Both acute onset and chronic lower back pain have unique problems associated with them. Pain is the number one complaint. Range of motion loss is a close second. By utilizing laser therapy, dry-needling and spinal decompression with manipulation, we can “make room” for the nerves that are being affected thereby reducing pain and increasing function.

Neck pain is a chronic problem most patients will have in their lives. We utilize dry-needling and traction to reduce muscle spasm and get vertebrae moving again. Lifestyle changes are massively important and with Dr. Smith’s experience, he knows the triggers for neck pain.

Knee Degeneration is one of the most common ailments in the senior population. Our unique approach utilizing dry needling and cold laser extends the time a patient may be considering surgical intervention. We like to call it ‘injection replacement therapy.’ Some patients say the therapy is better than the injectables otherwise provided.

Lateral epicondylitis or ‘Tennis Elbow’ is an incredibly painful condition of the outside of the elbow that responds well to Ultrasound and myofascial scraping (a technique utilizing a dull scraper to break up scar tissue.

Plantar Fasciitis and other foot problems. Incredible results are being shown with a combination of laser therapy and myofascial scraping and manipulation to avoid painful foot injections. Surgery for this condition is now greatly reduced as necessary when a conservative approach such as our fasciitis system is applied.

Generalized muscle soreness and pain? Touch-less Massage is gaining in popularity because of the stigma applied from massage providers due to physical contact concerns. Our Nomano Massage System provides an incredible massage with no undressing or manual massage or uneasiness with a masseuse.

Balance and gait disorders. Our program works on the premise that balance and gait go hand in hand with knee and lower back pain. We will teach our patients how to, by using inexpensive tools they can purchase online, manage and even improve their likelihood from falls that so many seniors fear. No expensive physical therapy, just common sense aids to improve your balance and gait and prevent falls.

Lumbar Stenosis and Peripheral Neuropathy. Two very hand-in-hand conditions that cause substantial problems that lead into balance and gait disorders resulting in an increased likelihood of falling. We address the entire problem by diagnosing the cause, and the severity and then working with our neurosurgeons and our own clinic to alleviate symptoms caused by generalized disc degeneration.
