ce 1953. We utilize several alternative approaches of chiropractic -- Receptor-Tonus technique as originated by Dr. Raymond Nimmo D.C., Graston Technique, Myofascial release technique, and acupressure to focus on the soft tissues of the body (muscles, ligaments and tendons) to release muscle tension and improve body function ["MUSCLES MOVE BONES, BONES DO NOT MOVE MUSCLES"] as well as the traditional adjustment. In addition, we have a complete diagnostic and rehabilitative facility to include rehab exercise, hot/cold packs, ultrasound, cold laser, muscle stimulation, traction, spinal decompression, acupressure/acupuncture, blood+live-cell analysis, and x-ray. Speciality procedures are available for acute/chronic "sinus sufferers" as well as for those patients who suffer with "frequent colds, post-nasal drip ,allergies, etc" with the use of Endo-Nasal Technique (Sinoplasty and Pharyngeal Sweeps) and specific dietary enhancements.

If you are experiencing pain, there’s a good chance that you have searched your symptoms online…

This is why a thorough examination is important to determine the correct diagnosis (and, therefore, the appropriate treatment).
