Services
Chiropractic
Dr. Nissenbaum's chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions through gentle adjustments. This non-invasive approach addresses back/neck pain, sciatica, and sports injuries while preventing future issues. Patients receive individualized plans combining adjustments with therapeutic exercises for long-term pain relief and improved mobility.
Active Release Techniques
ART targets soft-tissue injuries and nerve entrapments using movement-based manual therapy. Certified providers address strains, sprains, and repetitive motion injuries to restore function and reduce pain. This technique benefits athletes and individuals with chronic pain from daily activities or sports.
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture services stimulate the body's natural healing through targeted point stimulation. Combining traditional methods with Frequency Specific Microcurrent technology, we address pain management, stress reduction, and systemic health concerns without needles when appropriate. Treatments promote circulation and nervous system balance.
Therapeutic Massage
Licensed therapists use therapeutic techniques to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and aid injury recovery. Sessions address sports injuries, chronic pain, and stress-related conditions through customized pressure and modality combinations. The service supports overall wellness and complements other treatments.
Microneedling
This minimally invasive procedure uses micro-needles to stimulate collagen production and skin renewal. Combined with hyaluronic acid, it improves texture, reduces scars, and addresses aging signs. Most patients experience minimal downtime while achieving smoother, healthier-looking skin through natural healing processes.
