Above and beyond normal medicine, chiropractic, and physical therapy
Specialized Treatments
In addition to the treatments you might expect from chiropractic care or physical therapy, we provide a number of specialized treatments. Many of these advanced rehabilitation and medical techniques require extended training, and sometimes state-of-the-art equipment. These techniques give us an advantage in resolving your complaints faster and with better long-term results.
Physical Medicine Treatments

We have specialized training in the only medical treatment FDA approved for chronic migraines, Botox injections. Botox is particularly exciting in the field of medicine because it is shown to prevent and reduce chronic migraine where other more commonplace treatments (such as meds taken by mouth) have not. more info . . .

Kinesio Taping
Our therapists use a special technique called Kinesio Taping to provide protection for muscles and joints in a way that actually improves circulation. Kinesio Taping facilitates healing and recovery by allowing damaged joints to move within healthy ranges of motion, by enhancing neurological feedback, and by creating a pumping effect for local circulation.  Typically not a standalone therapy, this technique enhances several physical therapy treatments to create faster pain relief, more efficient therapeutic results, and more satisfied clients. more info...
