Our chiropractic therapies include:

Spinal manipulation or "adjustments" to return individual vertebrae to their proper position and motion. A chiropractor can restore the misaligned vertebrae to their proper position in the spinal column by applying manual force or thrust in a specific direction and location.

Massage therapy- a manipulation of the soft tissues of the body for therapeutic purposes. It uses a system of strokes that include gliding, kneading, friction, pressure, tapping and vibrating. In addition, massage therapists may engage in active and passive movements of the joints, use auxiliary mechanical devices, apply heat and cold in various forms, and instruct clients on exercises to achieve improved muscle tone circulation, and range of motion. Massage therapy melts away stress and tension, relieving associated headaches and muscular aches and pains. Massage therapy aids in the healing process from injury or over-use, and is an excellent form of preventive health care. Its purpose is to develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function and relieve pain.
Deep Tissue: releases the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contacted areas, either following or going across the grain of muscles, tendons and fascia. It is called deep tissue, because it also focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue.
Myofasical Release: is a form of bodywork that is manipulative in nature and seeks to rebalance the body by releasing tension in the fascia. Long, stretching strokes are utilized to release muscular tension.
Sports Massage: massage therapy focusing on muscle systems relevant to a particular sport.
Myotherapy or Neuromuscular Therapy): applies concentrated finger pressure to "trigger points" (painful irritated areas of spasm and pain in muscles).
Physiotherapy: uses massage, ultrasound, electromuscular stimulation, traction, plus hot and cold packs to promote early injury recovery.

Cryotherapy- is the application of ice, cold towels, ice massage or compresses with the intent of reducing temperatures of tissues directly on or below the skin's surface. Cooling causes the blood vessels to constrict, numbs painful areas and helps to relax muscle spasms. Cryotherapy helps to reduce swelling, inflammation and muscle spasms as well as numbing the affected area.
Diathermy- is a form of shortwave elector-magnetic energy. It is used to raise the temperature of soft tissues below the skin's surface. The Diathermy energy field passes through softer surface tissues and turns to heat when reaching more dense tissues. The heat increases circulation and helps to speed the healing process. It helps increase range of motion and decrease muscle spasm by relaxing muscles and connective tissues.
Superficial Heat-Heating pads, hot packs, hot water bottles, infrared lamps and warm moist towels are frequently used to raise the temperature of the soft tissues directly below the skin. When heat is applied to the surface of the skin, the blood vessels below the surface dilate and relax the tissues. This temporarily relieves painful symptoms, increasing circulation and relaxing muscles. This can be helpful before and after treatments and exercises.
Electro-Muscle Stimulation- is a special form of electrical current. It is administered at the site of soft tissue injuries, such as muscle injuries, to block pain. Low level electrical current is induced into the tissues to reduce swelling. Electro-Muscle Stimulation helps to strengthen muscles and reduces painful symptoms.
Ultrasound- uses high-frequency sound waves and it is administered in the region of soft tissue injuries. The sound waves, some moving with a frequency of 1,000,000 waves per second, penetrate into deep into the tissues. The vibrations and heat break down and disperse unhealthy calcium and other hard tissue accumulations, speeds metabolism and improves blood flow and reduces nerve root irritation.

Customized exercises- prescribed for stretching and strengthening of the back and/or neck to promote stability and help prevent reoccurrence of the injury.
