Physical Therapy
Physical therapy focuses on movement, strength and function during recovery from musculoskeletal conditions or procedures.
Treatment can include tailored exercises, manual therapy and other modalities. The goals are to manage discomfort, improve mobility and support a safe return to daily activities. Your therapist develops an individual plan around your condition, limitations and recovery needs.
Ask our team about referrals to a therapy facility and options for guided care at home. The setting and availability depend on your needs and the receiving provider.

Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care focuses on musculoskeletal concerns involving the spine, joints and soft tissues. Care may combine hands-on techniques with exercise, rehabilitation and advice about daily activities.
Spinal manipulation is one possible technique, not a requirement for every patient. Discuss your diagnosis, previous procedures, medications and potential risks with your care team before treatment.

Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles into the skin at selected points. It may be considered alongside physical therapy or other care for certain pain conditions, including some back, neck and joint pain.
Benefits vary by condition and individual. Discuss the evidence, potential risks and practitioner qualifications with your healthcare team before deciding whether it fits your care plan.
