Services
Spinal Manipulation
Our spinal manipulation therapy uses controlled force to improve joint mobility and alleviate pain from musculoskeletal injuries. Dr. Artkowsky employs manual techniques to address back pain, neck pain, and headaches while restoring proper spinal function. This treatment helps reduce inflammation, improve nerve function, and enhance overall physical performance through targeted adjustments.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed discs and nerves. This non-surgical treatment helps herniated discs retract while promoting nutrient flow to spinal structures. Patients experience reduced sciatica symptoms, improved mobility, and accelerated healing for chronic back conditions through this specialized traction technique.
Physical Therapeutics
Our physical therapeutics combine modalities like ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and heat therapy with targeted exercises. These treatments reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and accelerate recovery from injuries. Customized rehabilitation programs help patients regain strength, flexibility, and functional mobility following accidents or chronic pain episodes.
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics provide personalized foot support to correct biomechanical imbalances affecting posture and gait. These prescription inserts redistribute pressure evenly across the feet, alleviating knee, hip, and back pain caused by improper weight distribution. Patients benefit from improved comfort during prolonged standing or physical activities.
Auto Injury Treatment
Our auto injury treatment specializes in addressing soft tissue damage and spinal misalignments from car accidents. Through gentle manipulation and therapeutic exercises, we restore mobility and reduce pain from whiplash, muscle strains, and disc injuries. Comprehensive care helps patients recover from neck pain, headaches, and extremity discomfort caused by collision trauma.
