Chiropractic Adjustments
Manual adjustments restore proper spinal alignment and joint function, reducing nerve irritation and improving mobility. This technique addresses biomechanical imbalances that contribute to back pain, neck pain, and headaches. Our evidence-based approach combines traditional methods with modern analysis to ensure safe, effective treatment for patients of all ages.
Spinal Decompression
Cox Technic Flexion Distraction gently decompresses spinal discs to relieve pressure on nerves, ideal for herniated discs and sciatica. This non-invasive technique promotes nutrient flow to damaged tissues while maintaining structural integrity. Patients experience reduced inflammation and improved range of motion through targeted, controlled movements.
Custom Orthotics
Biomechanical assessments create personalized arch supports that correct gait imbalances and alleviate foot, knee, and back pain. Foam-cast impressions ensure precise fit while durable materials provide long-term structural support. Regular adjustments maintain optimal alignment as patients' needs evolve over time.
Kinesiology Taping
Spidertech tape applications reduce pain and inflammation by lifting skin microscopically to enhance lymphatic drainage. This technique supports muscle function while allowing controlled movement during recovery. Breathable cotton material with latex-free adhesive provides 3-5 days of continuous therapeutic benefit.
Therapeutic Ultrasound
High-frequency sound waves penetrate deep tissues to increase blood flow and accelerate healing of muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This modality effectively treats chronic inflammation and scar tissue adhesions. Treatments last 5-10 minutes per area, often combined with manual therapies for enhanced outcomes.
