Services
Spinal Adjustments
Our spinal adjustments use low-force techniques to correct misalignments and relieve nerve pressure. We employ the Sigma Ultralign Adjusting System for precise, gentle corrections that improve mobility and reduce pain. This service addresses conditions like back pain, sciatica, and posture-related issues through targeted spinal manipulations.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release therapy targets muscle tension and connective tissue restrictions that contribute to chronic pain. This hands-on technique improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and restores normal movement patterns. Patients benefit from decreased pain levels and improved range of motion following these therapeutic sessions.
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics provide personalized foot support based on digital foot scans and gait analysis. These prescription inserts correct biomechanical imbalances that affect posture and spinal alignment. Patients experience improved weight distribution and reduced strain on joints throughout the body.
Nutritional Counseling
Our nutritional counseling addresses dietary factors that impact musculoskeletal health and inflammation levels. We provide personalized eating plans to support healing and overall wellness. This service complements chiropractic treatments by addressing systemic contributors to chronic pain conditions.
Posture Analysis
Posture analysis identifies alignment issues that contribute to musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. We use observational techniques and movement assessments to develop corrective strategies. This service helps patients understand and improve body mechanics to prevent recurring injuries.
