Chiropractic Care That Makes Sense for Real Life

Chiropractic care at my practice is not built around a single technique or routine. It’s built around you, your body, your goals, your lifestyle, and how all of those change over time.

Care blends thorough assessment, skilled hands-on manual therapy, movement-based rehabilitation, and education to support pain relief, performance, and long-term health.

Below are the primary areas of care I focus on. If you don’t see yourself clearly in one category, that’s okay, care is always individualized.

Pain, Injury & Rehabilitation

Support for acute injuries, flare-ups, and ongoing musculoskeletal concerns.

This includes care for:

  • Back, neck, hip, and shoulder pain

  • Muscle strains and joint injuries

  • Postural and movement-related pain

  • Work, sport, or activity-related injuries

Care focuses on understanding why symptoms are happening, addressing contributing factors, and building a plan that supports recovery, not just temporary relief.

Women’s Health Chiropractic

A dedicated area of clinical focus informed by advanced training and experience in women’s health.

Care may include support for:

  • Pregnancy-related pain and movement changes

  • Postpartum and C-section recovery

  • Pelvic, hip, core, and low back concerns

  • Return to exercise and sport after childbirth

  • Menstrual-cycle-related pain and inflammation

  • Perimenopause, menopause, and active aging

Care respects the physiological, hormonal, and biomechanical differences of the female body across the lifespan.

Athletic & Active Care

Chiropractic care for athletes and active individuals who want to move well, perform better, and recover smarter.

This includes:

  • Sport-specific assessment and treatment

  • Injury rehabilitation and return-to-play planning

  • Mobility, recovery, and performance support

  • “Game-ready” care for training or competition days

  • A conservative, progressive no-surgery approach when appropriate

Whether you’re competitive, recreational, or simply value staying active, care is designed to support longevity and resilience.

Headaches, Jaw Pain & TMJ

Assessment and care for conditions that often involve multiple contributing factors.

This may include:

  • Tension-type headaches

  • Cervicogenic headaches

  • Jaw pain, clenching, or grinding

  • TMJ-related symptoms

  • Neck and upper back contributors

Care looks beyond the jaw or head alone, addressing movement, muscle tension, posture, and nervous system involvement.

Arthritis & Joint Health

Evidence-based support for individuals managing osteoarthritis or degenerative joint conditions.

Care focuses on:

  • Pain management

  • Joint mobility and strength

  • Activity modification and pacing

  • Long-term movement and lifestyle planning

The goal is to support independence, confidence in movement, and quality of life, not avoidance of activity.

Health & Lifestyle Coaching

For individuals who want to better understand how lifestyle factors influence pain, performance, and recovery.

Coaching may support:

  • Stress and nervous system regulation

  • Sleep and recovery strategies

  • Movement habits and training load

  • Nutrition fundamentals and inflammation

  • Sustainable routines that support long-term health

Health coaching can be integrated alongside hands-on care or offered as a stand-alone service.

What All Services Have in Common

Regardless of the reason you’re seeking care, you can expect:

  • Longer, unrushed appointments

  • Skilled hands-on manual therapy

  • Clear explanations and education

  • A plan that evolves as you progress

  • Care designed to complement other healthcare when appropriate

There is no cookie-cutter treatment, care adapts as your body and goals change.
