Conditions
Lumbar Stenosis
Lumbar stenosis is a condition where the spinal canal in the lower back narrows, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
Learn More
This can lead to pain, numbness, weakness, or difficulty with mobility in the legs and lower back. Lumbar stenosis can be caused by a variety of factors including degenerative changes in the spine, congenital anomalies, and injury.
Treatment
Treatment options may include SMT, myofascial release, rehabilitative exercise, e-stim, pain management, and in severe cases, surgery.
Arthritis
Arthritis is a group of diseases that cause inflammation in the joints and surrounding tissue, leading to pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility.
Learn More
There are many different types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis, each with its own causes and symptoms. Arthritis is most commonly seen in people over the age of 65, but it can affect people of any age and is often a result of normal wear and tear on the joints over time.
Treatment
Treatment options for arthritis can include medication, SMT, myofascial release, rehabilitative exercise, e-stim, and in severe cases, surgery. If surgery or pain management are needed, we are happy to work with any other providers involved.
Lumbar Disc Injury
Lumbar disc injuries refer to damage to the discs in the lower back, which act as cushions between the vertebrae and absorb shock from daily movements.
Learn More
These discs can become damaged over time due to wear and tear or sudden trauma, leading to conditions such as herniated discs or degenerative disc disease. Herniated discs occur when the inner gel-like substance bulges out of the disc and presses against the surrounding nerve roots, causing pain and numbness in the legs or lower back. Degenerative disc disease, on the other hand, is a natural part of aging where the discs lose their height and ability to absorb shock, leading to pain and stiffness in the lower back.
Treatment
Treatment options for lumbar disc injuries vary based on the severity of the injury and the individual’s symptoms. Nonsurgical options include SMT, myofascial release, flexion distraction, traction, rehabilitative exercise, pain management, and anti-inflammatory medication. In more severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the damaged portion of the disc or to fuse the affected vertebrae together. Surgical options include microdiscectomy, laminectomy, and spinal fusion. We are happy to co-manage with PCPs and neurosurgeons when needed

Migraines: Migraines are often accompanied by severe throbbing pain and can be accompanied by other symptoms such as sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and vomiting.
Cluster headaches: Cluster headaches are a type of headache that occur in clusters, causing sudden and intense pain, usually around one eye.
Sinus headaches: Sinus headaches are caused by inflammation in the sinuses and can be accompanied by symptoms such as pressure and pain around the forehead, cheeks, and eyes.
Caffeine headaches: Caffeine headaches can occur when an individual suddenly stops or reduces their caffeine intake, causing headaches and other withdrawal symptoms.
Treatment
Treatments for headaches will vary depending on the type. Some may need co-management with PCPs or neurologists, but many can also be helped with SMT, myofascial release, and rehabilitative exercise.
Sprain/Strain Injury
A sprain is an injury to a ligament, which is the tissue that connects bones to each other at a joint. A strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon,
Learn More
A sprain typically occurs when a joint is twisted or turned beyond its normal range of motion, causing the ligament to stretch or tear. Symptoms of a sprain can include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving the affected joint.
Strains occur when a muscle is stretched or torn, usually from overuse or excessive force. Symptoms of a strain can include pain, swelling, muscle spasms, and difficulty using the affected muscle.

Cervical Disc Injury
A cervical disc injury refers to damage to the discs in the neck, which can result from a traumatic injury, degenerative changes, or repetitive stress on the cervical spine.
Learn More
The cervical discs act as cushions between the vertebrae and provide shock absorption for the neck, so a damaged disc can lead to pain, numbness, and weakness in the neck, arms, and hands. In severe cases, a cervical disc injury can also cause nerve root impingement, leading to conditions such as cervical radiculopathy or cervical stenosis.
Cervical Disk Injury Treatment
Treatment options for cervical disc injuries vary depending on the severity and specific symptoms. Nonsurgical options may include SMT, myofascial release, flexion distraction, traction, rehabilitative exercise, pain management, and medications to reduce inflammation. In more severe cases, surgery may be necessary, such as a cervical discectomy or spinal fusion, to relieve pressure on the affected nerve roots or stabilize the affected vertebrae. We are happy to co-manage with your PCP or neurosurgeon if necessary.
BPPV
BPPV, or Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a common inner ear disorder that causes dizziness or vertigo. It occurs when small calcium carbonate crystals become dislodged.
Learn More
The small calcium carbonate crystals, called otoconia, become dislodged from their normal location in the inner ear and move into one of the fluid-filled canals. When this happens, the brain receives conflicting signals from the inner ear and visual system, leading to dizziness or vertigo. BPPV symptoms typically occur with certain head movements, such as turning over in bed or looking up, and can last from a few seconds to several minutes.
BPPV Treatment
Treatment for BPPV typically involves a maneuver called the Epley maneuver, which involves a series of specific head movements that help to reposition the otoconia back to their normal location. In some cases, BPPV may resolve on its own, but a healthcare professional can help determine the best course of treatment for your specific case. In addition to the Epley maneuver, other treatments may include vestibular rehabilitation, medications to manage symptoms, and lifestyle modifications to reduce the risk of falls and other complications. We are happy to work with your PCP if medication is needed.
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
TOS refers to a group of conditions in which the nerves, blood vessels, or both in the thoracic outlet (the space between the collarbone and first rib) are compressed.
Learn More
This compression can cause a range of symptoms, including pain in the neck, shoulder, arm, and hand, as well as numbness, tingling, and weakness in the affected limb. TOS can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, repetitive strain, congenital abnormalities, or poor posture Diagnosis of TOS can be challenging, as symptoms may be similar to those of other conditions, such as a pinched nerve or arthritis.
Treatment
Treatment options may include SMT, myofascial release, rehabilitative exercises, kinesio taping, and laser therapy.
