How chiropractic care can help a work injury
Care is hands-on and drug-free. Depending on your exam, it may include chiropractic adjustments, myofascial release, Graston therapy, ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation, Kinesio taping, cupping and home exercises. Massage therapy and acupuncture are in the same building, so your care can be coordinated in one place. If your exam shows you need imaging or a medical doctor, we tell you and help you get there.
