Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care utilizes spinal manipulations to improve nervous system function and alleviate musculoskeletal pain. We employ diversified techniques including Gonstead, Thompson Drop, and Activator methods to restore structural integrity. Patients benefit from reduced inflammation, improved joint mobility, and enhanced overall wellness through our comprehensive adjustments.
Functional Nutrition
Functional nutrition assessments identify food sensitivities and metabolic imbalances through blood work analysis and non-invasive testing. Our personalized dietary programs address digestive health, blood sugar regulation, and essential mineral deficiencies. Patients receive customized meal plans and whole-food supplement recommendations to support systemic balance and optimal health.
Lifestyle Education
Lifestyle education programs focus on sustainable health improvements through ergonomic training and movement pattern correction. We teach proper sleep positioning, lifting mechanics, and stress-reduction techniques tailored to individual needs. Patients learn to implement daily routines that support long-term musculoskeletal health and functional capacity.
Muscle Activation
Muscle Activation Technique (MAT) addresses muscular imbalances by identifying and correcting weakness patterns that limit joint mobility. This biomechanical approach improves movement efficiency and prevents compensatory patterns that lead to pain and dysfunction. Patients experience enhanced athletic performance and reduced injury risk through targeted muscle reactivation.
Therapeutic Yoga
Therapeutic yoga integrates physical postures with breathwork to improve flexibility, strength, and mental clarity. Our sessions address specific musculoskeletal conditions while promoting nervous system regulation. Patients learn modified poses and mindfulness techniques that support recovery from injuries and chronic pain conditions through holistic mind-body integration.

Always feel great after adjustments. I had a lot of pain in my lower back which hurt so bad it was hard to walk. I also had a ton of pain in shoulders down my arms and fingers, I could barely hold my arm out when I first started going. Now I have full range of motion with no pain! I feel great now and go back if it starts to act up. Dr. Gentner is the best!
