Chiropractic
Adjustment
Spinal misalignment can cause nerve tissues to stretch, chafe, or become irritated. These “subluxations” can produce a variety of health problems.
During an adjustment, your joints undergo quick, gentle stretching of the spinal joints. At that time you may hear a cracking or popping noise. This is caused by small pockets of air or bubbles, which are in the fluid that surrounds your joints. After this treatment, you may feel more movement in your back and some immediate relief. However, the muscles may still be sore and tight.
COLD LASER
THERAPY
Light and laser therapy is a safe and highly effective treatment method that offers a rapid, drug free and non- invasive healing solution. It’s a safe, effective and painless therapy that activates the body’s natural healing systems to relieve pain, increase joint mobility, increase tissue integrity and promote cell regeneration.
Laser therapy will improve results for conditions such as:
-
Arthritis
-
Muscle tension and spasms
-
Sprains and strains
-
Nerve issues
-
Acute and chronic pain
-
Post-operative wounds that result in a loss of range of motion
HOW IT WORKS
The body absorbs the laser light on a cellular level and transforms it into chemical energy, which the body then uses to commence its own tissue regeneration and healing. This acceleration of healing in turn decreases pain, edema and inflammation.

SOFT TISSUE MOBILIZATION
A soft tissue treatment technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves.
​
Injuries to soft tissue can result in inflammation and swelling. The body responds to the inflammation with scar tissue in an attempt to stabilize the affected area. This scar tissue binds up and results in restricting circulation, inhibiting nerve function, causing ongoing friction and pressure, and usually results in the production of more cross fibres and adhesions.
HOW IT WORKS
The provider uses his or her hands to evaluate abnormal tissues, which are then treated by combining precisely directed tension with specific patient movements in an attempt to break down the built-up scar tissue.
It is common to feel a duplication of your pain symptoms during the treatment (a good indication that the problem has been identified).
Graston Technique is an innovative, patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. The technique utilizes specially designed stainless-steel instruments to specifically detect and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation.

If we work together, you are more likely to succeed!
WESTERN MEDICAL ACUPUNCTURE
Western Medical Acupuncture (WMA) is a treatment technique where needles are inserted into trigger points targeting the affected muscles and their nerve pathways to help treat muscle pain, nerve pain and movement issues. The goal is to release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and reduce pain.
It is used as part of a broader treatment approach that can include exercises, stretches, along with massage therapy, chiropractic, physiotherapy, and other therapies to further decrease the pain and improve motion.
