Many people refer to this as "cracking" the joints. We do not "crack joints/bones"; we restore proper skeletal alignment/motion through manual and instrument assisted adjustments. When our skeleton is in alignment, natural healing can occur for our muscles and joints.

This is when we take care of everything that is not bone. This means taking care of the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It includes, but is not limited to: massage therapy, myofascial release, muscle scraping, and assisted stretches. The soft tissues work hand-in-hand with the skeleton, literally dictating how we move!

Using Chinese philosophy, we place needles on certain parts of the body to assist in the healing process. Needles are approximately the width of a strand of hair, and most patients do not even feel the needles "pinch" as they are inserted. The needles are not always placed on the exact area of pain because the location of the pain may not be the location of the problem.

Whether it be an acute injury or a chronic pain, a lot of our body aches arise from us not using our bodies the correct way! In the age of technology we live in, a sedentary life style is more common place than it has ever been before. And because of that, our bodies have been adapting to technology and creating problems such as "Tech-Neck" and lower back pain from sitting too long. So in order to solve these problems, we have to start moving again, but the correct way.
