Chiropractic Adjustment

Manipulation of joints in an effort to restore normal behavior
and reduce harmful mechanical stresses to the local tissues.

Chiropractic Adjusting

I utilize chiropractic adjustments to treat areas of joint dysfunction. The small muscles that attach to individual bones may become tight due to a variety of causes including injury, postural stress and overuse. These muscles surrounding the spine act as sensors for the brain, signaling sensory information from the rest of the body.

Through spinal adjustments we can restore normal movement patterns in these spinal segments and restore a more natural pattern of input from the spine to the central nervous system. Joint dysfunction does not just affect how the brain perceives and controls the spine, but also how it perceives and controls the rest of the body . Such dysfunctional spinal segments become self-perpetuating problems that influence the development and continuation of various chronic pain conditions.

Chiropractic Adjustment

Application of controlled load vectors to joints in effort to restore normal behavior and reduce harmful mechanical stresses to the local tissues. Spinal tissues are consistently exposed to varying rates and amplitudes of loads. Manual treatment differs by the intent to apply loads locally, in an effort to alter mechanical stresses thought to contribute to symptoms.

Active Release Technique®
ART® is a movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Applying manual tension as a patient moves through a movement pattern releases scar tissue adhesions and provides functional improvement to enhance healing and performance.

Graston Technique

Utilizes stainless steel instruments to detect and effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. This is used on areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis, chronic inflammation, and scar tissue adhesions to:

Graston decreases overall time of treatment, fosters faster
recovery, and resolves chronic conditions thought to be permanent

Selective Functional Movement Assessment

This is how we figure out what limitations you have, so that we can systematically fix it. SFMA is a series of full-body movement tests designed to assess fundamental movement patterns. Clinical assessment is initiated from the perspective of the movement pattern, to identify meaningful impairments that may be seemingly unrelated to the main musculoskeletal complaint, but contribute to the associated disability.
