Services
Dry Needling
Dry Needling targets muscle tension and trigger points to reduce pain and improve mobility. Our therapists use thin needles to stimulate healing and restore function, often combined with manual therapy for lasting results. This technique benefits conditions like neck pain, plantar fasciitis, and sports injuries.
Spinal Manipulation
Spinal Manipulation improves joint mobility and alleviates pain through controlled force applied to the spine. Our therapists use this technique to treat neck stiffness, low back pain, and headaches, enhancing range of motion while integrating corrective exercises for long-term recovery.
Mobilization with Movement
Mobilization with Movement restores pain-free joint function by combining passive mobilization with active patient movement. This method effectively addresses shoulder impingement, ankle sprains, and knee pain, promoting faster recovery through targeted manual therapy and movement correction.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping Therapy uses suction to decompress soft tissues, improving circulation and reducing muscle stiffness. Applied alongside other manual techniques, it relieves chronic pain in areas like the back and shoulders while enhancing overall mobility and recovery.
Electro Dry Needling
Electro Dry Needling combines needle insertion with electrical stimulation to decrease pain and inflammation. This advanced technique accelerates healing for conditions like arthritis and sports injuries, optimizing joint function when paired with manual therapy and corrective exercises.
