Chiropractic

Our chiropractic team works collaboratively with our physical therapy and medical providers using the innovative DMR Method of non-surgical treatment. Chiropractic care is an effective therapy focusing on improving and maintaining the health and function of the spinal column and nervous system. Chiropractic is essential for any wellness lifestyle, offering a plethora of benefits that can improve nerve function, posture, while strengthening the immune system. Many people rely on chiropractic treatments to help keep their body and nervous system balanced to optimize their whole-body health.

Chiropractic is also extremely effective for treating many health conditions and injuries caused by auto accidents, sports injuries, and occupations. Chiropractic care is a safe treatment for people of all ages, including infants, toddlers, and children.

Chiropractic Innovation

Our chiropractic team pioneered a specific form of joint manipulation called Integrated Progressive Manipulation (IPM). Integrated Progressive Manipulation is a safe, highly effective progression of joint mobilization that works hand in hand with physical therapy to help produce optimal results. IPM safely improves joint mobility and alignment with minimal stress to the joints and supportive soft tissue.
