Chiropractic adjustments
A chiropractic adjustment occurs when a short, quick force is applied to the joints in order to correct a misalignment, increase range of motion, or release pressure on nerves.
Chiropractors use different methods to perform chiropractic adjustments. Some may use their hands to "pop" the joints back into place, others may use a drop table or activator, still many rely on a more gentle stretching to ease the joints to their proper position.
Regardless of the specific spinal manipulation method used, the goal of a chiropractic adjustment is to restore proper alignment to the joints and allow the body to heal naturally.
myofascial release therapy
For many individuals, pain can be debilitating and detrimental to a persons quality of life. Chiropractors, as well as many physical therapists and licensed massage therapists, use manual therapy to help target acute and chronic types of pain. It is a technique that uses skilled hand and passive movements to help mobilize and manipulate soft tissue, improve range of motion, reduce swelling and inflammation, as well as promote healing and relaxation.
cupping
Cupping therapy is a healing method that utilizes suction to pull on your skin and increase blood flow to the affected areas.
It aids in reducing pain, muscle tightness, and help to improve circulation and range of motion.
Cupping can be used static or dynamically, and can be coupled with exercise to help with muscle recovery.
dry needling & Acupuncture
Dry Needling is a technique utilizing a thin needle to penetrate the skin and stimulates underlying trigger points to help release and relieve pain and muscle tension.
Acupuncture is an Eastern medicine technique, that uses needles to open up your Chi or healing energy, that may affect your nervous system. It also helps to stimulates a release of endorphins, which are your brain’s natural painkillers, to help relieve pain and muscle tension.
electrical muscle stimulation
Electrical muscle stimulation sends currents through the skin and into the muscles to reduce pain, stimulation tissue healing, and helps to strengthen muscles.
It can help to either fatigue muscles in order to decrease muscle pain and spasms or to improve muscles that are weak and are not functioning properly.

intersegmental traction
Our intersegmental traction table provides amazing benefits for patients with back pain. Intersegmental traction tables gently help to reestablish the normal ranges of the body’s spine and aids to facilitate muscle relaxation and reduce muscle spasms.
The intersegmental table operates by a dual roller moving up and down the muscles on either side of the spine, by mobilizing the spinal column while simultaneously stretching the ligaments and muscles.
The rolling contact is constant and works electronically; thereby, improving balance, strength, and mobility.
