-
COMMONLY USED TO TREAT:
Whiplash and auto accident injuries
Sports injuries
Back and neck pain

Sciatica
Pinched nerves
Headaches and migraines
Joint pain (shoulders, hips, knees)
Pain related to poor posture

HOW IT WORKS:
Chiropractic adjustments, also known as spinal manipulation, involve gentle, precise movements to realign vertebrae that have shifted due to daily strain or trauma like car accidents. Misalignments can disrupt the nervous system, leading to pain, tension, and reduced function.Using hands or instruments, chiropractors apply quick pressure to restore alignment—often with little to no discomfort. You might hear a popping sound, called joint cavitation, which simply releases built-up gas in the joint.
Regular adjustments help the body function at its best by supporting natural movement, nervous system flow, and overall well-being.

HOW IT WORKS:
DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy offers a gentle, non-surgical alternative to relieve lower back pain, neck pain, sciatica, herniated discs, and degenerative disc conditions. It works by gently stretching the spine to reduce pressure, improve blood flow, and promote healing.Each session lasts under 20 minutes and is typically done 3 times a week for about a month. Many patients feel relief within 6–10 sessions, with most completing the program in 8 weeks.
DTS Therapy includes targeted exercises and supportive treatments like heat, muscle stimulation, and ultrasound to strengthen stabilizing muscles and prevent future flare-ups. With consistent care and follow-up, over 75% of patients report long-term pain relief or effective pain management

COMMONLY USED FOR:
Restoring strength, flexibility, and function—getting you back to doing what you love, pain-free.HOW IT WORKS:
Therapeutic exercise plays a vital role in chiropractic injury care by helping patients recover from musculoskeletal injuries and restore proper function. Whether you're healing from a herniated disc, sciatica, whiplash, or a sports-related injury, these targeted exercises are designed to reduce pain, improve mobility, and rebuild strength.Chiropractors develop personalized exercise programs to support injured areas—enhancing joint stability, correcting posture, and preventing future strain. In-office sessions often include guided stretching, core strengthening, and functional movement training. Patients are also given home exercise routines to continue their recovery between visits.
These exercises are essential to long-term healing. By staying consistent and communicating openly with your chiropractor, you can accelerate recovery, prevent reinjury, and regain the strength and mobility needed to get back to your daily activities pain-free.

In our office, we utilize digital imaging for comprehensive spine assessments. Most insurance carriers cover this convenient on-site service. We can provide information on coverage details by reviewing your insurance information before your appointment. Digital imaging allows for a detailed examination of the spine's structure. In rare cases, based on the initial findings, the chiropractor may recommend additional advanced imaging studies such as an MRI or other diagnostic scans for a more in-depth analysis of the spine's condition. This approach ensures a thorough evaluation and, when necessary, guides the development of a precise and tailored chiropractic treatment plan for optimal patient care.

COMMONLY USED TO TREAT:
Joint injuries
Muscle spasms
Soft tissue injuries
Tendonitis and ligament sprains
Scar tissue buildup
Chronic muscle tightness
Inflammation and swelling
Strains from overuse or repetitive motion
Pain and stiffness from musculoskeletal injuries
HOW IT WORKS:
Ultrasound therapy in our office uses sound waves to gently vibrate and massage soft tissues and muscles. Unlike diagnostic ultrasound, this therapeutic version is designed to support the body’s natural recovery process by stimulating deep tissue activity.Some ultrasound treatments also produce a mild heating effect, helping to relax muscle tension. This combination of vibration and heat promotes healing at the cellular level and enhances overall recovery.
-
COMMONLY USED TO TREAT:
Muscle spasms and tightness
Soft tissue injuries
Swelling and inflammation
Trigger points and muscle knots
Acute and chronic pain
Post-injury muscle recovery
HOW IT WORKS:
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is a therapeutic technique that uses a low-level electrical current to stimulate muscle and soft tissue activity. The current encourages the body to release natural pain-relieving chemicals, such as endorphins, and can help promote relaxation in tense or overactive muscles.This therapy is typically applied in short sessions and is designed to support the body’s natural healing process by enhancing circulation and muscle response.
-
COMMONLY USED TO TREAT:
Muscle spasms
Ligament sprains
Soft tissue injuries
Joint inflammation
Post-surgical muscle re-education
Chronic pain from musculoskeletal conditions
Acute strain-related discomfort
Circulation issues in injured tissues
HOW IT WORKS:
Interferential Electrotherapy uses low-level electrical currents delivered at a shallow, simulated frequency to gently stimulate soft tissues. The sensation is very light, and most patients find the treatment comfortable and relaxing.This therapy also encourages the body’s natural healing response by stimulating the release of endorphins, supporting overall recovery and well-being.
-
COMMONLY USED TO TREAT:
Muscle spasms (neck, back, and more)
Soft tissue injuries
Acute and chronic pain
Tendon and ligament strains
Inflammation and swelling
Post-surgical healing
Repetitive strain injuries
Nerve-related discomfort
Joint pain and stiffness
HOW IT WORKS:
Microcurrent Therapy uses extremely low levels of electrical current to produce signals that mimic the body’s natural bioelectrical activity. The current is so minimal it is typically unnoticeable during treatment.This gentle, non-invasive therapy supports the body’s natural processes and is administered in short sessions designed to promote overall wellness and recovery.
-
COMMONLY USED TO TREAT:
Back pain and muscle spasmsSprained or inflamed joints (knee, hip, shoulder, etc.)
Frozen shoulder
Bursitis
Arthritis (including rheumatoid arthritis)
Spinal disc problems
Muscle contractures
Restricted joint movement or stiffness
Irritated or compressed nerves
Post-injury or post-surgical stiffness
Spastic conditions of the stomach, gallbladder, and intestines
HOW IT WORKS:
Shortwave diathermy emits comfortable heat by generating an electromagnetic field that penetrates deep into body tissues. This deep heat promotes relaxation, enhances circulation, and supports the body’s natural recovery processes.The therapy induces a calming effect on nerves and encourages freer movement of muscles and ligaments. By gently warming internal structures, diathermy makes movement and stretching easier and more comfortable, often leaving patients with a lasting sense of relief and relaxation.

COMMONLY USED TO TREAT:
Muscle spasms and tension
Soft tissue injuries
Back and neck pain
Post-surgical recovery
Limited flexibility or range of motion
Poor circulation
Postural imbalances
Stress-related tension
Sleep disturbances
General inflammation and toxin buildup
HOW IT WORKS:
Chiropractic massage combines therapeutic touch with musculoskeletal care to support the body’s natural healing process. By targeting muscles and connective tissues, it helps release built-up toxins, improve circulation, and increase flexibility. This enhanced blood flow and muscle mobility aid in faster recovery from injuries and reduce inflammation. Regular sessions can also relax the nervous system, support better balance, and improve overall physical and mental well-being.
