Chiropractic Manipulative Therapy

To put movement in a joint that is fixated, the doctor utilizes chiropractic manipulation or an adjustment to help restore normal function and motion in a joint. Generally, this technique employs gentle pressure or a shallow thrust to restore optimal motion. To ensure patient comfort other techniques such as instrument adjusting are commonly used and always available.

Motion Palpation

Rarely is a joint out of place. Rather, what often happens is that a joint loses movement. Patients benefit from our manipulative therapy techniques, which are based on current medical research. Meaning, the adjustments administered to our patients (have been clinically proven as the preferred adjusting technique, achieving long-term results with fewer treatments.

Active Release Technique®

Applied by hand using specific pressure and tension on the muscle, ART is more aggressive than massage therapy. This method softens and stretches the scar tissue, resulting in increased range of motion, enhanced strength and improved circulation optimizing the healing process.

Currently, medical research refers to ART as the most effective muscle technique for treating soft-tissue conditions. At a recent neurosurgery conference in Boston, a neurosurgeon reported, Now, I refer most of my patients to an ART provider before I’ll consider surgery. ART ensures the rapid recovery for our patients, which range from athletes to office workers.
