Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper joint movement through precise adjustments. By addressing spinal and extremity joint dysfunction, we alleviate pain and improve mobility. Combining adjustments with soft tissue work ensures lasting results for conditions like back pain, neck pain, and sports injuries.
Active Release Technique
Active Release Technique (ART) targets muscle, tendon, and nerve issues through hands-on therapy. Certified practitioners use tension and movement to break up adhesions, restoring tissue function. Effective for carpal tunnel, plantar fasciitis, and chronic pain, with results often seen in 3-6 sessions.
Graston Technique
Graston Technique uses specialized tools to break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. This non-invasive method improves range of motion and reduces pain, particularly effective for fibrotic tissues. Most patients experience significant relief within 3-6 visits.
Dry Needling
Dry needling addresses stubborn muscle knots by restoring blood flow and triggering healing. Fine needles target trigger points without medication, often providing immediate relief. Certified practitioners integrate this technique with other therapies for optimal outcomes.
Clinical Massage
Clinical massage combines deep tissue work and myofascial release to alleviate chronic tightness. Our certified therapists use sports therapy and active stretching techniques to improve mobility. Covered by select insurance plans when part of a chiropractic treatment plan.

Dr. Drynan is a miracle worker. I had sharp pain in my hip for over a month and in one session, he fixed it. He is professional, friendly and listens intently. I have recommended him to friends who all have said the same thing. Everyone in the office is great too. And, they are dog-friendly. A definite bonus in my opinion!

Amazing! They don't create a situation where you have to keep coming back like some other places, they actually work on getting you better. I was in really bad shape a few months ago where I could barely stand and walk, but with the professionals here working my back and giving me personalized techniques to help eliminate my pain I was better and back to my old active self after a few visits. I can't thank these people enough.
