Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments use manual techniques, Activator devices, and Thompson drop-table methods to correct spinal misalignments. These treatments relieve nerve pressure causing pain, numbness, and mobility issues while improving overall nervous system function. Patients receive personalized adjustment plans addressing acute injuries and chronic conditions like herniated discs and repetitive strain injuries.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy addresses musculoskeletal dysfunction through hands-on techniques targeting muscles, ligaments, and joints. We employ strain-counterstrain, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy to resolve soft tissue restrictions causing back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and sports injuries. This approach restores normal tissue function and movement patterns without invasive procedures.
Activator Technique
The Activator Technique delivers precise, low-force adjustments using a handheld device. This FDA-approved method effectively treats joint dysfunction and nerve compression with controlled thrusts that minimize muscle resistance. It's particularly suitable for seniors, children, and patients preferring gentler care while maintaining therapeutic effectiveness for conditions like sciatica and joint arthritis.
SASTM Therapy
SASTM uses specialized instruments to detect and treat soft tissue restrictions causing pain and limited mobility. This technique breaks down scar tissue and fascial adhesions contributing to chronic pain, tendonitis, and post-surgical recovery challenges. Combined with stretching protocols, it restores normal tissue texture and function through targeted mechanical stimulation.
Therapeutic Cupping
Therapeutic cupping creates localized suction to lift connective tissues and increase blood flow to painful areas. This technique reduces muscle tension, improves circulation, and promotes healing for chronic back pain, shoulder stiffness, and sports-related soft tissue injuries. Sessions integrate movement therapy to enhance tissue mobility and pain relief outcomes.
