Our experienced doctors are skilled at joint manipulation, also commonly called “chiropractic adjustments.” The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become hypomobile – or restricted in their movement – as a result of a tissue injury from trauma or from a disease process over time. Injured tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain, and reduced function. Manipulation, or adjustment of the affected joint and tissues, restores mobility, and alleviates pain and muscle tightness, allowing tissues to heal. We use low force techniques to make this experience more comfortable for you.

Dry needling is a treatment technique that has been around for many years and is just now gaining popularity in the midwest. It is not acupuncture as acupuncture is a form of Chinese Medicine but does use similar needles. Dry Needling involves inserting a thin, monofilament – meaning non hollow – needle directly into a trigger point or tight and spastic muscle and can have immediate changes due to neurological input from nerves. Dry needling is a highly effective treatment for various soft tissues including muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves as well as inflammatory conditions and can be used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal complaints.

Cupping Therapy involves placing silicone or plastic cups on the skin to create a vacuum by suctioning out the air. The underlying tissue is raised partially into the cup. The purpose of cupping is to enhance blood and lymph circulation, relieve pain, remove toxins and release muscle tension.
