Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic services use manual manipulation and advanced techniques to correct spinal misalignments and improve joint function. We treat conditions ranging from chronic pain to sports injuries using diversified, Thompson Drop, and Activator methods. Our approach combines physical adjustments with soft tissue therapy and rehabilitation exercises for comprehensive care.
Concussion Management
Certified in CCMI protocols, our concussion specialists provide comprehensive diagnosis and rehabilitation for traumatic brain injuries. We use vestibular testing, cognitive assessments, and personalized exercise programs to address symptoms like dizziness, headaches, and balance issues. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures safe return-to-activity protocols for patients of all ages.
Massage Therapy
Registered massage therapists provide customized treatments for pain relief and stress reduction using Swedish, deep tissue, and myofascial techniques. Our services address musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, and general wellness through targeted pressure and joint mobilization. We offer both therapeutic and relaxation-focused sessions tailored to individual needs.
GLA:D Program
This evidence-based program combines education and neuromuscular exercise to manage osteoarthritis symptoms. Certified instructors guide participants through 8 weeks of specialized training to improve joint function and reduce pain. The program includes personalized exercise plans and progress tracking to enhance mobility for knee, hip, and back arthritis sufferers.
Medical Acupuncture
Provided by chiropractors with advanced training, our acupuncture services use fine needles to stimulate healing and pain relief.
