Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments focus on correcting musculoskeletal misalignments using manual techniques. This treatment addresses biomechanical issues contributing to conditions like lower back pain, sciatica, and sports-related injuries. Patients receive personalized adjustment plans combined with rehabilitative exercises to restore proper function and prevent recurrence.
PRP Therapy
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy utilizes concentrated platelets from the patient's own blood to accelerate tissue healing. This treatment targets chronic tendon injuries, ligament damage, and muscle strains by stimulating the body's natural repair processes. We combine PRP injections with structured rehabilitation protocols for optimal recovery.
Anti-Gravity Treadmill
The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill enables weight-reduced running rehabilitation through NASA-developed differential air pressure technology. Patients maintain cardiovascular fitness while recovering from stress fractures, post-surgical conditions, or joint injuries by adjusting body weight support between 20-100% during treadmill sessions.
Physical Rehabilitation
Our physical rehabilitation programs combine therapeutic exercises with modalities like ultrasound and electrical stimulation. Treatment plans address specific injuries including plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff impingement, and IT band syndrome through progressive strengthening and biomechanical correction techniques tailored to each patient's activity level.
Gait Analysis
Computerized gait analysis identifies biomechanical abnormalities contributing to running injuries. Using advanced motion capture technology, we assess foot strike patterns, stride length, and joint mechanics to develop corrective strategies including custom orthotics and gait retraining programs.
