By combining chiropractic adjustments with therapeutic modalities, we help reduce pain, improve mobility, promote healing, and restore function so you can get back to doing what you love.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. This advanced therapy may help improve circulation, reduce pain, break down scar tissue, and encourage the repair of damaged tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues.
Shockwave therapy is commonly used for chronic musculoskeletal conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, shoulder pain, Achilles tendon injuries, and other soft tissue conditions that have not responded to conservative treatment.
Ultrasound Therapy
Therapeutic ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to deliver gentle heat deep into injured tissues. This treatment helps improve circulation, reduce inflammation, decrease muscle stiffness, and promote healing in damaged muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Ultrasound therapy is commonly recommended for patients recovering from soft tissue injuries and other musculoskeletal conditions.
Electric Muscle Stimulation (E-Stim)
Electric Muscle Stimulation (E-Stim) uses low-level electrical impulses to stimulate muscles and nerves. This therapy helps reduce pain, relieve muscle spasms, improve circulation, and encourage proper muscle function during the healing process.
E-Stim can also help prevent muscle weakness while supporting recovery from injury.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is a hands-on therapy that targets tight connective tissue, known as fascia, which can become restricted due to injury, overuse, or chronic tension. Using gentle, sustained pressure, our chiropractor helps release restrictions, improve flexibility, increase circulation, and restore normal movement.
This treatment is especially beneficial for patients experiencing muscle tightness, stiffness, or limited mobility.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger point therapy focuses on releasing tight knots within muscles that can contribute to pain, stiffness, and restricted movement. By applying targeted pressure to these sensitive areas, we help improve blood flow, reduce muscle tension, relieve discomfort, and restore normal muscle function.
This therapy can be especially effective for relieving muscle pain in the neck, shoulders, back, and other commonly affected areas.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical therapy that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on spinal discs and surrounding nerves. By creating space between the vertebrae, this treatment may help reduce pain associated with herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, pinched nerves, and chronic neck or back discomfort.
Spinal decompression is often recommended as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for qualifying patients.
