CHIROPRACTIC MANIPULATION

Using a hands-on, non-invasive approach, the techniques we use are safe for all ages. We find areas of the spine that are restricted, or not moving the way they should be, by using various forms of assessments. We then use that information to guide the treatment and course of care. You may hear “pops” during adjustments, and that is completely normal! It is simply gas bubbles moving from one side of the joint to the other. Though it is common to hear “pops”, there are times when there will be no sound and that is also okay, as movement can be restored to a joint with or without sound effects.

DRY NEEDLING

Dry needling is a technique that helps relieve sore muscles and surrounding irritated tissues. It can help lead to decreased pain and increased mobility. Our bodies will form little bundles of tight muscles that are overstimulated and when these small needles are applied to those areas it helps relax the muscle. When the muscles relax, there may be a “twitch” felt where the needles are and that is normal. This will be combined with E-Stim for great results!

CUPPING

Cupping is a technique that creates a suction effect between the cup and the skin. This lifts the skin allowing fresh blood flow to the area, which helps bring the necessary nutrients to the area to promote healing.  Oftentimes, there is an increased range of motion and decreased level of pain as a result of the treatment.

GRASTON/IASTM

Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization is a method that utilizes a tool to help free up any tissue adhesions that may be limiting movement or causing pain. This combined with exercise has been shown to speed up recovery and increase movement.

REHAB/EXERCISE

This is the bread and butter of what we do in our clinic because we believe everyone should have the ability to self-manage their pain and symptoms outside of the office. That is why every person that comes in for treatment will leave with some homework - it is not meant to be a burden. It is meant to give you strategies that, hopefully, you’ll be able to use for years to come. Active care takes your short-term pain relief and makes it long-term.
