ADJUSTMENTS
Dr. Cole uses a hands-on adjusting technique called, ‘Diversified’ as well as more gentle technique that uses tables with drop pieces. Activator technique, commonly known as the 'chiropractic clicker' is also used for small joints or for those who are more sensitive to a more hands-on approach.
SOFT TISSUE THERAPIES
Myofascial release therapy (MRT)
MRT is a soft tissue therapy that uses motion to help relax tight muscles and get rid of muscle "knots" and trigger points
​
Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM)
IASTM uses a smooth metal tool to help get to deeper muscles and to increase the blood flow and movement of the connective tissues that are in around the muscles and skin
​
Vibration therapy
Local vibration massage can be used on tight muscles and irritated nerves all across the body to relax muscles and reduce pain
MEDICAL ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a way to stimulate nerves and muscles directly with sterile, single-use needles. Different techniques can be used with acupuncture needles including dry needling and electro-acupuncture.
EXERCISE/INJURY REHAB
Exercises are one of the best ways to gain strength as well as increase muscular balance, endurance, and stability. They can be as simple as activities like unloading the dishwasher or as detailed as a personal exercise routine
​
Dr. Cole loves the phrase, "motion is lotion" and always promotes movements to reduce pain and improve everyday function
ATHLETIC TAPING
Whether for a sport or a non-athletic injury, tape can be useful for helping the body feel supported through ranges of motion and prevent painful movement or re-injury.
