Services
I offer in-depth evaluation and differential diagnosis of all musculo-skeletal dysfunction resulting from trauma, over use, surgery, and daily wear and tear on the body. This includes strains/sprains, fractures, arthritis, balance problems, weakness, myofascial pain syndromes, headaches, neck, and back injuries.

I practice hands on manipulation of soft tissue, joints and the energetic levels of the body using a variety of techniques that I have learned over the years (see resume). I also offer McConnell taping and Kinesio taping for pain and dysfunction of the muscles and joints.

NEW: Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is now offered in this office.
Low Level Laser Therapy, LLLT, is the use of photons of light energy to stimulate the bodies natural repair processes at the cellular level.  LLLT has been used through out Asia and Europe for more than 30 years and now has FDA approval for use in the U.S. It is used to treat strains, sprains, fractures, recovery from surgery, neck and back pain, whiplash injuries, arthritis, pain from joints, soft tissues or nerves etc. Its benefits include
• increased circulation,
• faster healing,
• reduction or elimination of acute and chronic pain,
• reduction of swelling/inflammation,
• formation of new capillaries,
• improved strength and quality of scar tissue, and
• increased mobility and function.
