Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments restore proper joint function through manual manipulation techniques. Using the Palmer method with drop table assistance, we address misalignments causing pain or restricted movement. This non-invasive treatment improves range of motion, reduces nerve irritation, and promotes natural healing processes in the body.
Functional Rehabilitation
Functional rehabilitation focuses on correcting movement patterns to prevent recurring injuries. We combine Selective Functional Movement Assessment with corrective exercises to improve mobility and stability. This approach helps patients regain strength and confidence in daily activities and athletic performance.
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets muscle trigger points to relieve tension and improve circulation. This technique effectively treats chronic pain conditions by releasing tight muscle bands and promoting tissue healing. Sessions incorporate post-treatment stretching for lasting results.
Movement Screening
Movement screening identifies functional limitations through standardized assessments like the Functional Movement Screen. This evaluation helps create targeted treatment plans addressing specific mobility deficits that contribute to pain or injury risk in daily activities.
Corrective Exercise
Corrective exercise programs develop strength and proper movement patterns after injury recovery. We prescribe individualized routines combining stretching, stabilization, and progressive loading techniques to reinforce treatment effects and prevent future issues through improved biomechanics.
