How Can We Help?
-
Neck & Back Pain
From headaches to foot pain, the spine can be the source for a myriad of conditions. We see patients every day with disc injuries, facet arthritis, and stenosis.
-
Joint Pain
Pain in the extremities is the result of reduced motion and strength, leading to wear and tear on the joints and supportive soft tissues.
-
Nerve Pain
Nerves commonly get stuck (entrapped) and irritated by adhesion, causing numbness, tingling, burning, or aching.

What Makes Us Different?
We take your problem very seriously. Our patients have failed conservative care or surgery, meaning something has been missed.
In our experience that ‘something’ is adhesion (scar tissue/fibrosis), which develops from trauma, overuse, and prolonged posture.
Adhesion is a build up of connective tissue, limiting the length and strength of muscles & tendons. It entraps (sticks) nerves to adjacent tissues, resulting in weakness/instability.
Limited motion and instability lead to joint damage, degeneration, and pain. Nerve entrapments can irritate nerves, causing burning, tingling, or numbness.
Despite the significant role of adhesion in chronic pain, it is rarely diagnosed accurately or treated effectively, which is why it’s our specialty. Adhesion isn’t treated with traditional therapies or surgery which may explain your pain. Our job is to find out.
Less Pain. More Fun.
the discussion
We take time to understand what’s going on and what matters most. Everything that follows is shaped by this step, so decisions are grounded in clarity, not guesswork.
Our Process
2. The exam
3. the work
We assess how your body moves and feels to identify meaningful limitations. This gives us a clear baseline and informs realistic expectations moving forward.
4. Lasting Change
Focused, hands-on care - guided by your exam - to restore movement and build strength. Progress develops as your body adapts and recovers under the right conditions.
This phase preserves progress and longevity through strategic intermittent care with a frequency that reflects your diagnosis, activity level, and long-term goals.
Less Pain. More motion.
