Active Release Techniques
ART is a patented soft tissue system targeting muscles, tendons, and nerves. Our certified providers use precise pressure to break adhesions, restoring mobility and reducing pain. This hands-on approach treats chronic issues like plantar fasciitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. Patients often experience significant improvement within 2-4 sessions when combined with corrective exercises.
Shockwave Therapy
This non-invasive therapy uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in chronic tendon injuries and muscular conditions. FDA-approved for plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow, it accelerates recovery by increasing blood flow and breaking down scar tissue. Most patients require 3-5 sessions spaced weekly for optimal results.
SFMA Assessment
Selective Functional Movement Assessment evaluates 7 fundamental movement patterns to identify mobility/stability dysfunctions. This systematic approach pinpoints compensatory patterns causing pain, guiding targeted treatments. Combined with corrective exercises, it improves biomechanics and prevents recurring injuries through movement pattern restoration.
Dry Needling
TDN uses thin needles to deactivate trigger points causing muscular pain. By targeting knotted muscle fibers, this technique releases tension and improves blood flow. Effective for chronic pain conditions like rotator cuff injuries and sciatica, often producing immediate relief when combined with manual therapy and stretching protocols.
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic approach focuses on restoring joint function through gentle mobilization techniques rather than traditional adjustments. This method improves range of motion and reduces pain in spinal and extremity joints. Treatment integrates with soft tissue therapies for comprehensive musculoskeletal rehabilitation, emphasizing functional improvement over alignment correction.
