Services
Spinal Manipulation
Spinal manipulation involves controlled thrusts to realign vertebrae, alleviating pain from misalignments caused by trauma or daily stress. This technique restores joint function and reduces nerve irritation. Patients experience improved mobility and reduced inflammation through targeted adjustments.
Auto Accident Treatment
Post-accident care addresses whiplash and soft-tissue injuries using spinal adjustments, cryotherapy, and rehabilitation. Early intervention prevents chronic pain by correcting subluxations and reducing muscle tension. Tailored protocols accelerate recovery for neck, back, and extremity pain.
Passive Rehabilitation
Passive therapies like electrical stimulation and hot/cold packs reduce acute pain and inflammation. These modalities prepare patients for active rehabilitation by relaxing muscles and improving circulation. Initial-phase treatments focus on symptom management before progressing to strengthening exercises.
Sciatica Relief
Sciatica treatment targets nerve compression through spinal adjustments and traction. By realigning discs and reducing pressure on nerve roots, patients achieve pain relief in the lower back, legs, and feet. Customized plans address both acute and chronic sciatic nerve pain.
Posture Correction
Posture correction utilizes the Pettibon System to restore natural spinal curves. Customized exercises and traction protocols address kyphosis, hypolordosis, and muscular imbalances. Improved alignment reduces strain on supporting structures and prevents recurring pain.
