Services
Here at Apex, we offer a variety of treatment approaches that work in conjunction with one another to provide you with improved range of motion, strength, and coordination, which ultimately translates into reduced pain and improved movement.
Chiropractic Adjustments
The ability of a joint and its surrounding structures to move properly can play a role in creating pain or dysfunction. A chiropractic adjustment is essentially a quick thrust that is applied to a joint in order to restore normal range of motion.
Soft Tissue Manipulation
Muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia are often affected by injury, and are frequently the source of pain or dysfunction. Soft tissue manipulation is used to reduce muscle tension, improve range of motion, and decrease pain in these areas.
Rehabilitative Exercise
In many cases, injury to muscles, tendons, or joints can not be remedied with soft tissue manipulation or chiropractic alone. Rehabilitative exercise is a fantastic way to help strengthen, stretch, or remodel certain injured tissues.
Corrective Exercise
Our bodies are designed to avoid experiencing pain. This protective mechanism can often affect how we move, even after pain has subsided. Corrective exercise is used to help re-establish proper movement and reduce incidence of future injury.
Kinesiotaping
From reducing swelling and discomfort to improving movement patterns, kinesiotape can be incorporated to accomplish a variety of positive changes.
