Joint, Muscle, and Foot Pain

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar Fasciitis is simply inflammation of the tissue in your foot. It's a common misconception that plantar fasciitis only affects the heel of the foot, however, it can affect any part of the bottom of your foot, since it's the tissue between the toes and your heel that gets inflamed.

Joint Pain

Joint pain refers to discomfort or inflammation that arises from any part of a joint, including the bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, or surrounding tissues, and can be caused by injury, arthritis, overuse, or other underlying medical conditions. We offer a range of treatment options for joint pain that can be used individually or in combination for a holistic and personalized approach to a patient’s specific needs.

Muscle Pain

Muscle pain, also known as myalgia, can be caused by muscle overuse or strain, muscle tension and spasms, injuries, or medical conditions and autoimmune diseases. We offer a variety of therapies that can be used individually or in combination, tailored to an individual's needs, to effectively treat muscle pain by addressing both the symptoms and underlying causes.

Neuropathy Treatment

Neuropathy is a condition characterized by nerve damage that leads to pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected area. It can be caused by diabetes, autoimmune disorders, infections, certain medications, and vitamin deficiencies. Alone or jointly, treatments that improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, align the spinal, and stimulate specific acupressure points can alleviate pressure on affected nerves, provide pain relief, manage symptoms, and improve nerve function.

Arthritis Pain

Arthritis refers to a group of conditions characterized by inflammation and stiffness in the joints. Common types of arthritis include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis. The causes of arthritis can vary, including genetics, age, joint injury, autoimmune factors, and lifestyle factors. Relieving muscle tension, increasing joint flexibility, joint manipulation, spinal adjustments, and acupuncture can improve joint function, reduce pain and inflammation, promote blood circulation, and stimulate the body's natural healing response.
