One of the most common questions people have before coming in is simple:

“What do you actually do during a visit?”

The answer isn’t just one thing — it’s a combination of approaches, all working together to help your body move and heal the way it’s supposed to.

Here’s a quick look at what that can involve.

Breaking Up Tension and Scar Tissue

We often start with shockwave therapy, a form of percussion therapy.

This helps:

• break up tight muscle knots
• reduce scar tissue
• improve movement in areas that feel “stuck”

For many people, this is the first step in getting things to loosen up.

Restoring Movement Through Adjustments

From there, we move into targeted adjustments.

This can include:

• midback adjustments
• low back adjustments on each side

These help restore proper motion in the spine, which plays a major role in how your body feels and functions.

Addressing Areas Most People Don’t Realize We Can Help

One area that often surprises people is the jaw.

We use a gentle tool called an activator — a spring-loaded instrument — to make precise, controlled adjustments.

It’s very light, very targeted, and effective for:

• jaw tension
• clicking or discomfort
• related headaches

Supporting Healing with Red Light Therapy

We also use red light therapy to support recovery.

This can be applied to:

• the brain (to support neurological function)
• the jaw or other affected areas

The goal here is to:

• reduce inflammation
• support healing
• help your body recover more efficiently

It’s Not One Thing — It’s the Combination

What makes this approach effective isn’t just one treatment.

It’s how these pieces work together:

• releasing tension
• restoring movement
• supporting healing

All based on what your body actually needs.

What Happens Next

Every visit starts with understanding what’s going on — not guessing.

From there, we walk you through:

• what we’re seeing
• what can be done
• and what your next step could look like
