Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments use both light force and high velocity techniques to correct spinal misalignments. We combine manual adjustments with adjunct therapies like electrical stimulation and mechanical traction for comprehensive pain relief. Patients receive personalized treatment plans that may include in-house exercise programs to enhance recovery and prevent future issues.
Cold Laser Therapy
Theralase cold laser therapy delivers specific light wavelengths to stimulate tissue healing and reduce inflammation. This non-invasive treatment penetrates deep into tissue structures to accelerate recovery from musculoskeletal injuries. Sessions typically last 2-20 minutes, with treatment courses varying based on injury severity and individual healing rates.
Custom Orthotics
We provide custom-fitted orthotics using 3D scanning technology to address biomechanical imbalances. These prescription shoe inserts stabilize foot alignment, reducing stress on knees, hips, and the spine. Our digital scanning system precisely measures arch imbalances to create orthotics that improve posture and alleviate related musculoskeletal pain.
Acupuncture Services
Our onsite acupuncture treatments complement chiropractic care by addressing pain and inflammation through traditional Chinese medicine techniques. Treatments can be scheduled back-to-back with adjustments or as standalone sessions, offering patients a holistic approach to pain management and wellness optimization.
Nutritional Counseling
We offer personalized nutritional guidance focusing on whole food nutrition and targeted supplementation. Our recommendations address specific health needs while considering lifestyle factors. We provide pharmaceutical-grade supplements and whole food-based options like Juice Plus+ to support overall wellness and recovery.
