Our chiropractic care steps in to ease your pain, speed up recovery, and boost your performance. Regular visits can help you recover faster after games, improve your balance, and keep injuries at bay.

- Spinal Manipulation: We gently position you and apply a quick, controlled push to a joint. This releases built-up pressure, gets your muscles and joints aligned, and helps everything work like it should. You might hear a little “pop” – that’s just gas bubbles collapsing in the joint.
- Spinal Mobilization: If you need a softer touch, we use tools or stretches to ease joint pressure. It’s gentler but just as effective.
We might also mix in extras like laser therapy, heat, or electrical stimulation to tackle pain and support healing.
