Living Proof: Spine + Sport Services
Evidence Based & Professional
Assessment & Diagnosis
Assessment & Diagnosis forms an integral part of our approach to treating the whole body, not just a complaint in isolation. This service is fundamental to ensuring our patients’ long-term health benefit.
Chiropractic Manipulative Therapy
Restricted joints cause compensations by other joints and muscles that can produce imbalances and pain. The Adjustment is a great tool to insure the joints of the body are moving correctly.
Flexion Distraction
Similar to the adjustment, Flexion distraction gently tractions the spinal segments. This is a great alternative to the adjustment to make sure the body is moving correctly.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a type of manual therapy.It can help relieve muscle pain and stiffness. As a result it increases range of motion and improves flexibility.
Manual Therapy
There are many forms of manual therapy that are all used for different purposes. Such as effleurage for relaxation and reducing swelling as well as cross friction massage for tendons and ligaments to increase blood flow and decrease scar tissue formation. You may know this as massage.
Therapeutic Exercise
Exercise and movement is essential to the health growth and recovery of the body. This modality is arguable the most important for long term benefit. Our team puts together special exercises specific to the individual.
Cupping
Cupping is a type of Manual therapy. It can be done static or dynamically. It can help promote local blood flow to speed soft tissue recovery. It is also used to help release fascial restrictions and increase proper function of the body.
Sport Recovery Session

Our Patients Say
We had a blast this past year working with Gerald!
A sprinter for Team USA and Powerlifter, you could only imagine the strain he places on his body to continue to compete at the ELITE level.
From treating injuries, sports recovery, to working on technique and mechanics; Gerald has improved his performance in both sports, setting PR's consistently without re-injury since therapy started.
Dr. Scott's favorite statement Gerald has mentioned many times when reporting on his training is, "Scott when I'm running... I feel POWERFUL!"
