Services for Enhanced Wellness

We understand that each patient's journey to wellness is unique. That's why we offer a wide range of services designed to address a variety of conditions and health goals:

• Specific Chiropractic Care: Dr. Bienenfeld utilizes motion palpation analysis to precisely pinpoint areas of misalignment and restriction in your spine and joints. This allows him to deliver precise adjustments that restore proper biomechanics and facilitate healing.
• Active Release Techniques (ART): ART is a patented, hands-on technique that addresses soft tissue injuries, such as muscle strains, tendonitis, and nerve entrapment. By isolating and treating tight or restricted muscles and fascia, ART can effectively reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall function.
• Physiotherapeutic Modalities: In addition to chiropractic adjustments, we offer a variety of therapies designed to complement your treatment plan. These include flexion-distraction therapy to relieve pressure on the spine, ultrasound to reduce inflammation, muscle stimulation to promote healing, rehabilitation exercises to strengthen supporting muscles, laser therapy to accelerate tissue repair, pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) to stimulate cellular regeneration, and shockwave therapy to break down scar tissue and reduce pain.
• Massage Therapy & Graston Technique: Massage therapy can help alleviate muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. Graston Technique is a form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that effectively breaks down scar tissue, adhesions, and trigger points, restoring mobility and reducing pain.
• Patient Education & Home Exercises: We believe empowering our patients with knowledge is crucial for long-term success. Dr. Bienenfeld will provide personalized guidance on exercises and stretches you can perform at home to maintain spinal health, improve flexibility, and support your healing process.
• Lifestyle, Nutritional Counseling & Wellness Care:

We recognize that overall health extends beyond the musculoskeletal system. We offer lifestyle and nutritional counseling to help you make informed choices that support your well-being. This includes strategies for stress management, sleep optimization, and incorporating healthy habits into your daily routine.
