At Brightman Chiropractic, we are dedicated to the treatment and recovery of our patients.  We advocate a non surgical, non invasive approach to treating musculoskeletal pain. With a patient base that ranges from athletes, professionals, and general population of all ages, we provide a strong "hands on" approach to healing with a focus on educating the patient for the greatest success possible.

PAIN MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL

There are three procedures used during 6 week pain management protocol: They are as follows:
  1. EmFieldPro (High Energy Inductive Therapy)
  2. Thermostim Probe
  3. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy
Patients may benefit from chiropractic care including spine and extremity  manipulation for joint stiffness and mobility, soft tissue release for restricted muscles and trigger points, and corrective exercise to help strengthen and stabilize the “weak link”. 
Procedures and modalities that are utilized to manage the above  injuries.
