movement retraining to maintain spinal health and functional mobility.
