Our proprietary 3 Phase Approach Provides Personalized and Guided Chiropractic Care

1

Acute Phase

Getting You Out Of Pain
2

Mobility Phase

Movement Without Pain
3

Stability Phase

Keeping You Out Of Pain

1 Acute Phase

This phase is all about getting you out of pain. Trying to train or compete when you are in pain can not only lead to further injury, but it can have a negative impact on the way you move. If you have to change the way you function to perform, you will without a doubt, perform at a lower level. So, the first step is getting you out of pain so that you can move the correct way.

2 Mobility Phase

During the mobility phase you work 1-on-1 with Dr. Rush in the office as well as on your own. Dr. Rush will perform the necessary treatment within the office to help restore the essential mobility that you need to perform. Dr. Rush will also spend time teaching you proper mobility techniques to maintain your new found mobility and you’ll be given a mobility plan to perform on your own.

3 Stability Phase

Through the stability phase you will be taught proper stabilization techniques that are specific for you. Having stability is the only way to truly protect your spine and joints throughout all of their ranges of motion. You will be trained in the office and given a stability plan to perform on your own. This is a team approach, you are part of the team.

There are 3 scenarios 3 Scenarios that lead to pain, injury and/or dysfunction.

Understanding these situations helps us see why the 3 Phase Approach is effective.

Chiropractic Adjustment

Relieve pain and restore joint function with expert chiropractic adjustments tailored to your needs.
  • Back pain
  • Neck pain
  • Shoulder pain
  • Spinal misalignment
  • Sciatica
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Herniated or bulging discs
Learn More

Chiropractic Adjustments are the foundation of chiropractic care, focusing on realigning the spine and restoring proper joint function. This technique helps alleviate pressure on spinal nerves and discs, reducing pain and inflammation. Beyond just treating symptoms, adjustments also promote better blood flow and support your body’s natural ability to heal, helping you move better and feel stronger.

A common question is: Will the adjustment hurt? The answer is no. While you might hear a “popping” sound — that’s simply gas being released from the joint — most patients feel a sense of relief and improved mobility immediately after. Our approach is always gentle yet effective, tailored to your comfort level.

Chiropractic Adjustments are ideal for anyone suffering from back or neck pain, headaches, or sciatica. They’re also useful for improving posture, increasing range of motion, and addressing the root cause of pain rather than just masking it.

Electric Muscle Stimulation

Boost healing and reduce pain with targeted Electric Muscle Stimulation therapy.
  • Muscle spasms
  • Muscle tension
  • Sports injuries
  • Chronic pain
  • Limited range of motion
Learn More

Electric Muscle Stimulation is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that uses low-frequency electrical pulses to stimulate blood flow in tight or painful muscles. By sending small currents through the muscles, this therapy reduces spasms, eases tension, and restores mobility. It’s an effective way to jumpstart the healing process by increasing circulation and helping your body recover faster.

Patients often ask: What does it feel like? It’s a mild tingling sensation — never painful — and most people find it quite relaxing. The treatment works by “waking up” the muscles and breaking the pain cycle, which helps them heal and function better.

This therapy is perfect for those dealing with muscle tightness, chronic pain, or sports injuries. It’s a quick and effective way to support your body’s natural recovery process.

Dry Needling

Relieve muscle tension and pain with Dry Needling, a targeted treatment for trigger points and mobility.
  • Muscle tension and tightness
  • Trigger points
  • Chronic pain
  • Sports injuries
  • Reduced range of motion
Learn More

Dry Needling is an effective, evidence-based treatment designed to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and restore mobility. Using thin, sterile needles, we target trigger points—tight knots in the muscle that cause pain and restrict movement. Unlike acupuncture, which focuses on energy flow, dry needling works directly on the muscles and soft tissues to release tension and promote healing.

Many patients ask: Does it hurt? The needles used are incredibly thin, and most people feel only a slight pinch or muscle twitch — not the deep ache you might expect. In fact, the relief afterward is often immediate. The muscle releases its tension, allowing for better movement and less pain.

This treatment is especially effective for chronic pain sufferers, athletes recovering from sports injuries, or anyone struggling with muscle tightness that just won’t go away. Dry needling helps jumpstart the body’s natural healing process by improving blood flow and breaking the cycle of pain and muscle spasms.

