Services
Arthrostim Therapy
Arthrostim Therapy uses a specialized instrument to improve joint range of motion through controlled impulses. This gentle technique benefits patients seeking non-forceful adjustments, including children and elderly individuals. The rapid 12-impulse-per-second treatment helps restore mobility and alleviate discomfort in specific joints.
Diversified Adjusting
Diversified Adjusting employs high-velocity, low-amplitude thrusts to restore proper joint movement. This hands-on technique targets spinal and joint misalignments, reducing pain and improving function. Dr. Dougans customizes each adjustment based on individual patient needs and conditions.
Laser Therapy
Laser Therapy applies specific light wavelengths to stimulate cellular energy production and accelerate healing. This non-thermal treatment reduces inflammation, alleviates chronic pain, and supports tissue repair for conditions like arthritis, sports injuries, and post-surgical recovery.
Inversion Traction
Inversion Traction uses a specialized table to decompress the spine while allowing concurrent soft tissue treatment. This technique relieves pressure on spinal discs, benefiting patients with herniations, facet syndrome, and chronic back pain through combined traction and manual therapy.
Soft Tissue Massage
Soft Tissue Massage addresses muscle tension and fascial restrictions using therapeutic techniques. Combined with stretching, this treatment improves circulation, reduces adhesions, and enhances recovery when integrated with chiropractic adjustments and rehabilitative exercises.
