Chiropractic & Sports Medicine

We believe that competing, training, and learning new skills as an athlete has helped us grow tremendously in the mental, emotional, and spiritual areas of our lives. This is why we are deeply passionate about helping our patients experience the same personal growth through lives defined by movement, exploration, and success.

Chiropractic care consists of manual manipulation of joints, mainly the spine, in order to realign the spinal column, which has a direct influence on nerves, muscles, and organs.

Our Approach

Spinal & Extremity Adjustments
Joint alignment is important for movement, it is a big focus for those who are looking to be active for a long time. Adjustments are a important part of our care towards improved human movement.

Myofascial Decompression
Myofascial Cupping has been around since the early 19th century – only recently has the image of purple circles on professional athlete’s backs created attention to an ancient myofascial therapy. The cups and techniques have changed over time, but the basic premise of the cups providing suction to decompress the underlying tissue remains the same. - Rocktape.com

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
Mobilizing fascia and soft tissue adhesions is important for healing and overall mobility. Specialized tools are used to break up fascia and adhesions. This technique compliments our approach to healing.

Kinesiology Taping
Kinesiology Taping has been around for decades but we are recently seeing it in the sports and fitness world. We use this stretchable, movable tape to assist movement and improve overall function.
As a Rocktape Certified doctor, Dr. Lopez is confident in his application of kinesiology tape for performance and function. Ask about it in your appointment.

Compression​
Lymphatic movement is very important for detoxing your entire body. Think of the lymphatic system as the garbage shoot, escorting all the waste through the body and to the exits! The more efficiently this is accomplished the better your overall healing & bodily function.

Physiotherapy Modalities: we also utilize common physiotherapy modalities such as electric muscle stimulation, hot & cold therapy.
