What are the advantages of integrating chiropractic and acupuncture?
Chiropractic care corrects alignment problems, alleviates pain, improves function, and supports the body's natural ability to heal itself, but some patients have not experienced relief or have not resolved their pain and underlying issues by getting to the root cause of the problem.

Meeting client needs with assisted stretching
Stretching is good. It can decrease stress, reduce pain, and boost energy. Regular stretching can also lower the risk of injury, improve balance, and increase flexibility. The drawback? Getting at those tough-to-reach spots isn't easy. That's where assisted stretching can be helpful. Certified stretch therapists are trained to manually guide muscles into places and positions that you can't reach by yourself. Adding assisted stretching to chiropractic care can help to improve the mobility of the spine, muscles, and nerves making it easier for chiropractors to treat the areas that need help.
