A detailed physical examination will follow, where we evaluate your posture, range of motion, and muscle strength.

If necessary, we might recommend imaging studies such as X-rays or MRIs to provide a clearer picture of your condition.

Based on our findings, we will craft a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This may include spinal adjustments, which are precise manual manipulations designed to improve the alignment and function of your spine and surrounding structures. These adjustments aim to alleviate pain, enhance mobility, and boost your physical performance. In addition to adjustments, we offer a variety of complementary techniques such as soft tissue therapy, stretching, and strengthening exercises specifically suited to your condition.
