Services
Spinal Adjustments
Our spinal adjustments use controlled thrusts to realign vertebrae, relieving pain and improving mobility. Dr. DeSantis employs diversified, activator, and Thompson techniques tailored to individual needs. Patients often experience immediate relief from back, neck, and joint discomfort while restoring natural spinal function.
Therapeutic Exercises
Customized exercise programs strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and prevent re-injury. These home-based routines complement in-office treatments, accelerating recovery from sports injuries, postural issues, and chronic pain conditions through targeted movement therapy.
Kinesiology Taping
Kinesiology tape supports injured muscles and joints while reducing swelling. This non-restrictive method enhances proprioception, allowing continued activity during healing for sports injuries, sprains, and post-surgical recovery without limiting range of motion.
McKenzie Method
This evidence-based approach identifies movement patterns causing pain through assessment and patient-led exercises. It educates individuals on self-treatment techniques for disc injuries, sciatica, and posture-related conditions, minimizing required office visits.
Sports Injury Care
Specialized treatment for sports-related injuries combines joint manipulation, soft tissue therapy, and performance-specific exercises. We address common issues like shin splints, tennis elbow, and ligament strains while providing prevention strategies for athletes at all levels.
