WHAT WE DO

In addition to chiropractic adjustments, we have a number of options for treatment.

Cold Laser, Active Release Technique, "Graston", Kinesiotaping, Running Analysis, and Rehabilitative Exercises are just a few of the tools in our ever-expanding toolkit, including our latest addition Metabolic VO2max testing.

Chiropractic Adjustments

During your visit to our office, our doctors use their hands to examine your joints and muscles, ensuring everything is moving smoothly and within its full range of motion. No joint is too small—our chiropractors have studied all the joints in your body, so whether it’s your toe, knee, hip, wrist, elbow, ankle, finger, low back, or neck that’s bothering you, we can help.

Our doctors are trained in multiple techniques, so whether you prefer the classic diversified adjustment (where a “pop” may be heard), a drop-piece adjustment (gravity-assisted), or a gentle non-force technique such as SOT or Activator, there’s a method to suit your needs. You and our team will discuss your preferences and decide together the best path for your care.

Soft Tissue Treatment

• Active Release Technique (ART)

• Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (“Graston”)

Bones connect to muscles and vice versa, so treating one without the other addresses only half the problem. In addition to chiropractic adjustments, our chiropractors also work on the surrounding soft tissues, which may include stretching, activating muscles, or breaking up adhesions/scar tissue.

Our team is certified in Active Release Technique (ART), a targeted approach that ensures your muscles, ligaments, tendons, and fascia glide and slide properly during movement. We also provide instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (Graston) to promote structured healing. Together, these techniques help all levels of tissue work in harmony—because good movement = pain-free movement.

Cold Laser (Low-Level Laser Therapy)

Europeans began researching the therapeutic benefits of cold laser, a small range of the light spectrum just under infrared, in the 1970s. Our doctors use a Class 3B laser, a high-powered unit within the classification of cold lasers. Although the light can penetrate up to two inches into tissue, you won’t feel anything during treatment (there’s no danger of burns, hence the term “cold” laser), as most benefits happen at a cellular level. Research indicates the following benefits of cold laser therapy:

• Increased energy production: Cells, including those that make collagen and repair damaged muscles, replicate faster, improving elasticity and tensile strength. Injuries heal faster and stronger.

• Boosted immune response: White blood cells and macrophages increase, helping your body reduce inflammation and swelling so tissues can heal efficiently.

• Enhanced nerve healing: Cold laser therapy promotes faster nerve regeneration.

• Improved circulation: Increased blood flow brings more nutrients to tissues, accelerating recovery.

• Pain relief: Cold laser promotes endorphin release while reducing inflammatory hormones, leaving you feeling better within hours.

Kinesiotaping

To help you feel your best between visits, our chiropractors may use kinesiotape and/or rehabilitative exercises to reinforce treatment. Modern tape comes in various colors, stretch capacities, and materials. It can provide structural support, reinforce movement patterns, give neurological feedback, expedite the removal of inflammatory chemicals, and restrict movement to promote healing.

Our team is certified in multiple taping techniques, including Functional Movement Taping (FMT) and Functional Taping for Musculoskeletal Injuries (FTMI), allowing for a customized approach as needed.

Running Analysis

With extensive experience as runners and triathletes, our doctors combine personal experience with professional education in running biomechanics. While in chiropractic college, our team won national recognition for a presentation on minimalist footwear and its impact on movement and injury. We stay current through continuing education via The Running Clinic.

Running analysis may include posture, cadence, and forefoot vs. heel strike assessment, helping identify tweaks that reduce stress on your body, prevent injury, and support your training goals. Email the office if you’re interested in having your running style evaluated.

Rehabilitative Exercise

Exercise is medicine. Whether you need stabilization, stretching, or to learn a new movement pattern, our doctors prescribe individualized rehabilitative exercises as part of your treatment plan. This might include a new cardio routine, or targeted movements like hip-hinges to relieve low back pain. Our chiropractors explain, demonstrate, and guide you through each exercise, empowering you to continue treatment effectively at home.

Metabolic V02max testing

Metabolic Rate (MR) Testing is great for providing real data on what your body and metabolism are doing at rest and/or when active, which can inform your diet and physical training, or catch a limiting factor in your breathing or cardiac capacity.
