Services by Specialty:

Lactation

  • At this first visit we’ll review your history and discuss any specific goals or issues that you might have. Then I’ll perform an oral assessment, observe a feeding or pumping session, and we’ll create a care plan. This will include specific, actionable goals and I’ll provide you with additional resources as needed. Documentation will be sent to your pediatrician and OBGYN as indicated.

  • After your initial visit, we’ll continue to work on your breast feeding and/or pumping goals and troubleshoot any issues that may arise.

  • In some circumstances, it’s best to have an in-home visit and these are offered on an as-needed basis. Please reach out via the contact form to schedule this visit type.

Pelvic Floor

  • At this first visit we’ll review your history and discuss your primary complaint and specific goals. Then a physical examination will be performed, including neurological and orthopedic tests and functional movement screening tests. Depending on your complaint, you may or may not have an internal exam on the first visit (and it’s always up to you if we do that), but you’ll leave with homework after this first exam.

  • After your initial visit, we’ll set a follow up visit with specific measurable outcome changes such as a decrease in pain, an increase in function or control of certain muscles, etc. Then we’ll follow up on these goals. We may or may not perform another examination as that is dependent on your complaint and whether or not you performed your homework as directed.

  • This visit type includes a more detailed examination where we take another brief history. You select this type if it’s been at least 3 months since your previous visit or if you have a new issue or injury that you would like to discuss. We will then perform another more detailed physical to examine the new complaint region.

Chiropractic

  • At this first visit we’ll review your history, I’ll perform a physical examination, a detailed neuro and orthopedic examination for the complaint region (neck, low back, shoulder, etc.) functional movement screening tests, and then if it safe to receive treatment then we’ll move on to the manual therapy (think deep tissue massage), cupping, etc. that is indicated by your exam findings. At the end of your visit we’ll review next steps and you’ll receive exercises to perform at home.

  • After your initial visit, we’ll set a follow up visit with specific measurable outcome changes such as a decrease in pain (severity or frequency), an increase in function, etc. Then we’ll follow up on these goals. After a brief review we’ll move right into the manual therapy portion of your treatment and you’ll receive exercises to perform at home to help prolong your results and decrease the likelihood of them returning to pre-treatment status.

  • This visit type includes a more detailed examination where we take another brief history. You select this type if it’s been at least 3 months since your previous visit or if you have a new issue or injury that you would like to discuss. We will then perform another more detailed physical to examine the new complaint region.

Techniques

  • Certified through Herman and Wallace, this is a specific treatment approach for pelvic health, pelvic dysfunction, and interventions for rehabilitation. This is for the treatment of conditions including urinary incontinence, chronic pelvic pain (CPP), and pelvic organ prolapse. As well as interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS), pelvic neuralgias, vulvar pain, and dyspareunia.

  • Similar to massage, this hands-on technique, involves skilled movements and pressure applied to muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia to address pain, improve mobility, and restore function. Specific techniques include trigger point, cross friction, myofascial release, massage, and instrument assisted (Graston is the trade-marked name for this).

  • Joint mobilizations and/or Chiropractic adjustments using gentle pressure in the direction of joint movement when range of motion is restricted.

  • Soundwaves will be delivered by the ultrasound machine to create a vibration in the soft tissues at a cellular level. This provides a micro massage which helps to reduce inflammation and pain in the affected areas.

    This is also very affective at treating acute mastitis because it helps to unclog the ducts and encourage breast drainage which leads to a gradual reduction of signs and symptoms.

  • Cupping is a manual therapy technique designed to enhance muscle recovery and promote healing. It involves placing special cups, typically made of glass, silicone, or plastic, on the skin to create suction. This suction helps increase blood flow, relieve muscle tension, and facilitate fascial release by loosening tight fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs. By improving circulation and relaxing tight muscles, cupping can help alleviate pain, increase mobility, and improve overall flexibility. It is particularly effective for targeting chronic pain, muscle stiffness, and postural imbalances. While cupping marks may appear on the skin, they usually fade after a few days, making it a non-invasive, effective therapy when combined with chiropractic care.  

  • This is a specific type of elastic tape used to support muscles, ligaments, and tendons, promoting movement efficiency and potentially aiding in pain reduction and injury recovery.

    This is used to support sprained ankles, increase fascial mobilization over pain sites, and even provide belly support during pregnancy.

  • This is a non-invasive physiotherapy treatment that uses electrical stimulation to manage pain and promote healing by delivering two medium-frequency currents that intersect and interfere within the body's tissues. This current is applied using sticky electrodes in the area of complaint which creates an interference pattern that penetrates deeper into the tissues than traditional electrical stimulation techniques. 

    This interference is thought to help relieve pain by stimulating the body's natural pain-response mechanisms, increasing blood flow, and promoting healing. 

    IFC is often used to treat chronic pain, muscle spasms, post-surgical pain, joint injuries, arthritis, and soft tissue injuries. 

  • Webster technique is used to decrease the pain and biomechanical dysfunction as a result of pregnancy. When the uterus expands, it shifts our center of gravity forward which increases the curvature of our low back. Gentle soft tissue work and adjustments help decrease the symptoms that arise from these changes.

  • Exercises specifically designed to help recover from the biomechanical changes as a result of pregnancy. These are often focused on helping to close Diastasis Rectus Abdominis (DRA) and improve postural dysfunction as a result of baby-wearing and breastfeeding.

Cupping

This technique mobilizes fascia and increases circulation in the primary complaint region which helps decrease pain and inflammation.

Ultrasound for Mastitis

Chiropractic management including ultrasound therapy was a beneficial treatment for women presenting with blocked ducts and difficulties breastfeeding.

Manual Therapy

When combined with exercise, manual therapy makes a significant difference in reducing pain and increasing function than exercise alone.

Athletic Taping/K-tape

Kinesiotaping increases joint proprioception including force and position sensing which can help prevent increased injury or re-injury of the affected location.

Joint Mobilizations, Adjustments

Adjustments and joint mobilizations result in an immediate increase in pain threshold (decrease in perceived pain).
