Our Doctors also have PT (Physical Therapy) privileges. Meaning they are not only trained in Chiropractic but also have the same education and training as physical therapists for muscular-skeletal conditions.
Why use PT with Chiropractic?
Most macro and micro-injuries whether from an event trauma, or simple wear and tear of life all benefit from the combined efforts of both Chiropractic and PT. Whether you have an alignment issue or a muscle issue first you now have both. While PT is an effective stand-alone therapy when performed by our skilled doctors, it has a synergistic effect when combined with chiropractic care.
Why will PT help?
We employ a variety of passive therapies to:
help with pain, swelling, numbness, and tingling
stretch and strengthen affected muscles and tissues
rehab and stabilize injuries and disorders leading to your pain
help recover from temporary disability
enhance performance and strengthen the core
Comprehensive Care Plans Include PT

PT in a Chiropractic Office vs PT in a PT Office.
We are often asked what the difference in PT in a chiropractic office and in a PT office. For muscular-skeletal conditions, they are very similar. The benefits to combining the care into one location is:
Time: Saves time as you are only managing one step of appts
Consistency in care: one provider is managing both services
One copay: Copays are a flat fee no matter if you receive chiro care only or PT as well
Goals of Physical Therapy in Your Treatment Plan
The goals of physical therapy are to promote mobility, restore function & ADLs (Activities of Daily Living), reduce pain, and prevent future or further disease and injury. This is done by increasing range of motion, strengthening, stretching, and improving coordination and balance.

Seem too good to be true? Not really. It all starts with knowing how the body and parts are supposed to function, identifying what’s not working properly, and then fixing that. Be that with chiropractic, physical therapy, acupuncture, and/or massage.
