• Chiropractic Adjustments
  More and more chiropractors are beginning to include rehabilitation in their clinics. Studies show that incorporating a rehab program into a treatment plan gets better results than chiropractic adjustments alone. Your rehab program, should you require one, will be specifically tailored to your age, weight, body type, posture, diagnoses, and functional capacity. Dr. Groves will work with you personally to make sure your body responds as best as it can. Many times, rehabilitation exercises can be done at home on your own time!

  Over time, scar tissue tends to develop within the soft tissue that is around stuck and misaligned vertebra. Intersegmental traction is a gentle way of helping restore flexibility and strength to these damaged tissues.

These machines increase lymph drainage, relax tight muscles, increase range of motion, and reduce the risk of reinjury to your spine. They can also be used while applying ice or heat to any number or areas.
