Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic services focus on prevention and wellness through multiple techniques including Thompson, Diversified, Gonstead, and Activator methods. We specialize in prenatal and postpartum care using Webster technique to address pelvic alignment. Our approach combines adjustments with rehabilitative strategies to improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance nervous system function for patients of all ages and activity levels.
Mercier Therapy
This specialized visceral manipulation therapy addresses chronic pelvic pain and fertility concerns through gentle, non-invasive techniques. Our certified providers use abdominal massage to improve organ mobility, circulation, and function for women experiencing discomfort from surgical trauma, endometriosis, or reproductive health issues. The six-session program helps prepare the body for conception naturally or in conjunction with assisted reproductive technologies.
Postpartum Home Visits
We provide in-home chiropractic care for postpartum mothers and newborns within the critical first two weeks after birth. Our mobile services address alignment needs for both mother and baby, helping alleviate common issues like colic, torticollis, and feeding difficulties. This personalized care supports faster recovery for mothers while ensuring optimal skeletal development for infants in the comfort of their home environment.
MLS Laser Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses multiwave locked system technology to reduce inflammation and chronic pain conditions. Effective for musculoskeletal issues like plantar fasciitis, arthritis, and sports injuries, our MLS Laser Therapy promotes tissue repair and accelerates healing without medication or surgery. Sessions target specific areas of concern to restore mobility and decrease discomfort through photobiomodulation.
Graston Technique
Our clinicians use stainless steel instruments to detect and treat soft tissue restrictions and scar tissue adhesions. This evidence-based technique improves range of motion and reduces pain by breaking down myofascial restrictions from injuries, surgeries, or repetitive strain. Combined with rehabilitative exercises, Graston Technique accelerates recovery for sports injuries, tendonopathies, and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
