Chiropractic and Physical Therapy

Treatment at our clinic is very different and is a blend of Physical Therapy and Chiropractic. New patient exams are generally 2 hours because we are committed to finding a solution instead of masking the problem. Most of this time is evaluating and changing how you move. We want you to learn how to help yourself and get you out of care as quickly as possible while our hands do the healing. B... Read More

Treatment at our clinic is very different and is a blend of Physical Therapy and Chiropractic. New patient exams are generally 2 hours because we are committed to finding a solution instead of masking the problem. Most of this time is evaluating and changing how you move. We want you to learn how to help yourself and get you out of care as quickly as possible while our hands do the healing. Because of this, we use movement as our primary intervention. This allows you to be in control of your own health and dramatically improves the amount of time to return you back to being fully functional. All patients will learn 3 patterns that we have found to have extremely high payout for time invested.

Breathing. Bracing. Hinging.

Generally, our treatment follows a simple plan: Move Better. Fix the tissue. Fix the joint.

Dry Needling and Acupuncture

With our people patients, it is common to work with conditions such as a herniated discs or a torn ACL and often our treatment offers an alternative to invasive procedures such as surgery. This conservative treatment often has a very high payoff in the long term and regularly removes the need for surgery. This is no different for animals. It is extremely important to us at Move Better to offer these alternative therapies to animals and let you, as the owner, know that surgery is not always your only option. A trial of conservative treatment can be very beneficial, as well as cost effective, to you and your animal. Of course, in certain cases a higher level of care is necessary and as an AVCA Certified Animal Chiropractor we are trained to recognize pathologies which will not benefit from our treatment capabilities. At this point we can help you find the best provider for your needs.
