Active Release Techniques
Active Release Techniques (ART) is a patented soft-tissue system that diagnoses and treats muscle, tendon, and nerve injuries. Our certified practitioners use precise movements to break adhesions and restore normal tissue function. This evidence-based method effectively addresses carpal tunnel syndrome, sports injuries, and chronic pain conditions while complementing chiropractic adjustments for comprehensive care.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic care combines diversified techniques including Diversified, Activator Methods, and Sacro-Occipital Technique. These manual adjustments restore proper joint movement, alleviate nerve compression, and improve overall musculoskeletal function. Treatment plans integrate spinal adjustments with extremity work to address both immediate pain and underlying biomechanical imbalances.
Postural Therapy
Egoscue Postural Therapy uses customized exercise sequences to correct musculoskeletal misalignments. This non-invasive approach strengthens specific muscle groups to restore proper body alignment and eliminate pain caused by postural imbalances. Patients learn self-care techniques to maintain improvements and prevent future issues through improved movement patterns.
Graston Technique
Graston Technique employs specialized stainless-steel instruments to detect and treat soft-tissue restrictions. This evidence-based method effectively resolves chronic pain, scar tissue, and movement limitations from conditions like plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow. Combined with chiropractic care, it accelerates recovery by breaking down fascial adhesions and promoting tissue healing.
Progressive Rehabilitation
Our rehabilitation programs integrate movement assessments (SFMA/FMS) with progressive exercises to restore optimal function. Tailored plans address specific weaknesses while maintaining overall fitness during recovery. This approach enables patients to continue active lifestyles while healing from injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions through targeted strengthening and mobility work.

I came to Bruce's office with a very prominent limp in my stride and left with my walking and overall mobility much improved. As background information I'm over 60 and a former professional dancer with a life-time of movement training, teaching and performing. As an older individual I gradually lost mobility in my left hip over time. While it is still not perfect the range of motion and progress was way more than I expected.
I am able to do almost everything that I enjoy both in terms of strong vigorous hikes, many hours of Classical Pilates and strength training, in addition to new general body movement patterns learned from Bruce. He is a strong, educated practitioner who I highly recommend. You're in good hands for sure.

From super sweet and helpful Tony at the front desk to Dr. Rizzo I couldn't be more pleased with this practice. I've had a complicated overuse injury in my shoulder and Bruce's expertise with ART has been hugely beneficial. The practice is wheelchair accessible and parking is no problem. Even if it were, I would gladly circle for parking to get the skilled treatment Dr. Rizzo provides!

I am not so enthusiastic about big adjustments. My wife saw Bruce Rizzo and he helped her. My experience has been excellent. My hip was out and off to the side and I was in pain. He adjusted me and I walked out whole. Other injuries and imbalances- I have also received help with. I have become a believer and recommend Bruce highly. A very skilled and intuitive professional.
