Shockwave Therapy

A therapeutic modality used in physical therapy and sports medicine for the treatment of common musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. Acoustic waves generated by the shockwave are driven into chronically injured tissues to trigger biological effects that lead to faster, long-term healing and tissue regeneration.

  • Targets chronic tissue adhesion and scar tissue

  • Improve tissue mobility, decrease pain, improve function

  • Noticeable improvements often after only 1 – 3 treatments

MedX® Low-Level Laser Therapy

Light energy is penetrated deep into tissue, resulting in a decrease in swelling, acceleration in healing time, and an increase in the pain threshold, due to the release of endorphins.

  • Fast, safe, and very effective

  • Decreases healing time

  • Effective for osteoarthritis, tendonitis, muscle strains, ligaments sprains

Joint Manipulation & Mobilization

A non-invasive manual procedure that utilizes the highly refined skills a chiropractor develops during four intensive years of study. When indicated, manipulation of the joints in the body, often to the spine, is used to reduce pain, improve joint mobility, and restore proper function to the area.

  • Highly controlled, pain-free low-risk therapy

  • Often immediate improvements when the joint is the pain causing structure

  • Part of a broader treatment plan; not a stand-alone therapy

Cupping Therapy

Cupping utilizes negative pressure to separate – pull – the skin and subcutaneous tissue away from the underlying layers of muscle and fascia. A plastic cup is placed on the skin and a pump is used to draw air out, creating a vacuum. This separation of tissues allows for improved blood flow, increased lymphatic drainage, and improved cellular function and mobility in the tissues.

  • Increase local circulation
  • Decrease fascial restrictions
  • Soothe sore and tired muscles
