Osteopractic Manipulation involves identification and treatment of stiff joints, whether they be in the spine or extremities, by performing high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) thrust to achieve an audible "pop" in the targeted joint(s).  The result is an immediate decrease in pain, increase in circulation, and production of your body's own pain-killers to the area

Manipulation is safe and effective and can be an integral part of your therapy.  Osteopractors are highly trained and tested at the highest levels to perform these techniques

Dry Needling involves the insertion of small, monofilament needles into targeted tissues and joints.  It can be thought of like acupuncture with a more Western understanding of anatomy and pathophysiology.  This treatment helps to relieve tight tissue, promote blood flow to injured tissue, stimulate the nervous system, and aid your body in getting rid of inflammation

Needles be be attached to electrical stimulation in which you will feel gentle pulsing or "tapping" sensations, with compounds the effects of the needles and makes your brain create painkillers

Headaches comes in many different varieties, intensities, and frequencies.  The good news is that many  of them are very treatable through work on the cervical spine, postural changes, and strengthening.

“BFR” involves wearing a device much like a blood pressure cuff

The cuff is inflated and helps to limit blood flow OUT of a muscle while allowing blood to flow IN

Increasing blood flow to a muscle allows it to get stronger faster with less force needed

BFR works great for post-op patients or those who can’t tolerate a lot of force to a joint
