Chiropractic:
This is a system of health care that releases a serious stress from the body through a specific adjustment placed into the body through an adjustment (manual or Activator instrument) to re-align misaligned joints. This will allow for proper motion in the joint thus releasing the strangle hold on our nerves, muscles and ligaments that cause pain, numbness, tingling, stiffness, neuropathies, fatigue, weakness, and all together not a happy person. Dr. Workman uses modalities such as electrical stimulation, ultrasound, cold-laser therapy, and mechanical traction to allow relaxation and regrowth of your injured tissues.
Graston Technique®:
Changing the way soft tissue injuries are treated.Graston Technique® is an innovative, patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. The technique utilizes specially designed stainless steel instruments to specifically detect and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation. Preventing acute injuries from becoming chronic and reversing the outcomes on conditions once thought to be permanent.
Fascia is a sheet or band of fibrous connective tissue enveloping, separating, or binding together muscles, organs, and other soft structures of the body. The fascia, along with the muscles can develop scar tissue, adhesions, and/or trigger points that may be the cause of over-use injuries or pain syndromes.

Custom Orthotics:
Your feet are the foundation of your body, supporting you when you stand and move; and they help protect your spine, bones and soft tissues from damaging stress. Your feet perform better, and your body is more balanced, when all their muscles, arches and bones are in their ideal stable positions.Research shows that flat feet transmit stress to your ankles, knees, pelvis and ultimately your spine. Healthy feet have 3 arches. If there is compromise of one arch, the other 2 must compensate and are subject to additional stresses. These imbalances may occur even if you’re not experiencing foot pain. Though they may go unnoticed, they contribute to postural misalignments, pain throughout your body and fatigue.
Healthcare professionals know alleviating pain in one part of your body often requires treating a different part. The pain you feel in your neck could be caused by a misalignment in your spine that is caused by unbalanced positioning in your feet. Like a domino effect…
