WHAT WE DO

Feel better, longer.

At The Body Lab, our doctors provide hands-on therapies and corrective exercises to keep you feeling better, longer. Our techniques are backed by science and are proven to be some of the safest, most effective ways to decrease pain and tension.

Trigger Point Dry Needling
Myofascial trigger points (commonly referred to as muscle “knots”) are one of the most overlooked causes of acute and chronic pain. At the same time, trigger points constitute one of the most common musculoskeletal pain conditions. Using a thin needle and precise technique, our clinicians can target these trigger points to help reduce tension and pain in the muscle, decrease sensitivity, and help restore normal function of the kinetic chain. Stimulating the area in this way also provides neurological input to the brain and provides a window of opportunity to re-educate the kinetic chain through proper rehabilitative exercises to create lasting changes.
Cupping Therapy

Cupping can be viewed as the opposite of a massage. Instead of applying pressure down upon the body’s muscles, the suction from the negative pressure created in the cups lifts the skin, tissue, and muscles upward. The purpose of the suction is to encourage proper blood flow, relieve pain, remove stagnation, and pull out toxins that can linger in the body’s tissues.

Joint Manipulation

Chiropractic adjustments / joint manipulation involves restoring proper motion to a specific joint (either in the spine or in an extremity) by addressing segments that are restricted. Oftentimes, pain and discomfort may be stemming from these fixations. Through a quick and gentle force delivered by hand, a chiropractic adjustment can restore proper motion to the joint as well as increase neurological input to the brain. Used in conjunction with soft tissue therapies and exercises, adjustments are one of the most effective procedures for musculoskeletal pain relief.

Rehabilitation / Physical Therapy
Our priority in rehab is restoring function. There is no point in strengthening a muscle in isolation if you don’t know how to then integrate it into your daily or sport-specific activities. Our goal is to give you many tools, then help you put them all together to ensure that you can return to whatever activity it is that you love, prevent future injuries, and perform even better than you were before. That’s why each treatment plan is tailored to you specifically and why your goals will always be the driving factor behind any treatment measures.
Graston / FAKTR
Graston / FAKTR (also commonly referred to as muscle “scraping”) is a form of manual therapy known as instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM). This technique involves the utilization of specially designed instruments to detect and treat areas of soft-tissue fibrosis, adhesions, and / or chronic inflammation by increasing blood flow, reducing facial restrictions, and helping to restore proper movement.
Taping
In our clinic, we utilize kinesiology taping as a supplemental tool to help optimize movement patterns, manage / reduce swelling, improve circulation, alleviate muscle tension, and provide support to painful muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. Once applied to the skin, the tension in the tape provides a type of sensory feedback to the brain which can decrease pain / sensitivity and influence movement patterns.
Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS)
DNS is a rehabilitative approach aimed at activating the “integrated stabilizing system” of the human body by using principles of developmental kinesiology. This functional stabilization is required for safe and purposeful movements and, without it, we often see locomotor system disturbances and pain. During assessment and diagnosis, each patient’s stabilizing pattern is compared to the developmental pattern of a healthy baby. Then, specific exercises and primal developmental positions are utilized to teach the brain to restore and maintain these ideal patterns. As a result, we see more efficient movement, greater mobility and stability, and less pain.
Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFR)
BFR, also sometimes known as occlusion training, is both a rehab and training technique that involves the use of cuffs or wraps placed around a limb during exercise or a specific treatment protocol. The aim of this is to safely and strategically restrict venous blood flow from a working muscle while still allowing arterial blood flow. BFR is becoming an increasingly popular tool to improve muscle strength, size, and functional aerobic capacity in shorter amount of time with less stress on the body. This makes it an incredibly effective tool whether rehabilitating an injury, improving fitness / performance, or aiding in recovery.
