Modalities
Cupping
Cupping is an ancient therapeutic modality that utilizes suction to stimulate blood flow, enhance tissue repair, and relieve muscle tension. By applying specially designed cups to the skin, a gentle vacuum is created that draws blood and promotes circulation in the targeted area. This process can help reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and release muscle tightness, making it a valuable complement to chiropractic adjustments. Our practitioners carefully assess each patient's needs, integrating cupping when it is deemed beneficial or when specifically requested, ensuring that the therapy is tailored to support your overall treatment plan.
In our practice, cupping serves as a strategic tool within a comprehensive chiropractic approach, offering both immediate relief and long-term benefits. The technique not only aids in breaking up adhesions and releasing chronic tension but also enhances the body’s natural healing processes. Whether you are seeking to manage acute discomfort or address ongoing musculoskeletal issues, cupping is seamlessly incorporated into our sessions to promote optimal wellness and recovery.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a precise therapeutic technique that uses ultra-fine needles to target myofascial trigger points, helping to release muscle tension, reduce pain, and enhance neuromuscular function. This evidence-based approach can accelerate recovery by alleviating chronic discomfort and restoring mobility, making it a valuable complement to our overall chiropractic care.
Currently, dry needling is offered exclusively by Dr. Laura as a separate, bookable appointment, ensuring focused and personalized treatment when needed. While Dr. Laura currently administers this modality, Dr. Tyler will soon be adding dry needling to his services, allowing for even greater integration of this technique both as a standalone treatment and as part of your comprehensive chiropractic session.
Graston IASTM
Graston Technique is an innovative form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that employs specially designed stainless-steel tools to detect and address areas of scar tissue, adhesions, and chronic inflammation. By gently scraping and mobilizing the affected tissues, this technique helps break down restrictive fibrous deposits, improve circulation, and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. As a result, it effectively reduces pain, enhances mobility, and accelerates recovery, making it a powerful complement to traditional chiropractic care.
In our practice, Graston Technique is integrated based on each patient’s unique needs as part of a comprehensive chiropractic appointment. Our skilled practitioners utilize this method to target specific areas of discomfort and dysfunction, ensuring a precise and effective treatment. Whether you are dealing with lingering soft tissue issues or seeking to boost your overall functional performance, Graston Technique offers a proactive approach to optimizing your musculoskeletal health.
Voodoo Flossing
Voodoo flossing is a contemporary therapy that involves applying a specialized elastic band around a joint or muscle group during movement to create controlled compression. This compression temporarily restricts blood flow, and when the band is released, the sudden reperfusion helps flush out toxins, reduce inflammation, and mobilize adhesions. The dynamic movement combined with this cyclical compression-and-release process can enhance soft tissue mobility and accelerate recovery, making it a valuable adjunct to traditional chiropractic techniques.
In our practice, voodoo flossing is seamlessly integrated into chiropractic appointments when a patient’s condition indicates its potential benefits. Our skilled practitioners carefully determine the appropriate application, ensuring that the technique complements your overall treatment plan. This targeted approach not only aids in alleviating localized discomfort but also supports enhanced joint function and movement, contributing to a more comprehensive and effective pathway toward improved musculoskeletal health.
