Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to relieve pain and promote healing in soft tissues, ligaments, and tendons. It stimulates increased blood flow & growth hormones, promotes new tissue growth, breaks down tissue, and degrades nerve bundles, which allows for pain modulation. It has many different opportunities to help with tendinopathy, hip impingement, kidney stones, plantar fasciitis, achilles tendinopathy, and foot, knee, leg, elbow, shoulder pains. It's also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) or radial shockwave therapy (RSWT). 💙💚💙

The Kinesio Taping method is a therapeutic taping technique which alleviates pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin. This lifting effect forms convolutions in the skin, increasing interstitial space and allowing for decreased inflammation in affected areas.💙💚

Cupping soothes the nervous system, creating a parasympathetic “rest and digest” response. The negative pressure from cupping pulls these waste products up and flushes out. Helping to facilitate new fresh blood coming in and aiding with final clean up. The vacuum formed by cupping brings old stagnant blood and cellular waste to the surface and away from the affected tissue. Now fresh, healthy new blood and fluid can circulate to the area bringing in fresh oxygen, blood cells and nutrients to the area.💙💚

In areas where there is stagnant blood, lymph, cellular waste and toxins, cupping marks are usually left behind following treatment. This means stagnant fluids have been flushed from deeper layers to the surface aiding in recovery. The color and pattern of the marks depends on the level of stagnation in the area. Discoloration following treatment ranges and usually lasts anywhere from 3 days to a week. These colorful displays are normal and should not be painful. These are not bruises which are caused by trauma to the body resulting in ruptured blood vessels.💚💙💚

Decompression therapy is a highly successful treatment for patients suffering from bulging, herniated, degenerative or ruptured discs as well as sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and many failed back surgery cases. This treatment helps patients avoid the risk of aesthesia, surgical complications, and the potential of failed back surgery.💚💙💚

Chiropractic adjustments to the spinal column can ease pain, enhance joint motion, improve your posture, and help your nervous system function normally.💙💚

Chiropractic spinal manipulation can be performed safely on most individuals of all ages, including newborns. An initial evaluation analyzes your spinal alignment, checking for any imbalances that may be producing your health challenges. We will ensure that you are a good candidate for chiropractic adjustment before proceeding. Repeated adjustments help the body accept the changes in joint position, although you may feel substantial relief almost immediately.
