Techniques

Diversified

The most widely used chiropractic technique. The safe, gentle, chiropractic adjustment to the spine that produces the “crack”.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is the painless inserting of an acupuncture style needle into a trigger point in a muscle. This process causes the trigger point to relax and the pain to dissipate. This is combined with chiropractic adjustments and exercises to correct the issue at the cause. Click here for more information

Graston Technique®

Graston Technique (GT) is a form of IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation) that allows our doctors to find and break up adhesions, fascial restrictions and scar tissue in muscle tissue. It can also be used for ligaments and tendons with the same effects. There is significant evidence supporting this treatment for the removal of these facial restrictions or adhesions as well as optimizing range of motion. Click to learn more.

Active Release Technique®

Active release technique is a manual hands on treatment for muscles. This is one of the more effective but also intense treatments for the muscle. It requires stretching the desired muscle through the entire range of motion of the muscle. This procedure ideally requires access to the skin above the muscle but can be done through clothing if needed.
