Diversified adjusting (traditional)
This adjusting involves use of hands to help increase motion, decrease pain, and improve function. This is done by figuratively pressing a reset button for our brain to help reestablish a proper connection with our brains and the area being adjusted.
Extremity adjusting
Chiropractic can make a large difference on the way our arms, hands, legs, and feet move. Chiropractic care is not just limited to the spine and can be extremely beneficial for optimal movement of your extremities.
Previous injuries may compensate and alter the way we move and may need to be addressed with treatment to help you get better and not continue to have recurrent problems.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
– Decompression is a great therapy to help with things such as disc bulge or herniation (aka “slipped disc” “disc injury”), degenerative disc disease, degenerative joint disease, and other injuries that can be for recent or acute injuries or long term or chronic injuries.
– The process includes gentle stretching and can be extremely effective for neck or back injuries.
Sports Performance and Injuries
Injuries come in a variety of ways and in a variety of places. If sports performance is your goal, we specialize in protection and prevention of injury by finding weaknesses or faulty movement patterns throughout the body that could make you more prone to injury. Check out the Sports Tab for specifics and qualifications.
Evidence Based Education and Practice
Current research studies have changed the way health care is conducted. Having the most recent knowledge can help you get the care you deserve. Check out the Blog tab for some up to date research and health information.
Activator
– This type of adjustment allows for a more gentle approach for those who need a softer touch or are nervous about manual/hand adjustments.
– This tool also works well with acute injuries that may be to difficult to move the area with manual adjustments.
Rehabilitation
– Rehabilitation isn’t just for post surgery or large trauma. Every time you get hurt or have pain, your body is masking a problem or adapting to avoid pain and rehab helps to get you back. Click the button and watch or read what to expect rehabilitation.
– Exercise, stretching, and movement patterns can help change those adaptations and can help fix the problem at the source.
Kinesio Taping (Rock Tape/KT)
– You may have seen this tape on professional athletes, but not know what is it actually is. It is tape that stretches with the body and doesn’t restrict motion like braces or other tapes.
– There are multiple purposes of the tape including: decrease swelling by decompression on the tissue, decrease pain by changing the neurologic feedback to the brain (like rubbing your arm when you get hurt), and improving proprioception (your brain knowing where your body is in space).
Graston Technique (IASTM-instrument assisted soft tissue manipulation)
– This treatment is in a class of its own. It is used on soft tissue injuries such as tendons, ligaments, and muscles using a beveled metal tool.
– It helps to bring blood flow to the area of injury and stimulates the body to break up adhesions under the skin to allow the soft tissue to move freely and promote proper healing and movement.

Cupping and Flossing
– Cupping can improve healing by using decompression. It helps to decrease adhesions and pressure in an area of the body that aren’t allowing the layers of muscle, skin, and nerves to move freely on itself.
– Flossing (AKA voodoo floss) tries to accomplish some of the same improvements with the use of compression. The compression, with the work of your movement, helps get the muscle to push through some of the stiffness and then allows the area to move more freely when the compression is removed.
Manual Therapy and Muscle work
– There are various ways to get the muscles to relax, but a recent favorite is a massage gun. These are available for sell.
– Another type of muscle work is pin and stretch to try and get the muscles to free up some of the “sticky” or “tight” feeling.
Nutrition Supplements and Counseling
– This is an all encompassing general wellness supplement from natural products and one that the doctor uses and recommends often.
– In an ever changing world of nutrition, there are various safe and effective basics that can help you in promoting health and healing, but getting started on the right path can make all the difference down the road.
We accept a variety of insurances.
