Chiropractic care is a science-backed, hands-on approach to improving the body’s alignment, movement, and overall performance. By using precise adjustments to the spine and joints, chiropractic care helps restore proper motion, reduce tension, decrease inflammation, and optimize communication between the brain and body—key factors for anyone looking to move and perform at their best.
At Modern Motion Chiropractic, we specialize in care for athletes and active individuals, combining traditional chiropractic techniques with modern, evidence-based methods. Every new patient visit begins with a thorough consultation and orthopedic examination, allowing us to pinpoint the root cause of discomfort, address performance-limiting issues, and create a personalized treatment plan.

TECHNIQUES WE USE
We understand that each patient's needs and comfort levels are different. That’s why we offer a variety of adjustment techniques to suit individual preferences and health requirements.
Diversified Technique (HVLA): This is the most commonly used form of manipulation in chiropractic care. The Diversified Technique involves a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust that is quick and precise. This method is designed to restore proper movement and alignment of spine and joint functions.
Drop Table: Utilizes a specialized table with sections that drop slightly when force is applied. This method helps facilitate the adjustment while being gentle on the body.
Flexion/Distraction: Performed on a segmented table that moves, this technique is excellent for stretching the spine and relieving pressure on affected discs, often used for patients with disc injuries or sciatica.
ArthroStim & Activator: This uses a hand-held mechanical tool to provide a quick, low-force impulse at specific points along the spine, ideal for delicate areas or for patients who prefer a softer approach to spinal manipulation.
These diverse techniques allow us to tailor our treatments to each patient’s specific conditions and comfort level, ensuring a positive and effective chiropractic experience.
We specialize in extremity chiropractic adjustments that extend beyond spinal care to enhance overall body function and mobility. Our targeted adjustments focus on the joints of the body that experience high levels of use and stress during daily activities and sports. These adjustments include the foot, ankle, knee, hip, wrist, shoulder, jaw, and even the sinuses.
Foot and Ankle Adjustments: These adjustments help manage and prevent pain associated with plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and general foot discomfort. Proper alignment improves balance and walking/running efficiency.
Knee Adjustments: Aligning the knee joint can relieve conditions such as runner's knee and other forms of knee pain that stem from overuse, enhancing joint stability.
Hip Adjustments: Adjusting the hip can alleviate sciatic pain, improve range of motion, which can lead to overall better alignment and gait.
Wrist Adjustments: Especially beneficial for those who perform repetitive tasks with their hands, these adjustments can reduce the pain and stiffness associated with carpal tunnel syndrome and general wrist strain.
Shoulder Adjustments: These can help resolve shoulder impingement, frozen shoulder, and other shoulder-related issues, increasing range of motion and reducing pain.
Jaw (TMJ) Adjustments: Targeted at alleviating TMJ disorders, these adjustments can reduce jaw pain, headaches, and difficulties with chewing and speaking.
Sinus Adjustments: Gentle manipulations designed to relieve sinus pressure can improve sinus drainage and reduce congestion and sinus headaches.
Extremity adjustments are tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient, whether they're athletes looking to improve performance or individuals seeking relief from chronic discomfort.
We offer specialized youth adjustments tailored to children of all ages (0-18 years old). Understanding that each child is unique, we use a variety of techniques to ensure the adjustments are both gentle and effective. Whether your child is an infant, toddler, or teenager, we prioritize their comfort and safety, customizing our approach to suit their specific needs.
Techniques Used in Youth Adjustments
We employ a range of techniques designed to be both gentle and effective for children. Some of the methods we use include:
Manual Adjustments: Using gentle pressure and specific movements, we correct misalignments in the spine. Depending on the age of the child, these manipulations may look different than adult treatments, but are just as effective.
Activator Method: A handheld instrument delivers a controlled, light, and fast thrust to adjust the spine without causing discomfort.
ArthroStim: This tool provides a gentle yet effective adjustment by delivering rapid, low-force impulses, making it ideal for children of all ages, especially those who might be apprehensive about manual adjustments.
Soft Tissue Techniques: These involve gentle massage and stretching to address muscle tension and improve flexibility.

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) therapies are designed to enhance recovery, alleviate pain, and improve physical performance in conjunction with your chiropractic adjustments. Our range of IASTM therapies includes muscle scraping, cupping, and the use of Theragun, each tailored to meet the unique needs of our patients:
Muscle Scraping: This technique involves using a specialized tool to gently scrape areas of the skin overlying muscles. The goal is to enhance blood circulation and promote healing in the soft tissues.
Cupping Therapy: Cupping therapy uses suction cups that are placed on the skin to create a vacuum. This vacuum lifts the skin slightly, which increases blood flow to the area and stimulates muscle healing and relaxation. Cupping is beneficial for relieving muscle tension, reducing inflammation, and can help in detoxification.
Theragun (Percussive Therapy): The Theragun is a percussive therapy device that delivers rapid, repetitive pulses deep into the muscle tissue. This action helps to reduce muscle stiffness and soreness while increasing blood flow and lymphatic drainage.
Our IASTM therapies are designed not just to treat pain but to optimize overall body function, enhance range of motion, and facilitate a quicker return to peak performance. Whether you are recovering from an injury, looking to enhance your physical performance, or seeking relief from chronic pain, our tailored IASTM options can provide significant benefits.
NormaTec Recovery Systems as a cutting-edge solution for recovery and rehabilitation. NormaTec therapy is renowned for its use of dynamic compression to enhance the body's natural healing process and to provide a competitive edge in recovery technology. The system comprises a set of compression boots, or hip attachments that use carefully calibrated compression cycles, which mimic natural muscle contractions. This pulsing action effectively reduces swelling and inflammation post-exercise, promotes lymphatic drainage, and increases blood flow to the treated areas.
Enhanced Recovery: By increasing blood flow to the limbs, NormaTec therapy helps to deliver more oxygen and nutrients to sore muscles, which can significantly reduce recovery time.
Reduced Muscle Soreness: Post-workout muscle soreness is often a limiting factor in consistent training. NormaTec's dynamic compression mitigates this soreness, allowing for more frequent and intensive sessions.
Improved Circulation: The massage pattern employed by NormaTec is designed to mirror the body’s natural circulatory processes, enhancing the movement of blood and lymphatic fluids.
Decreased Swelling and Inflammation: After intense sessions, limbs can swell, which impedes proper recovery. NormaTec’s compression therapy helps reduce this swelling by encouraging fluid movement away from the limbs.
Relaxation: Beyond its physical benefits, the rhythmic pulsing and release of the compression cycles provide a relaxing, massage-like experience.
NormaTec therapy is an ideal complement to our suite of therapeutic options, offering a non-invasive way to boost recovery and maintain peak performance. Whether you are recovering from a marathon, healing from an injury, or simply looking to improve your training outcomes, NormaTec provides a substantial advantage in your health and recovery regimen.
We believe in empowering our patients to take an active role in their recovery. That's why we provide personalized at-home exercise and stretching programs tailored to complement your in-clinic treatments. These carefully curated routines are designed to accelerate your healing process, enhance your overall mobility, and prevent future injuries.
We provide detailed instructions and support to ensure you perform each exercise correctly and safely. We will demonstrate your recommended movements in the office and will give you access to an online platform, that includes videos & detailed instructions you can view at home.
