Chiropractic
Chiropractors are musculoskeletal experts that diagnose, treat, and provide preventive tools to patients. While we often treat the neck and low back, we can also manage headaches or injuries of the upper and lower limb. We utilize manual therapy techniques such as soft tissue therapy, adjustments, acupuncture, education, and exercise.

Athletic Therapy
Athletic Therapy involves injury assessment and rehabilitation using soft-tissue mobilization aimed at removing scar tissue from the muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Athletic therapy is effective at treating the musculoskeletal (muscles, bones, and joints) injuries of all patients, whether on the field or in the clinic.
