In essence, it's a targeted, therapeutic way to restore normal function and reduce discomfort in soft tissues—performed entirely by a trained practitioner’s hands.
Purpose:
- Relieve muscle tension and pain
- Improve mobility and flexibility
- Break down scar tissue or adhesions
- Enhance circulation and healing
Used For:
Athletic recovery and injury rehab
Treating chronic pain (e.g., back, neck, shoulders)
Post-surgical recovery
Improving posture and movement quality

Chiropractic Manipulation/ Adjustment
A chiropractic adjustment (also called spinal manipulation) is a hands-on treatment performed by a chiropractor to improve joint function, reduce pain, and support the nervous system—most commonly targeting the spine.
What Happens During an Adjustment?
The chiropractor applies a controlled, sudden force to a specific joint (often in the spine) using their hands or a small instrument.
You may hear a popping or cracking sound, which is caused by gas being released from the joint (similar to cracking knuckles).
Purpose:
- Restore normal joint alignment and mobility
- Reduce pressure on nerves
- Relieve pain, tension, and inflammation
- Improve posture and movement patterns
Common Conditions Treated:
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Headaches (especially tension or cervicogenic types)
- Sciatica
- Joint stiffness
Is It Safe?
Generally safe when performed by a licensed chiropractor.
Some people may feel soreness afterward, similar to post-workout fatigue.

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Treatment
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) treatment refers to therapies aimed at relieving pain, dysfunction, and mobility issues in the TMJ, which connects your jawbone to your skull. TMJ disorders can cause jaw pain, headaches, clicking or popping sounds, and difficulty chewing or opening the mouth.
Common Causes of TMJ Dysfunction:
- Jaw clenching or teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Stress-related muscle tension
- Joint injury or arthritis
- Misalignment of the jaw or bite
Our Treatment Options:
Conservative Therapy
- Physical therapy/manual therapy: Massage, stretching, and mobilization of jaw and neck muscles
- Exercises: Targeted movements to improve jaw function and alignment
- Heat or ice therapy: Reduces pain and inflammation
- Lifestyle changes: Stress management, posture correction, avoiding gum or hard foods

Posture Correction
Posture correction refers to strategies and treatments used to improve the alignment of the body—especially the spine, shoulders, and hips—to promote proper movement, reduce pain, and prevent injury.
Posture correction is about retraining your body to sit, stand, and move in a way that minimizes strain and promotes long-term musculoskeletal health. It often combines movement education, therapy, and lifestyle changes.
Why Posture Matters:
- Reduces neck, back, and shoulder pain
- Improves breathing, circulation, and digestion
- Prevents wear and tear on joints and ligaments
- Enhances movement efficiency and athletic performance
Posture Correction Methods:
1. Physical Therapy & Manual Treatment
Hands-on techniques to release tight muscles or mobilize stiff joints
Targeted exercises to strengthen weak muscles (e.g. core, upper back)
2. Ergonomic Adjustments
Improving workstation setup: desk height, monitor position, chair support
3. Postural Training & Exercises
Stretches for tight areas (like chest or hip flexors)
Strengthening for postural muscles (like glutes, rhomboids, deep core)
4. Posture Braces or Taping
Used short-term to cue proper alignment, not as a crutch
5. Mindfulness & Habit Change
Regular posture checks and body awareness throughout the day
