Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care utilizes Activator Methods for precise, non-force adjustments that address musculoskeletal conditions. This technique effectively treats back pain, neck pain, and joint issues while improving nervous system function. Patients benefit from improved mobility, reduced inflammation, and enhanced overall wellness through regular adjustments that maintain proper spinal alignment and biomechanics.
Massage Therapy
Registered Massage Therapist Dorothy Chan provides customized treatments using Swedish, deep tissue, and myofascial release techniques. Sessions improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and enhance recovery from injuries. Our therapeutic approach addresses specific conditions like frozen shoulder and fibromyalgia while complementing chiropractic adjustments for optimal results.
Pregnancy Chiropractic
Specialized prenatal adjustments using the Webster Technique help maintain pelvic balance during pregnancy. This gentle approach alleviates back pain, improves comfort, and may facilitate easier labor. Our care supports proper fetal positioning and addresses the unique biomechanical changes women experience during pregnancy and postpartum recovery.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments target pain management and wellness through strategic needle placement. This traditional practice effectively addresses chronic pain, reduces inflammation, and promotes natural healing. When combined with chiropractic care, it enhances treatment outcomes for conditions like sciatica, arthritis, and sports injuries through complementary therapeutic mechanisms.
Pediatric Chiropractic
Gentle chiropractic care for children focuses on proper spinal development and nervous system function. Our approach addresses posture issues, sports injuries, and common childhood conditions through safe, age-appropriate adjustments. Early intervention helps establish healthy biomechanics and may prevent future musculoskeletal problems while supporting overall wellness.
