Services
Chiropractic Therapy
Our chiropractic therapy addresses musculoskeletal issues through precise joint adjustments. This treatment improves mobility, reduces pain, and enhances nervous system function for patients with back pain, sports injuries, and chronic conditions. Our doctors use diversified techniques tailored to individual needs.
Spinal Decompression
Non-surgical spinal decompression utilizes the DRX9000 system to relieve disc-related pain. This FDA-cleared technology gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure to rehydrate discs and alleviate symptoms from herniated or degenerative discs without invasive procedures.
Active Release Technique
ART targets muscle overuse injuries through precise manual therapy. Our certified practitioners address adhesions and scar tissue in muscles, tendons, and ligaments to resolve conditions like plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and sports-related soft tissue damage with immediate results.
Sports Performance Coaching
The ProMaker Performance Academy offers evidence-based coaching for injury prevention and performance enhancement. Our programs combine biomechanical analysis, functional training, and recovery strategies to help athletes of all levels improve performance while minimizing injury risks through smarter training approaches.
Functional Diagnostic Nutrition
This specialized nutrition program identifies root causes of health issues through functional lab testing. Our practitioners develop personalized dietary protocols to address digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and chronic inflammation by focusing on biochemical individuality and natural healing processes.

Report
I saw Dr Erickson two thirds of the way through Ranger School. Prior back injuries were flaring up again and, after meeting with him, he identified that I had also injured my supraspinatus tendon to the point where I couldn't do lateral raises with a 10lb weight. Thankfully, through a couple sessions and recommended rubber-band exercises, I was able to recover, get back to Ranger School two weeks later, and complete it with no back or shoulder issues!
