The most common procedure performed by a chiropractor is known as “spinal or joint manipulation” also called a “chiropractic adjustment”. The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become hypomobile, or restricted in their movement, as a result of tissue injury. Tissue injury can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as the improper lifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses, such as running with improper biomechanics. In either case, injured tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain, and diminished function for the sufferer. Manipulation of the affected joints maximize range of motion, improves overall function of the area, and decreases pain.
Dr. Gregg uses a variety of techniques: Diversified, , Blocking/SOT, Flexion Distraction and low-force adjustments.
The latest techniques in soft tissue mobilization. Myofascial Release as well as Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation are both utilized to treat soft tissue injuries. Soft tissue is everything other than bone. When dealing with musculoskeletal injuries, we are referring to muscle, tendon, ligaments, connective tissue known as fascia, and bursa.
Laser Therapy uses red and infrared light for the relief of pain, to accelerate healing and decrease inflammation. When the light source is placed against the skin, the photons penetrate several centimeters and get absorbed by the mitochondria, the energy producing part of a cell. This energy fuels many positive physiological responses resulting in the restoration of normal cell morphology and function. Both acute and chronic injuries respond well to laser therapy treatment. Inflammation and swelling are quickly reduced to allow a greater range of motion in the affected area. Injured tissues are restored to optimal strength and vitality, providing greater functionality and preventing re-injury.
Whether you are a casual exerciser or committed athlete you can improve your performance with a simple evaluation and regular treatment. We help athletes accomplish their sports performance goals, maximize their potential, and reduce their risk of injury with evidence-based chiropractic, soft tissue mobilization, strength and mobility exercises, supplemental, and patient education and self treatment strategies to eliminate symptoms, restore full function, and enhance performance.
After going over your goals, possible problems, and current exercise and training level, we will provide instruction in pain and injury reduction strategies, as well as recommendations on how to make the most of your training and performance.
We provide a thorough musculoskeletal functional evaluation which includes strength, flexibility, range of motion and other physical conditioning areas. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is essential to determine your condition and to identify areas of strength and weakness, including flexibility, strength, range of motion, and stability. Afterwards you will be provided recommendations based on your needs. Keeping muscles and joints flexible and restriction free while also picking up on areas before injuries happen is an invaluable service to keep you active.

A commonly used method to relieve pain and soft-tissue dysfunction is to manually compress and deactivate myofascial trigger points and adhesions. This technique is valuable in many cases. Trigger points, similar to adhesions, are local areas of muscle and fascia tightness and hypertonicity (increased muscle tone) that reduce range of motion, cause pain locally, and can refer pain and paresthesia (altered sensation) to other areas of the body. Dr. Gregg is trained at locating and releasing trigger points and adhesions. Often, chronic pain syndromes and many sports injuries can be solved through trigger point therapy and a home stretching and strengthening program, in conjunction with posture and ergonomic advice.
