Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments restore proper spinal alignment and nervous system function through precise manual techniques. This treatment alleviates pain from disc injuries, sciatica, and joint restrictions while improving overall mobility. Patients benefit from reduced inflammation, improved range of motion, and enhanced nervous system communication, making it effective for both acute injuries and chronic conditions.
Active Release Technique
ART treatments address soft tissue injuries by combining targeted pressure with movement to break down scar tissue and adhesions. This technique improves blood flow and flexibility in muscles, fascia, and nerves, accelerating recovery from repetitive strain injuries and sports-related trauma. Patients experience reduced pain and faster healing through this specialized manual therapy approach.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy uses controlled suction to decompress soft tissues and stimulate circulation in affected areas. This treatment relieves muscle tension, reduces pain from chronic tightness, and promotes healing by increasing blood flow to injured tissues. Patients benefit from improved range of motion and accelerated recovery from musculoskeletal injuries through this ancient therapeutic technique.
Functional Strengthening
Our functional strengthening programs target muscular imbalances that contribute to chronic pain and movement dysfunction. Through customized exercise plans, we improve stability, correct postural issues, and enhance overall physical performance. This approach builds resilience against future injuries while addressing current biomechanical limitations affecting daily activities.
Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy utilizes specific wavelengths to stimulate cellular energy production and accelerate tissue healing. This non-invasive treatment reduces inflammation, improves circulation, and enhances muscle recovery through biostimulation of cellular processes. Patients experience pain relief and improved tissue regeneration through regular sessions using medical-grade LED light panels.

The admins are amazing and Dr. James is phenomenal! He always goes out of his way to help patients find comfort in his office. Just the other day he helped a new mom carry her baby's car seat to and from her car.

Report
The new receptionists are not knowing what they're doing. They were not able to provide me with the adequate report showing the services I used and the associated cost I paid with my FSA card to submit it to my FSA. After 45 mins waiting some reports given to me which still included other outstanding charges too. Then, they booked me for a wrong date and called me today to yell at me why I'm not there. I still will continue to go there because I love Dr Steve and Mathew. They are amazing, friendly, and pretty skilled.
