I approach the body with the belief that proper motion and function of the
body is essential for optimal health.  If pain comes from inflamed body parts, and
if those body parts happen to be muscle, joints, or any of the tissue that
connects them, then there was some sort of stress put on them to create the
inflammation, and that's exactly what I am going to try to fix.  The desire is to
correct the physical stress so the inflammation and pain goes away.

Analyses of your body is the key to solving your case (pain).

My approach combines focused soft tissue (muscles, ligaments, tendons, and
connective tissue) analysis and treatment (
myofascial release, neuromuscular
therapy, deep tissue, strain-counter strain)  combined with the chiropractic
adjustment (for bone and joint restrictions) to correct painful and injured areas
of the body, then theraputic axercise activities to retrain you how to properly
use you body.  This tri-modal approach is one of the reasons successful
treatment of ailments has frequently been accomplished when other
procedures, (medication, physical therapy, other chiropractic treatments, and
surgery,) have failed.  

Receiving body work on a regular basis helps reduce physical and emotional
stresses incurred on a daily basis in our fast paced-technical, lazy, and
computerized society.  

Extended Sessions are for patients, whose issue simply needs more focus, time
and work to accomplish goals.  Extended sessions include a thorough focused
examination.  Treatment may include a very focused and intense type of
massage, chiropractic adjustment, functional taping and strapping, stretching,
exercise or home stretching exercises, ergonomic workplace adjustments, foot
analyses and balancing, and medical co-management.
