Pathways of Care
Care is built around your goals — whether you are recovering from pain, returning to training, improving performance, or looking for clearer data about your long-term health, we will work collaboratively to create a detailed plan of management that works best for you.
-
Evidence-informed chiropractic care for back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint pain, and sports injuries. The goal is to reduce symptoms, identify what is driving the problem, and help you return to normal movement with a clear plan.
-
Rehabilitation for people who want to get back to lifting, running, sport, or everyday activity with confidence. Care combines manual therapy, exercise progression, movement assessment, and practical guidance so recovery does not stop at pain relief.
-
Objective testing for people who want better information about their fitness, metabolism, body composition, and long-term health. VOâ‚‚max, resting metabolic rate, InBody analysis, and movement-based assessments help turn health goals into measurable data.
-
Assessment and management for concussion symptoms, including headaches, dizziness, neck pain, exercise intolerance, and return-to-work or return-to-sport concerns. Care is structured, evidence-informed, and focused on helping you recover safely and progressively.
-
Chiropractic manual therapy uses hands-on techniques such as spinal manipulation, joint mobilization, soft tissue therapy, and targeted movement strategies to help improve pain, mobility, and function. Treatment is tailored to your assessment findings and integrated with exercise and rehabilitation so care supports both short-term relief and long-term progress.
Performance Testing
Stop guessing about your fitness
Wearables and generic formulas can be useful starting points. Direct testing gives you a clearer picture of how your body actually performs.
Performance testing can help you better understand your cardiovascular fitness, metabolism, body composition, and training needs. Whether your goal is improving performance, supporting long-term health, or making more informed decisions about your exercise routine, objective data can help you focus on what matters most.
-
Measure your aerobic fitness, identify your training zones, and better understand how your body responds to exercise.
-
Track muscle mass, body-fat percentage, and other meaningful markers of health and performance.
-
Measure your baseline energy needs using direct testing rather than generic calorie formulas.
-
Assess your running mechanics and identify opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce strain, and support performance.
-
Combine multiple tests into a more complete assessment of your fitness, physiology, and training needs.

More Than Symptom Relief
Pain is often the reason people book an appointment. It should not be the only thing we address.
My approach combines chiropractic care, exercise rehabilitation, and a background in exercise physiology to help you understand what is limiting you, what needs to improve, and how to move forward with a clear plan.
The goal is not to keep you dependent on treatment. It is to help you reduce pain, rebuild confidence in movement, and make better decisions about your training, recovery, and long-term health.
What You Can Expect
A Clear Assessment
We start by understanding your symptoms, movement, goals, and the demands of your daily life or sport. Treatment is guided by what is most relevant to you, not by a one-size-fits-all protocol.A Practical Plan
You will leave with a clear explanation of what may be contributing to the problem, what we are working on, and what you can do between appointments to keep progressing.Care That Evolves With You
As your symptoms, training load, or goals change, your plan should change with them. Care may include manual therapy, rehabilitation, movement retraining, and objective testing when it is useful.
