At Horn Family Chiropractic we develop a specialized care plan for you, incorporating several different treatment modalities, to provide you with the most advanced care available to get you better, faster.

• SPECIFIC CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS The goal of adjusting extremities is to restore the original and proper alignment of the joint, allow normal function, alleviate stress on the nerves and eliminate pain.
• SPECIALIZED MYOFASCIAL TECHNIQUES to address tension and restriction in the muscles of the extremity.
• LASER THERAPY is used to reduce the pain and inflammation in the injured extremity by increasing blood and nutrient flow to the area to promote recovery and decrease pain
• EXTREMITY DISTRACTION is designed to lightly pull on your hip, knee and ankle to create space within the joint to reduce pressure and tension and increase range of motion.
• NUTRITION recommendations based on your specific needs to strengthen and support your body’s ability to heal itself.
• STRENGTH & FLEXIBILITY RESTORATION to improve the mobility and stability of the injured or degenerative joint. This serves to prevent re-injury and or slow the degenerative process. Strong flexible joints are more resistant to injury.
