Acupuncture is a technique in which the doctors insert thin needles through the skin to stimulate specific nerves, muscles, and tissues. Acupuncture may help boost your body's natural painkillers and promote well-being.
ACUPUNCTURE
Dry Needling is a technique in which the doctors insert thin needles through the skin to alleviate trigger points and any muscular discomfort.
DRY NEEDLING
FLEXION / DISTRACTION
The Flexion Distraction technique utilizes a special table that tractions and flexes your spine in a gentle rhythmic motion. This combined movement helps to restore flexibility to restricted joints while creating a gentle negative pressure to help draw nutrients into the spinal disc and pull back bulging disc material - in much the same way stretching an accordion pulls air. Flexion Distraction is a proven and safe low-force option to help resolve various sciatic and lower back complaints.
ADJUSTMENTS
Sometimes joints in your body that are not moving freely. This can cause tightness and discomfort and can accelerate unwanted degeneration i.e. arthritis. The doctors will apply a gentle force with their hands, or with handheld instruments, in order to restore motion to any "restricted" joints. Sometimes a specialized table will be used to assist with these safe and effective "adjustments". Joint manipulation improves flexibility, relieves pain, and helps maintain healthy joints.
MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
Overworked muscles often become tight and develop knots or "trigger points". Chronic tightness produces inflammation and swelling that ultimately leads to the formation of "adhesions" between tissues. The doctors will apply pressure with their hands, or with specialized tools, in order to release muscle tightness and soft-tissue adhesions. This will help to improve your circulation, relieve pain and restore flexibility.
REHAB
Muscle tightness or weakness causes discomfort and alters normal joint function, leading to additional problems. The doctors will target tight or weak muscles with specific therapeutic stretching and strengthening to help increase tissue flexibility, build strength, and ease the pain. Healthy, strong, and flexible muscles may help prevent re-injury.
The doctors apply a special elastic therapeutic tape in order to support injured areas or encourage better movement. This tape is thought to decrease pain and swelling, improve circulation and limit muscle soreness.
KINESIOLOGY TAPING
Cupping is an ancient practice that involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction. The suction draws blood to the area to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation. Cupping often leaves temporary round marks on the skin.

FUNCTIONAL RANGE CONDITIONING (FAKTR)
Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) is a system of mobility and joint control training that focuses on improving the body's functional range of motion while enhancing tissue resilience. One specific technique within the FRC system is FAKTR, which stands for Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehab.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
IASTM is another option to resolve pain and tightness in the body. This approach to fascial work reduces friction which allows for precision, sensitivity and depth that cannot be accomplished with the hands, knuckles, elbows etc. IASTM instruments make it easier to detect and treat fascial dysfunction.
They magnify the abnormalities (scars, restrictions and adhesions) in the fascia and make it easier to locate the area to treat. Using a tool focuses the force through an area smaller than your finger with less friction which allows a more efficient treatment. The goal is to trigger an inflammatory healing response. This will stimulate the production of new collagen and proper, functional, pain-free healing.
