Following the history and examination on your initial visit, we will work to identify the source of your pain and then direct our treatment to most effectively correct the problem.

Below is a list of common conditions which we often see in the office and successfully treat.

1. Low Back Pain - Chiropractic care, Neurodynamics, and Active Release Techniques (ART®) form a comprehensive treatment approach for low back pain. Chiropractic adjustments correct spinal misalignments, easing pressure on nerves and discs. Neurodynamic techniques improve nerve mobility and function, addressing radiating pain. ART® targets muscle adhesions and tightness, enhancing flexibility and reducing discomfort. This integrated approach not only alleviates symptoms but also promotes long-term spinal health and improved mobility for individuals suffering from low back pain.
2. Sciatica – Chiropractic care, Neurodynamics, and Active Release Techniques (ART®) are effective in treating sciatic pain. Chiropractic adjustments align the spine, reducing pressure on the sciatic nerve. Neurodynamic techniques enhance nerve mobility and alleviate tension along the nerve pathway. ART® targets muscular adhesions and tightness around the sciatic nerve, promoting circulation and reducing inflammation. This comprehensive approach not only relieves acute pain but also addresses underlying causes, supporting recovery, and preventing recurrence of sciatic symptoms.
3. Neck Pain – Chiropractic adjustments and Active Release Techniques (ART®) for neck pain involve spinal adjustments to improve alignment and ART to target soft tissue issues. ART® uses specific movements to release tension and scar tissue in muscles and ligaments, enhancing mobility, reducing pain, and promoting faster recovery.
4. Headaches - Chiropractic care, Neurodynamics, and Active Release Techniques (ART®) for headaches involve a comprehensive approach. Chiropractic adjustments correct spinal misalignments, Neurodynamics address nerve mobility and tension, and ART® targets soft tissue restrictions. Together, these therapies improve spinal function, reduce nerve irritation, and release muscle tightness, offering effective relief from tension headaches and migraines.
5. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - Chiropractic care for carpal tunnel syndrome involves manual therapy techniques to the wrist, hand, forearm, and/or spine to alleviate pressure on the median nerve. Techniques may include spinal manipulation, ART®, Neurodynamics and/or exercises to improve posture and reduce symptoms like pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling.
6. Tennis Elbow Pain - Chiropractic adjustments, Neurodynamics, and Active Release Techniques (ART®) provide an integrated treatment for tennis elbow. Chiropractic adjustments align the joints, reducing stress on the elbow. Neurodynamic techniques improve nerve mobility, addressing any nerve-related pain. ART focuses on releasing muscle and tendon adhesions, promoting healing and restoring function, resulting in comprehensive relief from tennis elbow symptoms.
7. Plantar Fasciitis Pain - Chiropractic care, Neurodynamics, and Active Release Techniques (ART) offer a multifaceted approach to treating plantar fasciitis pain. Chiropractic adjustments realign the foot and ankle joints, reducing stress on the plantar fascia. Neurodynamic techniques enhance nerve mobility, addressing any nerve-related components of the pain. ART targets and releases adhesions in the plantar fascia and surrounding tissues, improving flexibility and promoting healing. Together, these therapies provide effective relief and support recovery from plantar fasciitis.
8. Nerve Entrapment Pain - Chiropractic care, Neurodynamics, and Active Release Techniques (ART®) combine to address nerve entrapment pain. Chiropractic adjustments realign the affected joints, alleviating pressure on the entrapped nerve. Neurodynamic techniques improve nerve mobility and reduce compression. ART targets muscular and soft tissue restrictions, promoting nerve glide and reducing symptoms. This integrated approach aims to relieve pain and restore normal nerve function for improved quality of life.

1. Chiropractic Adjusting or spinal manipulative therapy involves manual adjustments to the spine to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall health. Practitioners use hands-on techniques to manipulate joints, aiming to restore proper alignment and function to the musculoskeletal system.
2. Active Release Techniques (ART®) is a form of manual therapy that aims to treat soft tissue injuries and improve mobility. Practitioners use hands-on techniques to apply tension to specific muscles while the patient moves through a range of motion, targeting adhesions and scar tissue to alleviate pain and enhance performance.
3. Clinical Neurodynamics is a therapy approach focusing on the mechanics and physiology of the nervous system. It involves assessing and treating nerve-related pain through specific movements, stretches, and exercises to reduce neural tension, improve nerve mobility, and restore normal neural function.
4. Percussion Therapy uses rapid, repetitive pulses delivered by a handheld device to massage muscles. It helps increase blood flow, reduce muscle soreness, and improve range of motion. Commonly used by chiropractors, physical therapists, and athletes, it accelerates recovery and relieves tension by targeting deep muscle layers.
5. Therapeutic Exercise - refers to specific physical activities prescribed by healthcare professionals, such as physical therapists or chiropractors, to restore or improve strength, flexibility, endurance, and overall function. These exercises are tailored to individual needs and conditions, aiming to alleviate pain, improve mobility, prevent injury, and enhance overall health and well-being through structured and progressive movements.
6. Kinesiology Taping involves applying elastic tape to the skin over muscles or joints to provide support and stability without restricting movement. It aims to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and enhance performance during sports or daily activities. The tape's adhesive properties and stretchiness mimic skin elasticity, promoting circulation and supporting muscles and joints during healing and recovery processes.
