Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care focuses on correcting spinal misalignments that interfere with nervous system function. Using techniques like Diversified and Thompson Drop, we address back pain, neck pain, and sciatica through manual adjustments. Diagnostic tools including X-rays and Surface EMG help identify subluxations causing pain and mobility issues. Treatment plans emphasize long-term correction rather than temporary relief, with adjustments tailored to each patient's age and condition. This approach helps restore proper nerve communication, improving overall health and physical performance.
Pediatric Adjustments
We provide gentle chiropractic care for children from newborns to teens, addressing developmental and postural issues. Using fingertip pressure instead of forceful adjustments, our treatments support brain development, immune function, and motor skills. Common applications include improving posture from screen use and addressing birth-related trauma. The care frequency matches children's faster healing rates, typically requiring fewer visits than adult patients. Our approach helps young patients achieve optimal nervous system function during critical growth periods.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy uses specific light wavelengths to stimulate cellular healing and reduce inflammation. This non-invasive treatment addresses conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and sports injuries by breaking down scar tissue and improving circulation. Our dual-wavelength system targets both superficial and deep tissue issues, with sessions lasting 5-15 minutes per area. Patients often experience reduced pain and improved mobility after initial treatments, with chronic cases requiring multiple sessions for lasting results.
Auto Accident Rehabilitation
Specialized care for auto accident injuries focuses on whiplash and spinal trauma recovery. Using X-ray analysis and physical exams, we identify ligament damage and spinal misalignments causing pain. Treatment combines chiropractic adjustments with therapeutic exercises to restore range of motion. Our practice handles insurance claims and coordinates with legal professionals to ensure comprehensive care. Early intervention prevents long-term complications like osteoarthritis and chronic nerve compression from accident-related injuries.
Work Injury Treatment
We specialize in work injury rehabilitation, including repetitive stress injuries and ergonomic-related conditions. Our L&I-authorized practice manages claims from initial assessment through recovery, providing necessary documentation for workplace injury cases. Treatment addresses carpal tunnel syndrome, lower back pain, and soft tissue injuries through chiropractic adjustments and therapeutic interventions. We coordinate with employers and insurance providers to ensure proper care while helping patients return to work safely and efficiently.
