Chiropractic

Why Choose Chiropractic Care? Chiropractic adjustments are proven to help alleviate back pain, neck stiffness, joint discomfort, headaches, and more—by addressing the root of the problem, not just the symptoms. Gentle spinal adjustments and targeted therapies help restore movement and function, making daily activities easier and more comfortable. Whether you’re an athlete or simply want to move with ease, chiropractic care supports a more mobile you. Poor posture can lead to tension, fatigue, and long-term health issues. Chiropractic care helps correct misalignments and supports a healthier posture—especially important for those who sit or work at a desk all day.

Spinal Decompression Therapy

Gentle, Non-Surgical Relief for Back and Neck Pain

A non-invasive treatment that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves. It’s ideal for conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and chronic back or neck pain.

Using a specialized table, the spine is carefully stretched and relaxed, promoting disc healing and improved spinal alignment. This therapy helps reduce pain, increase mobility, and support long-term recovery—without surgery or medication.

Muscle cupping, a form of myofascial decompression, is a therapy rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and now widely used in sports and physical therapy settings. It involves placing cups (typically glass, silicone, or plastic) on the skin to create suction, which pulls the skin and superficial muscle layers upward. This technique offers several potential benefits, especially for soft tissue injuries (like muscle strains, sprains, and tendonitis).

Therapeutic ultrasound is a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to promote healing in soft tissues. It helps reduce pain, increase blood flow, and accelerate tissue repair. Commonly used for muscle strains, tendon injuries, and joint inflammation aka arthritis.

Types of Arthritis Commonly Treated with Ultrasound: Osteoarthritis (OA) – most common; degenerative joint disease.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) – autoimmune condition affecting joints.

Psoriatic arthritis – associated with psoriasis, also involves inflammation.

Post-traumatic arthritis – develops after injury to the joint.

Important Considerations: Not a cure for arthritis, but a supportive therapy to relieve symptoms.

Should not be used over areas with metal implants, active infection, malignancy, or open wounds.

Should be applied by a qualified healthcare provider to ensure correct dosage and technique.

In summary, ultrasound therapy can be a helpful adjunct treatment for arthritis, particularly when aiming to manage pain, stiffness, and inflammation non-invasively. It works best when integrated into a broader treatment plan that includes exercise, medication, and lifestyle changes.

E-Stim Therapy: A Patient Favorite for Pain Relief & Recovery

E-Stim (Electrical Stimulation) therapy is one of our go-to treatments—and for good reason. It’s a safe, non-invasive way to reduce pain, relax tight muscles, improve blood flow, and speed up healing. Whether you’re dealing with an injury, nerve irritation, or general muscle weakness, E-Stim is a powerful tool that fits right into your chiropractic care plan.

Honestly, it’s my favorite therapy we offer—and if you asked my patients, they’d likely say the same. Almost everyone who’s come through our doors has tried it at least once. It’s just one of those “good-for-most” therapies that works well across the board.

Benefits of EMS and TENS Therapy

✅ EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation)

EMS uses gentle electrical pulses to make your muscles contract, helping with:

• Muscle Strengthening – Ideal for weak or recovering muscles.
• Preventing Muscle Loss – Keeps muscles active during rest or injury.
• Faster Recovery – Boosts blood flow to support healing.
• Muscle Re-education – Retrains muscles after injury or surgery.

✅ TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)

TENS targets the nerves to block pain signals and ease discomfort:

• Pain Relief – Effective for arthritis, back pain, sciatica, and more.
• Drug-Free Option – Natural relief without medications.
• Relaxation – Stimulates endorphins, your body’s feel-good chemicals.

🛑 Safety Reminder

E-Stim is generally safe, but it’s not for everyone. Always check with a professional if you’re pregnant, have a pacemaker, or other health concerns.