Cupping Therapy

Relieve tension and promote healing with modernized cupping therapy techniques.
  • Muscle tension
  • Inflammation
  • Sports injuries
  • Chronic pain
  • Reduced blood flow
Learn More

Cupping Therapy is an ancient healing practice that we’ve modernized to target muscle tension, boost circulation, and support recovery. During a session, special cups are placed on your skin to create gentle suction. This suction draws blood flow to the targeted areas, helping to reduce inflammation, ease muscle tightness, and accelerate healing.

A common concern is: Will cupping leave marks or hurt? While the therapy may leave temporary, painless circular marks — caused by increased blood flow, not bruising — the process itself is not painful. Most patients describe a pulling sensation followed by a feeling of relief, like a reverse deep tissue massage. The marks typically fade within a few days.

Cupping is great for athletes recovering from intense training, people with chronic muscle pain, or anyone looking for an alternative way to release muscle tension. It’s a relaxing, effective treatment that supports both your body’s recovery and overall wellness.

Myofascial Release Technique (MRT)

Accelerate soft tissue recovery with Myofascial Release, a hands-on approach to healing and flexibility.
  • Muscle tension and spasms
  • Tendinitis
  • Bursitis
  • Sports injuries
  • Overuse or misuse injuries
Learn More

Myofascial Release Technique (MRT) is a hands-on therapy designed to break down muscular adhesions and scar tissue, speeding up soft tissue recovery. This technique improves flexibility, reduces pain, and restores movement by increasing blood flow to affected areas. It’s especially effective for tendinitis, bursitis, and injuries caused by repetitive strain — whether from sports, work, or daily life.

People sometimes ask: Will it be painful? While MRT can feel intense at times — like a deep tissue massage — it’s never unbearable. Most patients describe it as a “good hurt,” a sensation that lets you know those tight muscles are finally letting go.

If you’ve been struggling with muscle tension that won’t quit or nagging sports injuries, MRT can provide the relief you need, helping you move more freely and comfortably.

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)

Speed up soft tissue recovery with precision instrument-assisted therapy.
  • Muscle tension
  • Scar tissue buildup
  • Tendinitis
  • Sports injuries
  • Limited range of motion
Learn More

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a targeted therapy using specialized tools to break down scar tissue and muscle adhesions. This process increases blood flow, reduces stiffness, and improves flexibility — helping your muscles move freely and without pain. It’s particularly useful for treating chronic and acute injuries, like tendinitis or restricted range of motion.

People sometimes ask: Does IASTM hurt? While it can feel intense — similar to a deep tissue massage — it’s not painful. Most patients feel a combination of pressure and relief as their muscles release tension and scar tissue is gently broken down.

IASTM is a great choice for athletes, those recovering from surgery, or anyone with lingering muscle tightness. It’s a proactive way to promote healing and restore full mobility.

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) Stretching

Improve flexibility and strength with expert-guided PNF stretching techniques.
  • Muscle tension
  • Limited range of motion
  • Sports performance
  • Flexibility improvement
Learn More

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) Stretching is a highly effective technique used to improve flexibility and strengthen muscles. This method combines passive stretching and isometric contractions — meaning you’ll stretch a muscle, contract it against resistance, and then stretch it again, pushing a bit further each time. It’s a powerful way to increase your range of motion and target muscle imbalances.

Patients often ask: Is PNF stretching uncomfortable? While the stretches are deep and active, they should never be painful. You may feel a strong stretch sensation, but we always work within your comfort zone to avoid any strain. Most people notice immediate improvements in flexibility after just one session.

PNF stretching is perfect for athletes looking to enhance their performance, individuals recovering from injuries, or anyone who wants to move better and prevent future muscle tightness. It’s a dynamic, hands-on approach that helps you achieve better flexibility and strength simultaneously.

Intersegmental Spinal Traction (IST)

Relax and restore spinal mobility with gentle Intersegmental Spinal Traction therapy.
  • Back pain
  • Spinal misalignment
  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Sciatica
  • Limited mobility
Learn More

Intersegmental Spinal Traction (IST) is a relaxing therapy designed to gently stretch and mobilize the spine. Using a specialized table, this treatment improves blood flow, relieves pressure on spinal discs, and helps restore proper spinal alignment. Think of it as a massage for your spine — easing tension and promoting flexibility.

A common question is: Is it uncomfortable? Not at all. The gentle rolling motion feels like a soothing back massage, and most patients find the session deeply relaxing. The goal is to create space between the vertebrae, helping your spine move more freely and comfortably.

IST is ideal for anyone with back pain, sciatica, or spinal misalignment. It’s a simple yet effective way to improve mobility and support long-term spinal health.
