We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing the latest chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. Our team will recommend a patient-specific treatment plan that will help alleviate your immediate aches and pains, while also working to correct the underlying cause of your body’s pain and dysfunction. Below are just some of the tools available to implement in each treatment plan:
One of the most important tools we utilize for any chronic or acute injury is physical rehab. We teach our patients special “blueprint” exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health. We often find it helpful to “coach” our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.
Trigger points are discrete irritable spots located in the muscle that produce pain locally and at times in a “referred pattern” meaning pain affects neighboring areas to the irritated muscle. This can feel like knots of tense muscle and is associated with tension headaches, fibromyalgia, and acute injury. Trigger point injects is a procedure using local anesthetic and other medications injected into the muscle to deliver pain relieve at the source of the irritation. This procedure is performed in minutes and can long-lasting with the right course of treatment.
Joint injections- Knee and shoulder injuries including ligament tears, tears to the meniscus and arthritis will cause severe pain. Joint injections use local anesthetics and often steroids to decrease inflammation and fluid in a joint from injury or arthritis. These injections are safe and can often cause long lasting relief if not resolution to injury and pain to the joints. This allows for immediate pain relief and increased mobility. When paired with rehab therapy the results can sometimes prelude surgery and allow patients to return back to their active lifestyle.
Sports injuries can result from accidents, poor stretching habits or overuse. We treat sports injuries by getting to the underlying cause of the dysfunction and correcting it. We utilize in house X ray and will order advanced imaging if needed. Our team tailors each treatment plan for the athlete and injury. By demonstrating foam rolling and active stretching exercises, rehab therapy will gradually increase your function capacity and will help avoid new injuries. We use medication, when necessary, with prescription strength medication or procedures in office if necessary. Conditions we treat are:
The 3D active Trac Decompression unit consists of an adjustable treatment table equipped with a traction force generator. Spinal decompression therapy, or non-surgical disc repair, is designed to exert a therapeutic distraction force on the patient’s spine to relieve pressures on structures that may be causing pain. It produces the forces and positions required to cause decompression of the intervertebral discs, that is, unloading due to distraction and positioning. Spinal decompression also stretches ligaments and tendons to increase the range of motion and flexibility. Patients usually report a dramatic reduction in pain after only a few treatments. To speed your recovery, we may also incorporate some spinal stabilization exercises and core strengthening. Conditions that may be treated include:

The thyroid gland is a small butterfly shaped organ in the front of your neck. We like to think of it as the “body’s thermometer” because of all the important features the thyroid helps regulate. It controls body temperature, metabolism, energy levels, contributes to digestion, increases fat breakdown, regulates hair growth and contributes to one’s overall mood. The thyroid oversees the body telling all the other organs to get to work and is critical for your overall health. We test and treat thyroid diseases including hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s. Once a diagnosis has been made, we customize your treatment plan to compensate for the lack of hormone secreted by your thyroid gland. We don’t treat lab results we treat the patient, ensuring your symptoms resolve along with the normalization of your thyroid hormone levels.
