Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments target joint restrictions using techniques like manual manipulation, activator tools, and flexion-distraction therapy. These methods restore proper biomechanics, alleviate pain from misalignments, and reduce nerve irritation. Each session includes postural assessments and patient education to maintain spinal health between visits.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy addresses muscle tension, inflammation, and restricted mobility through deep tissue, Swedish, and trigger point techniques. We use manual therapy and tool-assisted methods to release adhesions, improve circulation, and prepare soft tissues for chiropractic adjustments, enhancing overall treatment effectiveness.
Physical Rehabilitation
Our rehabilitation programs combine stretching, nerve flossing, and strengthening exercises to improve mobility and prevent pain recurrence. Tailored protocols like McKenzie techniques address discogenic pain, while stabilization exercises build core strength to support spinal and joint health long-term.
