Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care is a manual, hands on approach to muscle, nerve and joint conditions. Chiropractors are considered the experts in the treatment of low back pain, neck pain and headaches. We use our hands to perform precise, gentle spinal adjustments and adjustments of other joints of the body to restore normal range of motion, improve balance and agility and decrease discomfort. Although patients may seek out chiropractic care when they are in pain, many return for supportive chiro care when they experience improved performance at athletic events or a decrease in stress and strain on their body at work.

Chiropractic Neurology
Chiropractic neurology is based on the studies of modern Clinical Neuroscience, a research and evidence based approach to treating the central nervous system utilizing receptor based therapies. Neurological rehabilitation is based on the concept of brain or neuronal plasticity. When the brain stops functioning properly whether due to injury or a degenerative process, the body stops working properly. A main reason this breakdown occurs is due to the inability of the brain to interpret the incoming information from our environment appropriately.

Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is the hands on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints. Massage therapy improves circulation by bringing oxygen and other nutrients to body tissues. It relieves muscle tension and pain, increases flexibility and mobility, and helps clear lactic acid and other waste which reduces pain and stiffness in muscles and joints. Registered massage therapy treatment enhances the client’s overall physical well-being by reducing soft tissue discomfort associated with stress, muscular over use, and chronic pain syndromes. Whether young or old, healthy or sick, everyone can benefit from massage therapy and visiting a registered massage therapist.

Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy is a safe and effective therapy that works to help the body to heal itself. Cold laser therapy works by penetrating the targeted tissue and stimulates the cells to produce more energy called ATP. This increase in cellular energy allows the cell to repair and regenerate quickly and effectively. The laser uses a non thermal wavelength of light so there is no risk of tissue damage. Cold beam laser therapy penetrates into the tissue to improve healing and decrease pain and inflammation for effective physical therapy .
