Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a non-invasive, hands-on health care discipline that focuses on the neuromusculoskeletal (i.e. nervous, muscular, and skeletal) system. Chiropractors use a manual approach to provide a diagnosis, treatment, and preventive care for issues relating to the spine, pelvis, extremities, nervous system, muscles, and joints.
Chiropractors use a combination of treatments, all of which are based on the specific needs of the individual patient. After taking a complete history and diagnosing a patient, a chiropractor can develop and carry out a comprehensive treatment plan, which may include chiropractic manipulations of joints, soft tissue therapy, rehabilitation, and lifestyle/nutritional advice.
Chiropractic can help individuals with the following:
-
Neck/Mid-Back/Low Back Pain
-
Extremity Pain
-
Headaches
-
Sports Injuries
-
Tingling or Numbness
-
Sciatica
-

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an alternative medicine that treats patients by insertion and manipulation of needles in the body. It is used to encourage natural healing, reduce/relieve pain, improve mood, and to promote general health.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, acupuncture is based on the flow and balance of Qi, Blood, and the Yin-Yang systems. Qi is the energy life force of the body, whereas Blood is the liquid life force of the body. When both are flowing properly, they nourish the body and promote health. When these different Yin-Yang systems are in harmony, the body is healthy, but when there is disharmony, illness arises. Acupuncture is a procedure that aims to correct imbalances in the flow of Qi and Blood and Yin and Yang by stimulation of specific acupuncture points.
Acupuncture can help individuals with the following:
-
Neck/Mid-Back/Low Back Pain

Dry Needing
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used to treat muscle pain, particularly myofascial pain. It involves the insertion of thin, solid needles (similar to acupuncture needles) into specific points in the muscle, known as trigger points. These trigger points are tight, hyperirritable spots in muscles that can cause pain, stiffness, and discomfort.
​
The goal of dry needling is to release tension in these trigger points and help the muscle relax, reducing pain and improving movement. Though it shares similarities with acupuncture, dry needling is based on Western medicine principles, focusing on the musculoskeletal system rather than energy flow (as in traditional Chinese medicine).
​
Dry Needling can help individuals with the following:
-
Muscle tightness
-
Chronic pain
-
Headaches or migraines
-
Back pain
-
Neck pain

There is no specific dry needling appointment. We book our dry needling appointments under our Acupuncture Treatments. Dr. Shelby incorporated "dry needling" protocols into her acupuncture treatments when treating pain-related conditions. She combines dry needling and traditional acupuncture in her sessions to give a full-body approach.
