Chiropractic Adjustment
Chiropractic adjustments are hands on treatments used to improve joint movement and function in the spine and other areas of the body. Depending on your needs, our chiropractors may use traditional hands on adjustments or lower force techniques as part of your individualized treatment plan.
Our doctors use a variety of chiropractic techniques, including Diversified, Activator, and Webster Technique. The type of adjustment used is based on your condition, examination findings, comfort level, and treatment goals.
Webster Technique & Pregnancy Chiropractic
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment commonly used during pregnancy. It focuses on the sacrum, pelvis, and surrounding soft tissues to address joint restriction, muscle tension, and pelvic function as the body changes throughout pregnancy.
Webster care is gentle and adapted to the individual patient and stage of pregnancy. Pregnant patients may seek chiropractic care for concerns such as low back pain, hip or pelvic discomfort, muscle tension, and changes in mobility.
Dr. Kelsey Pace is Webster Certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), which includes additional training in the evaluation and chiropractic care of pregnant patients.
Therapeutic Exercise & Rehabilitation
Therapeutic exercise is used to improve strength, mobility, stability, and overall function. Our doctors select exercises based on each patient’s condition, examination findings, and individual goals rather than using the same exercise program for every patient.
Exercises may focus on improving flexibility, strengthening areas of weakness, restoring movement, and helping patients return to work, sports, exercise, or everyday activities. Therapeutic exercise is often combined with chiropractic care to address both joint mobility and the muscles that support proper movement.
Our goal is not only to help reduce current symptoms, but also to improve how your body moves and functions as you recover.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment that uses controlled mechanical traction to gently stretch and unload specific areas of the spine. Treatment is customized based on the area being treated, the patient's condition, and individual comfort.
Our doctors may incorporate spinal decompression into a treatment plan for certain patients experiencing low back or neck pain, sciatica, or symptoms associated with disc-related conditions. Decompression may also be combined with chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercise, and other treatments when appropriate.
Spinal decompression is not recommended for every condition. Our doctors evaluate each patient to determine whether decompression is an appropriate treatment option based on their symptoms, examination findings, and health history.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is a soft-tissue treatment that uses specialized cups to create suction on the skin and underlying tissues. It may be incorporated into care for patients experiencing muscle tightness, soreness, discomfort, or restricted movement.
Depending on the patient's needs, cupping may be used alongside chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercise, and other soft-tissue treatments. Our doctors determine when cupping is appropriate based on each patient's symptoms, examination findings, and treatment goals.
Myofascial Release & Soft Tissue Therapy
Myofascial release and other soft tissue techniques are hands-on treatments used to address muscle tightness, tenderness, and restrictions in movement. Treatment may involve applying targeted pressure or movement to muscles and surrounding soft tissues based on areas identified during your examination.
Our doctors may incorporate soft tissue therapy alongside chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercise, cupping, and other treatments to help improve mobility and function. The techniques used are selected based on each patient's condition, symptoms, and treatment goals.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (E-Stim)
Electrical stimulation, commonly called E-stim, is a supportive therapy that uses electrodes placed on the skin to deliver controlled electrical impulses to targeted areas of the body. Patients typically feel a mild tingling or muscle-contracting sensation during treatment.
Our doctors may incorporate electrical stimulation into care to help manage pain, muscle tension, or muscle function depending on the patient's condition. E-stim may be used alongside chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercise, and other treatments as part of an individualized treatment plan.
Kinesiology & Therapeutic Taping
Kinesiology taping uses flexible, elastic tape applied to the skin to provide support while allowing normal movement. Our doctors may use therapeutic taping to support muscles and joints, assist with movement, or provide additional support during recovery from certain musculoskeletal injuries.
Taping may be incorporated alongside chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercise, and other treatments based on the patient's condition and activity goals. The location and application of the tape are selected based on each patient's individual needs.
