Services
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets neuromuscular conditions by inserting fine needles into specific areas to reduce pain, improve range of motion, and accelerate recovery. This evidence-based technique addresses muscle tension, inflammation, and nerve sensitivity, offering relief for chronic or acute injuries while promoting natural healing processes through localized biochemical responses.
Chiropractic Manipulation
Chiropractic adjustments restore proper joint motion and nerve function by applying controlled thrusts to misaligned vertebrae. This safe, effective treatment alleviates pain from joint stiffness, reduces inflammation, and corrects movement patterns that contribute to conditions like arthritis, tendinitis, and disc injuries, enhancing overall musculoskeletal health.
Functional Movement Evaluations
Functional movement assessments identify imbalances and faulty mechanics using systems like SFMA and FMS. By analyzing mobility, stability, and movement patterns, we create targeted interventions to prevent injuries, improve athletic performance, and address underlying causes of pain through corrective exercises and rehabilitation strategies.
Custom Rehab Programs
Custom rehab programs combine supervised and at-home exercises to correct movement dysfunctions causing pain. These tailored plans strengthen weak areas, restore joint mobility, and reinforce proper biomechanics, ensuring long-term recovery from injuries while preventing recurrence through patient education and progressive therapeutic techniques.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
DTS spinal decompression therapy uses traction to relieve pressure on herniated or bulging discs, creating negative disc space to promote healing. This non-surgical treatment reduces nerve compression, alleviates back and neck pain, and restores spinal function by addressing disc-related issues through gradual, controlled decompression cycles.
