Advanced Myofascial Release 

Myofascial Release (MFR) is a type of treatment used to treat chronic. It is a safe and effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. Myofascial release therapy focuses on releasing muscular shortness and tightness.

There are a number of conditions and symptoms that myofascial release therapy addresses. Many patients seek myofascial treatment after losing flexibility or function following an injury or if experiencing ongoing back, shoulder, hip, or virtually pain in any area containing soft tissue. Other conditions treated by myofascial release therapy include Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder, carpal tunnel syndrome, or possibly fibromyalgia or migraine headaches.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is targeted relief for muscle pain and tension.   Dry Needling uses fine, sterile needles that are inserted into specific muscle trigger points to release tension, improve circulation, and promote healing. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling focuses directly on the musculoskeletal system to address pain, tightness, and muscle knots.

The benefits you can expect are speedy recovery from injuries, improved flexibility and range of motion, and relief from pain and muscle tension.

Dry needling is a safe, effective way to target the source of discomfort and help your body heal naturally.

Rapid Release Technology (RRT)

Rapid Release Technology (RRT) is a vibration therapy that uses gentle resonant frequency compression waves that target scar tissue and adhesions. Rapid Release also releases fascial restrictions and knots and increases circulation relaxing muscles, releasing stress and tension while easing movement. RRT uses frequencies that are three to four times faster than other methods, resulting in a significant increase in range of motion, released scar tissue, reduced pain, and ease of chronic and acute muscle spasm.

Rapid Release Therapy is helpful to reduce the pain associated with joint sprains, strains, arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, muscle spasm, nerve pain and most musculoskeletal disorders such as carpal tunnel, Tennis Elbow, Neuromas and Adhesions, Trapped Nerves and Plantar Fasciitis.

Diversified Adjustive Technique

Diversified Adjustive Technique is one of the most widely used forms of manipulation in the chiropractic field. It is used to address biomechanical failure in each section of the spine, as it relates to specific subluxation. No instruments are used in the adjusting procedure. Instead, diversified adjustive procedures consist of high velocity, low amplitude thrusts allowing for specificity in correcting mechanical distortions of the spine. These techniques attempt to use the normal biomechanics of the spine and extremities in order to create motion in spinal or extremity joints, with the goal of restoring function and structure to the joint.
