Chiropractic Rehabilitation and Exercise Therapy

At Helping Hands Chiropractic Center, the partnership between chiropractors, exercise physiologists and massage therapists forms the core of our treatment philosophy. The goal of integrating chiropractic treatments with rehabilitation is to improve the effectiveness of chiropractic adjustments by achieving a positive effect on the entire musculoskeletal system. The essence of chiropractic rehabilitation is a thorough evaluation by our
chiropractors on your initial visit. At this time, your chiropractor will consult with you about your treatment options and establish a treatment program for you.

Many of our patients have occupational and lifestyle restrictions that interfere with their natural movement patterns and prevent their bodies from operating as well as they might. Exercise is an organized form of movement that takes many forms, both recreationally
and therapeutically. We evaluate each of our patients thoroughly to design an effective program to treat their particular condition and situation. Our patients get personal training and coaching to maximize the results of their programs. We treat a diversity of patients
with a variety or conditions, from adolescents to older adults, from occupational injuries to chronic pain, from weekend warriors to elite level athletes.
