Our mission is to provide high-quality chiropractic care that enables our patients to find relief from a diverse array of painful and potentially harmful symptoms.
Through our comprehensive range of services, we are dedicated to addressing various health and wellness concerns. Take a moment to explore some of the specific services we offer below, and discover how we can support your well-being.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments are hands-on therapies performed by our highly trained chiropractors to improve the alignment and function of the spine and joints.
By applying controlled forces to specific areas, we aim to correct misalignments, relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and enhance the body's natural healing abilities.
These adjustments are safe and well-tolerated, and they can address conditions like back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint problems, promoting overall well-being and improving mobility.
Flexion and Distraction
Flexion and distraction is a chiropractic technique we commonly use to treat conditions like lower back pain, herniated discs, and sciatica.
It involves using a specialized table that gently stretches and flexes the spine in a rhythmic motion. During the treatment, you lie face down on the table. At the same time, the chiropractor applies gentle pressure and movements to specific areas of your spine.
This technique helps relieve discs' stress, promote spinal alignment, and improve mobility. Flexion and distraction is a safe and effective therapy that often reduces back-related issues.
Drop Technique
The drop technique is a gentle chiropractic adjustment method we conduct on a specialized adjustable table. It involves quick and precise thrusts to specific spine areas while using a drop-like motion on the table.
This technique aims to improve your spinal alignment, relieve pain, and enhance overall well-being. It is comfortable and suitable for people of all ages.
Manipulation Under Anesthesia
Manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) is a chiropractic procedure involving joint manipulations while the patient is sedated.
We offer this procedure for individuals with chronic pain, muscle spasms, or joint stiffness that has not responded to other forms of treatment.
During MUA, an anesthesiologist carefully monitors the patient in a controlled medical setting. At the same time, the chiropractor applies controlled pressure to the affected joints. The anesthesia helps relax the muscles and allows for more careful manipulation. MUA aims to improve joint mobility, reduce pain, and restore normal function.
Kinesio Taping
We offer Kinesio taping to provide support and facilitate healing in injured muscles and joints. It involves applying a special elastic tape directly onto the skin in specific patterns.
The tape is designed to mimic the elasticity of human skin and muscles, allowing for a full range of motion while providing gentle support.
Kinesio tape can help alleviate pain, reduce swelling, improve circulation, and enhance muscle and joint function. It is commonly used in sports injuries, postural issues, and muscle strains.
The tape is typically waterproof and can be worn for several days, providing ongoing therapeutic benefits.
Rehabilitation
We offer chiropractic rehabilitation as a comprehensive approach aimed at helping individuals recover from injuries, improve function, and restore overall health.
We often utilize rehabilitation techniques alongside other treatments to address musculoskeletal conditions and promote healing.
Rehabilitation may involve exercises, stretches, and specific movements tailored to your particular needs and goals. We aim at you strengthening weakened muscles, improving flexibility, enhancing coordination, and restoring balance and mobility.
Chiropractic rehabilitation empowers you to actively participate in the recovery process and regain optimal function and well-being.
Whiplash Injuries
Whiplash injuries are a common concern addressed by our chiropractors. They occur when the neck is suddenly jerked back and forth, often due to a car accident, sports injury, or other traumatic events.
Whiplash can lead to symptoms such as neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and reduced range of motion. Our chiropractors specializing in whiplash injuries perform a thorough examination to assess the extent of the injury.
We are using specialized imaging techniques to provide the most information possible.
Treatment
Treatment may include gentle adjustments, mobilization techniques, muscle relaxation, and rehabilitative exercises to promote healing, reduce pain, restore neck function, and improve overall well-being.
Our chiropractic care for whiplash aims to address the root cause of the problem and provide effective and personalized treatment for a speedy recovery.
Healthy Dieting
Healthy dieting is a crucial component of chiropractic care that promotes overall well-being and supports the body's natural healing processes. Our reliable chiropractors recognize the importance of nutrition in maintaining optimal health, providing guidance and recommendations for a balanced and nutritious diet.
They consider individual needs, preferences, and health goals to develop personalized dietary plans. A healthy chiropractic care diet emphasizes consuming whole foods, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats while minimizing processed foods, sugary beverages, and unhealthy additives.
By assisting you in nourishing your body with proper nutrients, our chiropractors aim to optimize energy levels, support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall health and vitality.
Weight Loss
Weight loss is an essential aspect of chiropractic care that focuses on achieving and maintaining healthy body weight.
Our dependable chiropractors recognize that excess weight can contribute to musculoskeletal issues, joint pain, and overall health problems. They provide the guidance and support you need to lose weight in a safe and sustainable manner.
Chiropractic weight loss programs may include nutritional counseling, exercise recommendations, lifestyle modifications, and behavioral strategies to promote healthier habits.
By addressing the underlying causes of weight gain and providing personalized plans, our knowledgeable chiropractors aim to support you in reaching your weight loss goals, improving overall well-being, and reducing the burden on your joints and muscles.
Strength Training
Strength training is a valuable chiropractic service that improves muscle strength, endurance, and overall physical performance.
Our well-informed chiropractors recognize the importance of strong muscles for optimal musculoskeletal health and injury prevention. They provide guidance and support for safe and effective strength training exercises tailored to your personal needs and goals.
Strength training typically involves using resistance, such as weights or bodyweight, to challenge the muscles and promote growth and development. You can enhance your posture, stability, joint function, and overall fitness by incorporating strength training through our chiropractic care.
We'll guide you on proper form, technique, and progression to ensure a well-rounded and beneficial strength training program.
Fall Prevention
Fall prevention is a vital aspect of chiropractic care that focuses on reducing the risk of falls and related injuries, especially among older adults. We assess factors contributing to falls, such as poor balance, muscle weakness, joint stiffness, and impaired mobility.
Through a combination of exercises, balance training, gait analysis, and personalized recommendations, we help you enhance your strength, flexibility, and coordination to improve overall stability and reduce the likelihood of falls.
We train and prepare you to avoid falls so you can maintain independence, prevent injuries, and enjoy a safer and more active lifestyle.
