Chiropractic Adjustments

Precision spinal adjustments restore joint mobility and nervous system function. Our doctors use controlled force techniques to address misalignments, alleviate pain, and improve range of motion. This evidence-based approach enhances overall body mechanics and supports natural healing processes for active individuals seeking performance optimization.

Graston Technique

Stainless steel instruments detect and treat soft tissue fibrosis through targeted scraping motions. This patented method breaks down scar tissue, increases blood flow, and accelerates recovery. Effective for chronic strains and sports injuries, it's commonly used by professional athletes to maintain peak physical condition and mobility.

Sport Specific Massage

Customized massage protocols address sport-related muscle tension and recovery needs. Therapists combine deep tissue work with dynamic stretching to enhance circulation, reduce soreness, and prevent injuries. Sessions focus on movement patterns specific to each patient's athletic discipline for optimal performance outcomes.

Myofascial Release

Sustained pressure techniques target fascial restrictions causing pain and limited mobility. By releasing tightness in the connective tissue network, this approach improves muscle function and posture. Patients experience reduced inflammation and enhanced flexibility through personalized manual therapy sessions.

FAKTR Treatment

Integrated system combining movement assessment with soft tissue treatment. Patients perform active motions while therapists apply targeted pressure to identify and resolve movement compensations. This dynamic approach addresses both symptoms and underlying biomechanical issues affecting athletic performance and daily activities.

Amazing staff! Very friendly and knowledgable. Every time I've had an appointment has always been a pleasant experience. Staff gets to know their patients. Highly reccomend them!

I should have read more reviews. Yes the staff is friendly but the woman who adjusted me hardly spent any time with me. She seemed distracted and was not very attentive. I could feel her holding back on certain adjustments as if she were afraid of hurting me which really made her seem not very experienced. I told her I was having problems with my shoulders and hips and she asked if I wanted her to adjust my neck. Well.yes!

I am paying almost $100 and literally told you that was a problem area. I guess I should have requested Peters or Chad since many reviews seem to think they were good. It's unlikely I'll go back because I don't want her to adjust me again but I also don't want to offend her which is another reason why I'm not saying her name. Guess my advice is to request Peters or Chad.

After 10 years of lower back pain and right hip pain becoming more and more severe, as well as 3 years of pain management, I was ready to try anything. With a healthy dose of skepticism, I made an appointment at Armadillo. Dr. Agosto did a thorough review, identified my issues, and began her treatment. After 2 treatments, totaling under 1hour, the pain, numbness, and tingling were gone. GONE. No more muscle relaxers or pain meds. Never in my wildest dreams did I think this would work as well as it did. I cannot begin to express my level of gratitude. An added bonus - the staff is genuinely pleasant and helpful.

I Highly recommend coming here if you're considering a visit to the chiropractor. For the past 6months I was living in pain and discomfort to the point of being prescribed muscle relaxers & having to got to physical therapy more than once. One visit to Armadillo and the paint and discomfort has improved to the point of happy tears! Dr Karrolyn (I apologize if I've misspelled her name) was great! She took her time to listen to my issues, She's a miracle worker!

I've made another appointment with her and I'm looking forward to my visit. I'm a very active person and they definitely understood that! I love it here and I wouldn't look for any other place if you're considering a visit with them. You will not regret it!
