Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care utilizes state-of-the-art techniques for spinal correction, including Gonstead, Activator, and Cox methods. These non-invasive treatments address misalignments, relieve nerve pressure, and improve mobility. With over 70 years of combined experience, our doctors deliver precise adjustments tailored to individual needs, from acute injuries to chronic conditions.
Acupuncture
With over 50 years of combined experience, our certified practitioners use acupuncture to treat pain and neurological conditions. This ancient practice balances energy pathways through needle insertion or non-needle techniques, promoting natural healing. We address conditions like migraines, sciatica, and joint pain while maintaining strict hygiene and safety standards.
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services combine manual techniques with therapeutic exercises for musculoskeletal recovery. Certified therapist Kirsten Becker specializes in myofascial release and post-injury rehabilitation. Treatments include decompression therapy, therapeutic exercises, and modalities to restore mobility and prevent future injuries through targeted strengthening programs.
Nutritional Counseling
Dr. Dean Renneke provides personalized nutritional programs based on individual health needs. We offer evidence-based recommendations for supplements, dietary choices, and lifestyle modifications that support musculoskeletal health. Our approach helps patients optimize recovery and maintain wellness through proper nutrition and metabolic balance.
Massage Therapy
Our therapeutic massage treatments target musculoskeletal pain through customized techniques. Sessions improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and relieve muscle tension while promoting relaxation. Treatments are tailored to specific conditions like sports injuries, chronic pain, and postural imbalances, complementing other therapeutic interventions.
