Services
Cox Technic Flexion-Distraction
This non-surgical technique uses a specialized table to gently stretch the spine, reducing disc pressure and nerve compression. It effectively treats herniated discs, sciatica, and spinal stenosis through controlled movements that promote disc hydration and nerve decompression. Clinical studies show 91% of patients achieve relief within 90 days without invasive procedures.
Functional Medicine
Our pharmacists and functional medicine practitioners address root causes of chronic pain through personalized nutrition plans, food intolerance testing, and natural therapies. This approach complements chiropractic care by optimizing overall health through dietary interventions, genetic testing, and targeted supplementation strategies.
Acupuncture
Certified practitioners use fine needles to stimulate specific points for pain relief and inflammation reduction. This ancient practice enhances chiropractic adjustments by improving circulation, reducing muscle tension, and promoting natural healing responses in patients with back pain, headaches, and joint discomfort.
Massage Therapy
Therapeutic massage techniques target muscle tension and trigger points to enhance adjustment effectiveness. Sessions focus on improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and maintaining spinal alignment through deep tissue work and myofascial release protocols tailored to individual patient needs.
Electrotherapy
Advanced electrotherapy devices deliver targeted electrical impulses to reduce pain signals and muscle spasms. Treatments include interferential current for deep tissue penetration and TENS units for localized pain control, complementing manual therapies with measurable improvements in patient comfort.
