Research and clinical experience have shown that manual therapy can alleviate discomfort through various mechanisms, such as improving blood flow, reducing muscle tension, and enhancing joint mobility.
Conditions We Treat with Manual Therapy
Our primary approach is manual therapy, so that’s how we treat any problem. Manual therapy is effective for pain relief from
all sorts of conditions, and our therapists are equipped with the knowledge and expertise to handle diverse musculoskeletal issues.
Back Pain & Sciatica
Lower back pain is extremely common and causes include everything from lack of exercise to the weather to kidney pain.
Middle Back Pain
Like back pain,
neck pain and headaches are common, and we can treat many kinds, including sprains, herniated discs, and arthritis.
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain comes about from a host of problems, such as rotator cuff issues, arthritis, and labral tears. Additionally, neck pain can sometimes result in shoulder pain.
Hip Pain
Similar to many of the ailments we treat,
hip pain can originate from a range of conditions, including bursitis and tendonitis, arthritis, and lower back pain.

Vertigo & Imbalance
We’ll help determine the underlying cause of your
vertigo and imbalance which can be attributable to inner ear disorders, neurological conditions, or other underlying medical concerns.
Sports & Fitness Injuries
Sports and fitness activities help both our physical and mental health and are fun to participate in. They also, though, can give way to orthopedic issues.
