A healthcare discipline focused on diagnosing and treating disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially those related to the spine. It is most commonly associated with spinal manipulation or adjustments, which are manual techniques chiropractors use to improve spinal alignment, reduce pain, and enhance the body’s physical function.
Key Components of Chiropractic Care:
Spinal Adjustments: Chiropractors apply controlled force to joints, particularly in the spine, to improve range of motion and relieve nerve pressure.
Musculoskeletal Focus: Although the spine is central, we may also treat issues in other joints (e.g., shoulders, hips, knees).
Holistic Approach: We include advice on exercise, ergonomics, posture, and nutrition as part of overall care.
Non-Surgical and Drug-Free: Chiropractic care emphasizes natural healing without the use of drugs or invasive procedures.

Myofascial release technique is a hands-on therapy that focuses on relieving tightness and tension in the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs. This technique involves applying gentle, sustained pressure to specific areas of the body to stretch and loosen the fascia. The goal is to improve blood flow, reduce pain, and restore movement by releasing restrictions within the fascial system. It is often incorporated into chiropractic care to enhance overall musculoskeletal health.
-
It's a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic pressure waves (shockwaves) to stimulate healing in soft tissues, reduce pain, and improve mobility — especially for chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
Conditions Commonly Treated with EPAT:
Plantar fasciitis
Achilles tendinopathy
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
Shoulder tendinitis
Shin splints
Hip bursitis
Trigger points
Chronic muscular or tendon pain

Also known as physical therapy is focused on helping people restore, maintain, and improve their physical function, mobility, and overall well-being. It involves the use of physical techniques such as exercise, manual therapy, education, and modalities like heat, cold, electrical stimulation, or therapeutic ultrasound to treat a wide range of conditions.

This is a specialized chiropractic method used to assess and gently adjust the pelvis, particularly in pregnant women. Its main goal is to restore proper pelvic balance and alignment, which may help reduce tension in the uterus and supporting ligaments. This can create a more optimal environment for the baby and may assist in easing pregnancy discomfort and supporting safer, smoother labor. The technique is gentle, non-invasive, and widely used by chiropractors certified in prenatal care. Dr. Benji is Webster Certified!

Cupping is a therapy technique that involves placing specially designed cups on the skin to create suction. This suction helps increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing. The cups are typically made of glass, silicone, or plastic and can be left in place or moved across the skin. Cupping is often used to alleviate pain, improve circulation, and enhance relaxation.
-
IASTM is a manual therapy technique that uses specialized tools to gently scrape the skin and underlying soft tissues. This method helps break down scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility by stimulating the body's natural healing response. It is commonly used to treat muscle strains, tendonitis, and other soft tissue injuries.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your initial appointment begins with a comprehensive consultation where we review your health history and discuss your main area of concern.
We then perform a thorough physical examination, which may include:
Range of motion testing
Orthopedic examinations
Muscle and joint palpation
After the assessment, we will clearly explain our findings and outline your personalized treatment plan for the day.

At PR Chiropractic, we prioritize targeted muscle work to help you achieve the best results.
Your treatment may include:
Manual Therapy (MRT)
We begin with focused muscle work on the area of complaint to reduce tension and improve mobility.
Flexion-Distraction Table (as needed)
For low-back conditions, we may incorporate a flexion-distraction table to gently decompress the spine.
Additional Therapeutic Modalities
Depending on your condition, your session may include:
Shockwave therapy
Cupping
IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization)
Chiropractic Adjustments
Once the muscles are properly prepared, we perform precise chiropractic adjustments to the spine and, when appropriate, the extremities.
Post-Treatment Therapy
After your hands-on session with the Chiropractor, you’ll be guided to our therapy room for additional recovery support. This may include:
Electrical stimulation to calm irritated muscles
