Chiropractic Care
We specialize in correcting your body’s misalignments. Our goal is to ensure that your spine and the rest of your body are working harmoniously. To do so, we will help you develop a plan that will require light stretching, some exercise, chiropractic care, and a healthy diet.
Corrective Exercises
Corrective exercises are the use of bodily movements and/or postures to restore desirable changes in diseased or injured tissues. The corrective exercises are movement strategies that minimize or eliminate compensation. Corrective exercises should precede more integrated exercises, because they can cue the patient’s motor system to respond in a more desirable way and assist in removing or improving biomechanical constraints.
Physiotherapy
It is important to understand that often times where the pain presents is not the area that needs to be treated. The pain may be due to that area compensating and being over-worked from another area not pulling its weight. Our rehabilitation program includes strength, flexibility and agility training as well as training focused on coordination of body parts and motion to prepare the individual to return to full participation.

Pediatric Chiropractic
Chiropractic care is not just for adults. In fact, more and more parents are seeing the many benefits of their children seeing a chiropractor every single day. Some of the benefits are improved sleep, improved behavior and attitude, and improved immune system function. Children encounter many physical stresses in their life that you may not realize. These stresses can cause your child’s spine to have issues in growth and development.

Tailored one-on-one sessions designed to navigate & guide you through your wellness journey. This 55 minute treatment may involve cupping, stretching, and Tui na massages centered around a personalized plan that aligns with your health goals. This service may help you lower stress and anxiety, reduce chronic & acute pain, help with digestive issues, and improve sleep quality.
Stretching
We all need to stretch in order to protect our mobility & independence. A lot of people don't understand that stretching has to happen on a regular basis, even daily. Contracting and releasing your muscles helps promote flexibility, and a tight muscle is a weak muscle. This 55 minute treatment helps our clients lower stress, improve body posture, reduce muscle & joint pain, increase range of motion & flexibility, and even improved sports performance.
Tui na Massage
In traditional Chinese medicine, "Qi" is the life force that nourishes and energizes all parts of the body. The Tui na massage stimulates the flow of Qi & blood to promote balance and harmony within the body. This ancient technique uses many of the same principles of acupuncture and offers many benefits that help treat neck/back pain, fatigue, carpal tunnel, arthritis, osteoporosis, musculoskeletal disorders, and premenstrual syndrome.
