Reliable & Effective Chiropractic Solutions in Rochester

It’s essential to learn the nuances of every patient we work with in order to create a precise healing and recovery plan. Two different people can react very differently to the same injury, so our team will review all relevant aspects of your lifestyle and pain points before your comprehensive exam.

The therapies provided are proven to nurture safe, effective healing with noninvasive modalities. We know you want to get pain-free as soon as possible, so we’ll create a program that fits you best. We aim for you to feel comfortable throughout your time with us, and we always encourage open dialogue.


Some of the chiropractic solutions and integrative services we offer include:

 

Chiropractic Adjustments or Spinal Manipulations

Chiropractic adjustments and spinal manipulations are used on affected joints and vertebrae throughout the body and spine. Using a controlled manual thrust to the targeted area, we can restore proper joint motion, re-establish correct function and movement patterns, and alleviate pain for patients of all ages. 


In many cases, adjustments provide immediate relief and improved range of motion, flexibility, and structural health.


Soft Tissue Therapies & Myofascial Release

The soft tissues consist of muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and other connective tissues throughout the body. When the tissues become stretched, torn, inflamed, sprained, strained, or otherwise injured, movement, function, and comfort can be hindered.

We will find the cause of your injury and use any number of effective soft tissue treatments to encourage healing and restoration. 


Our family chiropractic clinic uses soft tissue therapies, including myofascial release, instrument-assisted methods, cupping, and taping, to treat numerous conditions and symptoms, such as: 

  • Headaches 
  • Back pain and lumbar pain (low back pain)
  • Neck pain and stiffness, including whiplash
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Shoulder pain
  • Hip pain and sciatica pain
  • Nerve impingement
  • And more 

Dry Needling

Dry needling involves the insertion of very thin needles over affected tissues to create a safe, controlled lesion in the body. The lesion initiates improved circulation, carrying healthy blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the injury. 

Dry needling is safe and usually painless, often providing immediate relaxation of the musculature. 


Functional Rehabilitation 

Functional rehabilitation is created uniquely for the patient based on their injury and abilities. Our sports chiropractor will combine corrective exercise and stretching plans to encourage healing, function, and strength. 

We often use blood flow restriction therapy for rehabilitation. This method improves muscle strength in specific areas by restricting 80% of blood flow. It allows deep muscle work without significant load-bearing on damaged joints and tissues.

We’ve seen blood flow restriction therapy get significant results for many injuries, including post-surgical knee arthritis and ankle sprains. 


Our rehabilitation plans offer many benefits, including:

  • Reinstated proper movement patterns 
  • Corrected joint and tissue function
  • Improved health, strength, flexibility, posture, movements, and more
  • Corrected asymmetries in the spine, joints, and soft tissues 
  • Improved core strength 

Sports Chiropractic Care Services

Sports chiropractic and sports rehabilitation go hand-in-hand. We understand the frustration that comes with athletic injuries. You’ve likely put a lot of time into training and made numerous sacrifices for your sport. 

Let our noninvasive sports chiropractic services find the cause of your symptoms so the injury can be efficiently cared for. We don’t turn to pain-masking medication or aggressive solutions that can cause further harm and extended downtime; instead, we focus on the root cause of your pain so you can get back to your activities safely and pain-free. 

Our sports rehabilitation ensures you get full strength and flexibility back, reducing your risk of re-injury, and we’ll provide invaluable guidance and support to help you meet or surpass your athletic goals. 


Family Chiropractic Care

From prenatal chiropractic care to active seniors, our Rochester family chiropractic clinic provides conservative care for the whole family. 

Whether you have pregnancy discomfort, a toddler learning to walk, a high school track star, an old football injury that’s flaring up, can’t find time to implement exercise into your routine, or you’re preparing for a triathlon, we’re confident we can determine a working chiropractic strategy, no matter the age or stage of the patient.


Other services we offer include:

  • McKenzie Method
  • NormaTec recovery 
  • Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) 
  • Nutrition guidance 
  • DOT testing  
  • Take-home exercises and lifestyle education for at-home rehabilitation and strengthening
