Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders through manual spinal adjustments. Our chiropractors address conditions like back pain, neck pain, and headaches using non-invasive techniques. This drug-free approach helps improve mobility, reduce nerve irritation, and enhance overall nervous system function. Patients receive personalized treatment plans tailored to their specific pain points and wellness goals.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy restores functionality through targeted exercises and manual techniques. We treat post-injury recovery, chronic pain, and mobility limitations using evidence-based interventions. Therapists create customized programs combining strength training, flexibility exercises, and therapeutic modalities. The goal is to help patients regain independence and prevent future injuries while addressing conditions like arthritis and sports-related trauma.
Acupuncture Therapy
Acupuncture therapy utilizes thin needles placed at specific points to relieve pain and stimulate healing. This ancient practice addresses chronic pain, migraines, and stress-related conditions by improving energy flow and reducing inflammation. Combined with modern techniques, it offers a holistic approach to managing musculoskeletal issues. Patients benefit from reduced pain levels and improved circulation during treatment sessions.
Sports Medicine
Sports medicine specializes in treating sports-related injuries and enhancing athletic performance. Our specialists address sprains, fractures, and overuse injuries using advanced diagnostic tools and therapeutic interventions. Treatments include joint mobilization, muscle activation, and conditioning programs. This service helps athletes of all levels recover faster while preventing re-injury through targeted rehabilitation strategies.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves. This non-surgical treatment addresses bulging discs, sciatica, and chronic back pain through motorized traction techniques. It promotes nutrient flow to damaged discs while reducing nerve compression. Patients experience pain relief and improved spinal alignment through consistent decompression therapy sessions.

Report
I started seeing PMR about a year ago. I was in extremely bad back pain. It hurt to walk. My husband had come here and suggested going in to see if I could gain relief. I found out through X-rays completed in the office, I had disc issues. I left crying thinking my back would never feel better. I started seeing PMR twice a week and little by little through their coarse of treatment my back started feeling so much better.
I am so grateful for this office and the relief I am feeling. I still come twice a month and always look forward to my appointments. My back always feels amazing when I leave. And I enjoy the benefits regular chiropractic care provides. In addition to a few other things I am doing, this is the first fall I have not suffered from seasonal allergies. I have heard regular adjustments can help. I highly recommend this office.
I can't express how thankful I am for finding an incredible office that provides not only adjustments, but so much more to help with a variety of issues. If you're looking for a chiropractor, thus is a great office to see.

Great people, fantastic place. 3 sessions in and I feel like a "real boy" again. Helping me fix 25 plus years of neglecting my body whilst working, spawned by a recent thoracic injury. I'm headed towards symmetry. Fantastic!

There is only one way to describe this place; FANTASTIC! The therapists are incredible. The are very knowledgeable and empathetic. I was going to PT for 5 months for what I thought was a minor injury. They stuck by me the entire process and never gave up on me. Now, I'm finally all better. The rest of the staff are also awesome; from the receptionist to the head Dr. Everyone knew me by first name.
The staff was always incredibly cheerful and welcoming. I've had a knee surgery, two back surgeries, and countless other sports related injuries. I know physical therapy offices because I have been to a lot. These guys are simply the best. Do yourself a favor and go there.

After my ACL repair, I had specific goals to return to normal activities and eventually return to skiing. Dr. Tilden and therapists Laura Unson and Natalia Glenn crafted sessions that were very effective in my recovery. Just as important to me, they constantly emphasized safety during the sessions and in the recommendations for activities between sessions. I have been very satisfied.
