Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy uses cutting edge acoustic wave technology which carries high energy to painful spots and tissues.
Chiropractic
Our chiropractic treatments and manual therapies include adjustments, joint manipulation, active release techniques (ART), acupuncture, shockwave therapy, and more.
Active Release Therapy
ART provides a way to diagnose and treat the underlying causes of cumulative trauma disorders that result in symptoms of numbness, tingling, burning and aching. ART is a type of manual hands-on therapy that corrects muscular and soft tissue problems caused by adhesion formation as a result of injury, overuse or cumulative trauma.
Dry Needling & Medical Acupuncture
Medical acupuncture is an effective treatment approach aimed at reducing pain, improving function and increasing muscle activation. During this treatment, a thin, single use needle is carefully guided into the skin and specific tissues. The needle stimulates the release of the body’s own painkillers, such as endorphins.
