Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments restore proper spinal alignment to alleviate pain and improve nervous system function. Using manual techniques and advanced tools like the Impulse iQ, we address subluxations that cause discomfort. Patients experience reduced inflammation, improved mobility, and enhanced overall wellness through regular adjustments tailored to their specific needs.
Foundation Training
Foundation Training teaches decompression techniques to counteract modern postural stress from sitting and technology use. These exercises strengthen core and posterior muscles to improve spinal alignment. Patients learn personalized routines that can be done anywhere to maintain treatment benefits between visits and prevent future issues.
Movement Assessment
Selective Functional Movement Assessment identifies abnormal movement patterns causing chronic pain. By analyzing how patients move, we create targeted treatment plans combining adjustments and corrective exercises. This approach addresses root causes rather than symptoms, leading to lasting improvements in mobility and pain reduction.
Exercise Therapy
Customized exercise programs complement chiropractic care by strengthening supporting muscles and improving flexibility. Our therapy includes stretches and strengthening routines tailored to individual conditions. Patients receive hands-on instruction to ensure proper form and effectiveness in maintaining spinal health between adjustments.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Soft tissue therapies address muscular components of spinal misalignments through massage, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation. These treatments reduce inflammation, break up scar tissue, and promote healing in affected areas. Combined with adjustments, they accelerate recovery and enhance overall treatment effectiveness for musculoskeletal conditions.

Report
I arrived in acute pain due to a back injury at CrossFit. (I learned later this is a well traveled path.) My wife found out about Dr. Kevin English through Foundation Training. I was there for about 5 weekly visits which not only eliminated my pain but strengthen the posterior chain and develop new movement patterns to not get injured again. Highly recommended!
