Adjustments Are Most Important, Age is not a Factor

Our techniques include Flexion Distraction (with State of the Art Hill Airflex Tables), Activator,  Pelvic blocking, and Drop Adjusting.  We utilize traditional Diversified and Osseous / side posture manipulation.  We adjust, manipulate and mobilize segments of the spine and extremities  for maximum effectiveness.  We utilize lighter techniques whenever possible.   We read Medscape almost daily to remain current with all sorts of health conditions focusing on the most effective management of your conditions as things change.  We remain current in our industry, continuing to improve what we do.  

We treat patients of all ages, for all sorts of problems.  Generally speaking, we only accept patients that we can communicate with and understand what we are doing.  We are not treating infants. We do treat kids, and they usually get better very quickly with the conservative care techniques we use.   You can't be too old or too young.   And we treat pregnant patients as well. 

Graston Therapy (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation) / Massage

Both Dr.Dave and Dr.Tina are Advanced Graston Certified  Practitioners!  We utilize Graston and find it to be an amazingly effective treatment for many different problems you may present with.  It is especially effective in the management of Orthopedic and Extremity complaints.  Patients find this treatment to be relaxing.  We tailor your treatment to your tolerance.  Graston does not need to hurt to be effective.  We communicate with our patients to make sure they are comfortable with the care we provide them.   We do not believe "no pain / no gain" has any business in your treatment plan!!  For further information on the Graston Technique go to https://grastontechnique.com/

Other Modalities May Be What is Missing From Your Treatment

We routinely use Ice and Moist Heat, Therapeutic Ultrasound,  and Therapeutic Cold Laser Therapies.  We utilize techniques such as Therapeutic Stretching, Myofascial release, and assist patients to perform resistive and rehabilitative exercises or stretching.    We also have a recumbent bicycle in the office to have patients use it to treat lower extremity problems, aerobic strengthening and pain control.  All of these techniques take more time and effort to do,, but they speed up your healing and get you better quicker and out of pain longer.

Pain and Function Is Most Important

We treat patients that are in pain or have lost the ability to function comfortably.  If you are in  pain or cannot move comfortably in your environment, we want to improve this!   Even if you have no pain, you may not be able to do the things you need to or want to do.  Your condition may be the result of a Car Accident, Work Related injury, or as simple as you think you "slept wrong" or woke up with pain for no reason at all.  It can be related to some other slip, fall, or sports Injury, or a problem that crept up on you over time.  We take the time to sit and speak with you one on one to determine what is going on,.  We will examine you to find out what your diagnosis is and create the best treatment plan of what WE need to do to get you better.   

What To Expect In Our Office : Lets Make This Quick But....

We can generally get you in the same day,.  Emergencies are a Priority!  We can email you forms to save time spent in the office.  We encourage our emergency patients to text us if they need to reach us.  


Plan to complete about 15 minutes of paperwork. 


Initial exam visits take about 1 hour.  We sit down face to face with you to talk about your history, prior problems and treatment, and discuss your questions and concerns.   You may need to change into a pair of shorts or into an examination gown if necessary.  You do not need to take all your clothes off!   Your examination consists of checking your range of motion, performing some Orthopedic / provocative tests, maybe tap some reflexes, check sensation and strength, palpate (poke ) the area of concern, all to determine what is wrong with you.   We will talk and decide together if you need any testing before care begins. Over 90 percent of our patients are treated on their first visit without needing outside testing!!!   You will be offered choices and opportunities along the way to ask questions.  We will then explain what treatment is, what it will feel like and what to expect before, during and after treatment.   Routine treatment visits generally take about 20-25 minutes. 

Expectations, Sure You Have Some, We Do Too

You expect to be treated with respect, honesty  kindness, and compassion.     You want us to respect your time, your personal space, your choices and your wallet.  This is what's missing from our current healthcare system.    You expect we can help you.  That is why we are here for you.


We expect to spoil you like family and friends, offering the best care based on patient need, not doctor greed.  We expect you will keep your appointments to get the care needed to get you well.   We expect you to ask questions and be involved with your care.  We expect to exceed your expectations and impress you with great outcomes and progress so you feel comfortable referring us your family and friends.  We expect you will get better here, which is different than most other offices.  That's why we are different!   If we don't expect to help you, we hope to help you find another path along the way to achieve this goal.
