Chiropractic Therapy
Our chiropractic therapy addresses joint stiffness, muscle tightness, and mobility issues through non-invasive adjustments. By restoring proper spinal mechanics and soft tissue function, we reduce pain and prevent degenerative changes. Patients benefit from improved range of motion and long-term joint health through our 'motion is lotion' philosophy.
SFMA Assessment
Selective Functional Movement Assessment identifies dysfunctional movement patterns contributing to pain. This systematic evaluation guides targeted interventions for musculoskeletal issues. We use SFMA to uncover hidden imbalances and create effective treatment plans addressing regional interdependence in the body.
Active Release Technique
ART resolves soft tissue injuries by breaking up scar tissue adhesions through precise manual therapy. This movement-based technique restores normal tissue function and mobility. Patients experience rapid relief from conditions like tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and nerve compression injuries through our hands-on approach.
Dry Needling
Functional dry needling targets muscle trigger points causing chronic pain and nerve irritation. By eliciting muscle twitch responses, we release tension and reboot neuromuscular function. This treatment effectively addresses referred pain patterns and restores normal movement mechanics.
Exercise Therapy
Our phased corrective exercise programs address pain cycles through inflammation management, mobility restoration, and functional strength training. Tailored to individual imbalances, this therapy rebuilds movement patterns and prevents reinjury. We combine movement analysis with progressive strengthening for lasting results.

Hello, I am a high school baseball player and have experienced back pain before. I started to get worried about how long I'd be out and not playing the sport I love. My father has gone to Dr. Green in the past and loved it, so I decided to give it a try. In just a few weeks, I was back and playing 100% thanks to Active Chiropractic. A couple weeks ago, I started to feel some Achilles pain and was truly nervous because it felt serious. Dr.
Green handled it very well, gave me a few exercises to do at home, and in just a week and a half, I was shockingly surprised the progress and how much healthier I was. If you start to feel any discomfort, go to Dr. Green now and Active Chiropractic.

I called Active Chiropractic because of an urgent lower back issue and they were able to see me the very next day. I was set up to see them twice a week for the last five weeks and I can say that my pain level went from a 9/10 to a 0/1. What I have loved about my appointments are not only do they align you but the physical therapy & exercises I leave with to do on my own are great. I'm feeling much better and would definitely recommend making an appointment with this practice if you are looking for a chiropractor.

This place was life changing for me. After years dealing with chronic pain and innumerable chiropractic adjustments, Dr. Green was able to diagnose my problem in my first visit. Once he had figured out the cause, he figured out how to deal with it. Finally I am mostly pain free, with a blueprint for a pain free future! Dr. Hancock can change a bad day into a productive day with a 15 minute adjustment. And Maria can massage away any lingering pain you may experience! These people are like family to me!
