Chiropractic Care
Chiropractors are healthcare practitioners that specialize in the health and function of the spine and nervous system.
Whether you are suffering from back pain, neck pain, or headaches, or want to optimize your health and wellbeing, we can help! Chiropractic is all about helping people feel great and get the most out of life by functioning at their optimal potential.
The spine is made up of the vertebrae, joints, and discs, and its job is to protect the spinal cord which is part of the central nervous system. If the skull is like a helmet for the brain, then the spine acts like a flexible suit of armor around the spinal cord.
Messages travel from around the body, up the spinal cord, and into the brain. The brain processes those messages and sends replies back down the spinal cord telling the body how to respond.
The Central Nervous System is one big information superhighway, carrying vital messages to every part of your body.

Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.
Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.
Myofasical Release Support
Myofascial release is a manual therapy technique often used in massage. The technique focuses on pain believed to arise from myofascial tissues — the tough membranes that wrap, connect and support your muscles.
Theoretically, myofascial pain differs from other types of pain because it originates in "trigger points," which are related to stiff, anchored areas within the myofascial tissue. The pain that a trigger point causes is often difficult to localize, though.
During myofascial release therapy, the therapist locates myofascial areas that feel stiff and fixed instead of elastic and movable under light manual pressure. These areas, though not always near what feels like the source of pain, are thought to restrict muscle and joint movements, which contributes to widespread muscle pain.
