Exercise as Medicine

Our bodies are meant to move. Not only is exercise incredibly effective at reducing pain, it also makes us stronger, more resilient, and more independent. . An individualized exercise program with appropriate self-management strategies is an important asset to pain management and recovery.

Concussion Assessment & Management

If you have suffered a concussion it is important to have it managed by a health care professional.  A thorough examination is required to determine the severity of your symptoms and cognitive deficits.  A progressive return to work or play protocol will ensure a safe and timely return to activity.

Manual Therapy

I use a variety of manual therapy techniques including Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT), joint mobilization, soft tissue therapy "muscle release techniques" and Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation (IASTM). These are all helpful options to help reduce pain.

Contemporary Medical Acupuncture

Contrary to other acupuncture philosophies, Medical Acupuncture in itself is not a medical system, but rather is applied as an adjunct to other manual and active therapies. Contemporary Medical Acupuncture uses needles and electrical currents to stimulate the peripheral nervous system and local muscles.

Spinal Decompression Therapy

Therapeutic Spinal Decompression is a non-surgical, traction-based treatment for spinal pain. Application of the computerized traction head with individualized programmed patterns of distraction and relaxation helps reduce pain and muscle guarding.  

Therapeutic Modalities

Other passive treatment modalities may be used to help decrease your pain and increase your ability to move, exercise and recover. these may include Cold Laser Therapy, Electrotherapy (IFC or TENS) or Kinesiotaping.
