Our approach involves a three step assessment and treatment process that provides fast relief from pain or movement restrictions while teaching you how to handle these problems yourself, highlighting your strengths and identifying areas to improve. This begins with the following at the first assessment:

Neurological Screen and Orthopedic Tests- includes muscle strength testing, reflexes, and sensory testing as well as orthopedic tests to identify areas where you may not be functioning as well as you can.

Movement Screen – Identifies common movement strategies that may be causing extra stress on certain tissues, compensations, or pain. Painful “habits” will be identified and new strategies will be employed through exercise.

After we have identified areas for treatment, some or all of the following strategies may be employed to help speed up the healing process and allow for additional exercise therapy: Chiropractic Adjustments, Functional Dry Needling, Graston Technique, Myofascial Mobilization, and PNF Stretching. We like to think of these therapies as “opening a door” in your movement that was previously inaccessible due to pain or restriction, allowing for the real recovery begins.

Lastly, Exercise Prescription, Self-Care Strategies, and Pain Neuroscience Education will be employed to ensure you get the most out of your treatment. By showing you ways that you can change your pain or relate to your pain in a different way, as well as exercises and strategies to aid in your own healing, you can be sure that nothing is holding you back.
