Where is your pain?

  • MID-BACK PAIN

    Mid Back pain could be Discogenic, which ranges from dull and achy to sharp with numbness or tingling into the legs or feet. There may be tight muscles involved and all movements cause more pain.  Whether your pain is from an accident, posture, a medical or skeletal condition – we can help.

  • NECK PAIN

    Neck pain is a common complaint. Neck muscles can be strained from poor posture — whether it’s leaning over your computer or hunching over your workbench. Osteoarthritis also is a common cause of neck pain.

    Neck pain can also be a symptom of a more serious problem.  Our practitioners can help evaluate and treat your specific need.

    Our experts in neck pain can help!

  • SHOULDER PAIN

    Shoulder pain can start with an injury, or even more commonly it begins gradually over a period of weeks to months or even years. It is often seen in patients who perform repetitive or overhead activities and becomes more common with aging. In some cases, shoulder pain can start for what seems like no reason at all.

    We can make you feel better!

  • LOWER-BACK PAIN

    Lower back pain could be sciatic, characterized as a stabbing pain or weakness originating in your lower back and shooting down your leg.  It could be Piriformis Syndrome which is usually local pain in your buttock region; usually the muscles there are very tight and tender. Mechanical Low Back Pain is described as pain originating from the small joints in your spine; there is often inflammation involved.  Let our team find out what is the root cause of your issue.

    Our experts in lower back pain can help!

  • KNEE PAIN

    Hallmarks of knee pain often come from Osteoarthritis and symptoms include Discomfort and Stiffness. Osteoarthritis often occurs with age, dysfunctional joint, and overuse of that joint. Decreasing inflammation is critical in the successful treatment of this condition.  We also see many clients for impact or stress injuries.

    We can help your knee feel better.

  • ANKLE PAIN

    Ankle pain refers to any kind of pain or discomfort affecting any part of the ankle. Ankle pain can happen for many reasons. The most common causes include injury, arthritis and normal wear and tear. Depending on the cause, your treatment with us will, of course, vary.   We can make you feel better!

  • ELBOW PAIN

    Joints can become stiff or immobile through stress, trauma or dysfunction of the structures around the joint (muscles, tendon, and ligaments). To restore motion to these areas we may use a combination of chiropractic, massage and acupuncture depending on your unique needs.

    Our experts in elbow and joint pain can help!

  • HEADACHES

    Headaches are the worst!  It’s hard to get through the day when you suffer from frequent headaches. Possible Causes include Stress, Tension, Neck Mis-Alignment.  We have a range of innovative and unique treatments to help.
