Chiropractic adjustments are a powerful treatment tool that can quickly reduce pain and help restore function and performance faster.

The overall goal of functional rehabilitation is to get you back to an active lifestyle. We will be there with you every step of the way.
What Is The Process?
If you are interested in functional rehab, it is important to know what to expect from your first session:
At your first appointment, the rehabilitation team will assess your needs and develop a treatment plan. As part of the diagnostic process, we assess the area of dysfunction in the context of how the parts of your whole body work together.
During the physical examination, we look at your body mechanics such as the range of motion of joints, muscle strength, muscle control, and fundamental patterns of movement with an array of functional diagnostics.
Developing The Path To Recovery
We then develop a care plan for you. The plan may include a combination of various techniques of physical therapy and occupational therapy according to your specific needs. Chiropractic care also plays an important role in functional rehabilitation, helping to alleviate pain and improve mobility. The team works with you to set goals for your treatment and develops a plan that may include manual therapy, body stabilization, agility training, and other rehab exercises.
What To Expect
After you have started the program, it is important to keep up with your appointments and follow the treatment plan. You may need to see the rehabilitation team several times a week or just once a month. The frequency of your appointments will depend on your needs and goals.
If you stick with the program, you can expect to see improvements in your ability to function independently. With time and practice, you will regain skills and abilities that you may have lost due to your injury.
