Services

  • Hollistic Care

    We address the whole person by using a combination of chiropractic care, exercise rehabilitation, Various soft tissue techniques, and nutritional counseling.
  • Chiropractic Care

    Chiropractic care improves health by restoring proper functions to the nervous system.  Chiropractic adjustments will remove pressure off the nerve and restore function to the affected area.  Remember, the nervous system controls the whole body.

    The muscular system of your body provides for movement.  If there is an imbalance, the muscles will limit proper function and cause pain.  We accomplish this through our Active Pin & Stretch Techniques (APS) and physical rehabilitation.  The APS system has had a high success rate in the treatment of soft tissue injuries.  Our customized rehabilitation exercises help prevent injuries and shorten the recovery period needed to restore you back to optimal health.

  • Massage

    Massage is a systematic manual application of pressure and movement to the soft tissue of the body - skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia (the membrane surrounding muscle and muscle groups). Medical massage promotes the flow of blood and lymph, relieving tension, stimulating nerves, and stretching and loosening muscles.

    Our specialists in medical massage can provide a welcome relief from the symptoms of neck pain, tension, stress, back pain, headache, muscle pain, and some forms of chronic pain. Massage is also frequently recommended for the treatment of sports injuries and repetitive stress injuries.

    In our soothing environment, our licensed medical massage therapists (LMT) are ready to serve you using the latest techniques and methodologies. To make an appointment, please call or email us today.

  • Active Pin & Stretch Technique (APS)

    APS is a new cutting edge approach in treating injuries to muscles, tendons, nerves and surrounding soft tissues.  The APS system provides a way to diagnose and treat the underlying causes of symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, and burning.  Some examples of conditions that can be helped include carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic low back, neck pain and shoulder pain.

    APS is designed to accomplish 3 objectives:

    • restore motion of all soft tissues
    • release entrapped nerves, vasculature and lymphatics
    • re-establish optimal texture, resilience and function of soft tissues
    The doctor locates the lesions by palpation.  The affected tissue is trapped while the doctor takes the tissue from its shortened to lengthened position breaking up any adhesions. This motion is introduced to restore gliding between the tissues
  • Physiologic Therapeutics

    Modalities such as cold laser/low level light therapy, electric muscle stimulation, ultrasound, hot and ice packs are used to reduce pain and speed healing.
  • Neuromuscular Reeducation

    Individually prescribed exercises to improve balance, coordination, posture and proprioception.
