Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments use hands-on spinal manipulation to improve joint mobility and alleviate pain. This treatment addresses misalignments causing back pain, neck pain, and headaches. Patients benefit from reduced inflammation and enhanced nervous system function through targeted manual therapy techniques.
Sports Injury Care
Specialized treatment for sports-related musculoskeletal injuries combines joint mobilization with soft tissue therapy. We address conditions like tennis elbow, ITB syndrome, and ligament sprains using evidence-based protocols. Recovery plans integrate rehabilitation exercises to restore function and prevent future injuries for athletes at all levels.
Prenatal Chiropractic Care
Gentle chiropractic treatments during pregnancy help manage low back pain and pelvic discomfort. Our specialized tables accommodate growing bellies while maintaining proper spinal alignment. This care supports optimal fetal positioning and eases common pregnancy-related musculoskeletal strains without medication.
Disc Herniation Treatment
Non-invasive treatment for disc herniations combines spinal adjustments with decompression techniques. We employ the Diversified method and Thompson drop table to reduce nerve compression. Patients receive posture education and core strengthening exercises to support long-term spinal health and prevent recurrence.
TMJ Therapy
Targeted treatment for temporomandibular joint disorders uses gentle mobilization techniques and muscle release therapy. We address both acute injuries and chronic conditions affecting jaw movement. Treatment plans include ergonomic advice to reduce teeth grinding and improve overall TMJ function.
