Services
Active Release Techniques
ART targets tissue-specific issues affecting movement and stiffness. Our certified provider identifies biomechanical imbalances between muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This approach addresses scar tissue and tension through precise manual techniques, focusing on understanding muscle function and recovery.
Spinal Manipulation
Manual adjustments correct vertebral misalignments impacting nervous system function. We employ diversified, Gonstead, and Thompson techniques to restore joint mobility. This reduces nerve irritation, alleviates pain, and improves spinal mechanics through controlled force application.
Physical Therapy
Therapeutic exercises and modalities enhance recovery from injuries or surgeries. Ultrasound, muscle stimulation, and targeted stretching strengthen weakened areas. Our protocols improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and restore functional movement patterns for back and extremity conditions.
Corrective Exercises
Customized home exercise programs address muscular imbalances causing pain. These movements improve alignment, flexibility, and core stability. We teach patients self-care techniques to maintain spinal health between office visits and prevent recurring issues.
Auto Accident Recovery
Specialized care addresses trauma from vehicle collisions. We assess spinal misalignments, soft tissue damage, and neurological effects. Treatment combines adjustments, soft tissue work, and rehabilitation to restore pre-accident functionality and alleviate chronic symptoms.

Very friendly staff and knowledgeable doctor. I used to have a hard time getting out of bed some days because of my back pain, but by the second adjustment I didn't have that problem anymore.
