After an up front evaluation, we can reduce your pain and develop a plan to get you back to health with variety of treatments, including:
- Physical therapy to assess and treat muscle, joint and neurological conditions that limit your ability to move and perform daily activities. Treatment improves strength, coordination and balance, relieves pain and restores motion.
- Chiropractic care to restore mobility and maintain normal function of the spine, head to tail. Treatment includes stretching muscles, ligaments and tendons, massage and self-care strategies to restore range of motion.
- Medical acupuncture to relieve pain and other health problems. Treatment involves the provider inserting very thin needles at specific body points that correspond to the patient's area of pain or condition.
