Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic services address musculoskeletal issues through manual adjustments and holistic treatments. We specialize in low back pain, whiplash recovery, frozen shoulder treatment, and vertigo management. Our team uses diverse techniques like Diversified, Active Release, and Graston to create personalized care plans. Patients receive comprehensive education about their treatment process and expected outcomes.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy sessions focus on improving mobility, reducing pain, and restoring function through evidence-based techniques. Our registered physiotherapists employ exercise therapy, Graston Technique, and TENS units to address post-surgical recovery, sports injuries, and chronic conditions. Treatment plans include home exercise routines and education to support long-term wellness and prevent future injuries.
Spinal Decompression
Using advanced KDT spinal decompression tables, we provide non-surgical relief for spinal disc issues. This therapy gently stretches the spine to create negative pressure, promoting disc rehydration and nerve decompression. Sessions are customized for neck or back conditions, with treatment frequency adjusted based on individual progress and acute needs.
Laser Therapy
Our GRT handheld laser system delivers non-invasive, pain-free treatment for soft tissue injuries and inflammation. This FDA-cleared therapy stimulates cellular repair to accelerate healing and reduce pain. Sessions typically last 5-10 minutes and are often combined with chiropractic adjustments for enhanced recovery from sports injuries and musculoskeletal conditions.
Custom Orthotics
We provide biomechanical evaluations and custom orthotics to address foot-related issues affecting overall posture and mobility. Using foam casting techniques, we create personalized arch supports that distribute pressure evenly across the feet. These orthotics help alleviate conditions like plantar fasciitis while improving knee, hip, and back alignment through proper foot foundation.
