What chiropractic care can do for you?
Our Chiropractic Services
While the main service offered at the office is chiropractic adjustment, we also have a team of licensed massage therapists. Therapeutic massage before adjustment can allow better relaxation of musculoskeletal problems. Dr Ryan’s main techniques for adjustment include the Gonstead technique and Diversified technique which use high velocity low amplitutude (HVLA) manual adjustments to correct spinal subluxations.
As no problem can be addressed through adjustment alone, our office also offers many adjunctive modalities to reduce symptoms and pain associated with muscular problems including: interferential bipolar electricity, ultrasound, and intersegmental traction as well as active and passive range of motion stretching. Dr. Ryan is also available for education and coaching on at home stretching and exercising to increase flexibilitiy and improve mobility in all muscle regions of the body.
