Therapeutic Treatments in St. Petersburg, FL

Designed to Support Long-Term Healing

We offer a full range of chiropractic and advanced therapeutic services to treat pain, improve mobility, and help your body heal efficiently. From precise chiropractic adjustments to cutting-edge soft tissue and recovery therapies, each treatment is tailored to your condition, goals, and lifestyle.

Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractic adjustments are precise, controlled movements applied to the joints of the spine or extremities to improve motion, alignment, and overall nervous system function. By restoring proper joint mechanics, adjustments help reduce irritation to surrounding nerves, decrease pain and inflammation, and improve the body’s ability to move and heal efficiently. These adjustments are tailored to each patient and may be performed using hands-on techniques or specialized instruments, depending on comfort and clinical need.

Chiropractic adjustments are commonly used to treat neck and back pain, headaches, joint stiffness, sciatica, shoulder and hip pain, sports injuries, and posture-related discomfort. Regular adjustments can also help improve mobility, balance, and functional movement, making them beneficial for both acute injuries and long-term musculoskeletal health.

Active Release Technique® (ART)

Active Release Technique® (ART) is a hands-on soft tissue treatment that targets muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve function. It works by identifying areas of scar tissue, adhesions, or tightness and then applying precise pressure while the patient actively moves through specific ranges of motion. ART is commonly used to treat conditions caused by overuse, repetitive strain, or trauma, including neck and back pain, headaches, sciatica, shoulder impingement, rotator cuff injuries, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, IT band syndrome, hip pain, sports-related muscle strains and much more. This technique is effective for both acute and chronic conditions and is often used to help patients return to daily activities and athletic performance more quickly.

FAKTR® (Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehabilitation)

FAKTR® (Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehabilitation) is an advanced, movement-based soft tissue treatment that combines instrument-assisted therapy with functional assessment and corrective exercise. Using specially designed tools, clinicians identify and treat areas of soft tissue restriction, scar tissue, and fascial dysfunction while integrating movement to improve mobility and neuromuscular control. FAKTR is commonly used to treat conditions related to pain, movement dysfunction, and injury, including neck and back pain, shoulder and hip dysfunction, tendinopathies, sprains and strains, plantar fasciitis, IT band syndrome, chronic joint stiffness, and sports-related injuries. By addressing both tissue quality and movement patterns, FAKTR helps restore proper function, reduce pain, and support long-term recovery and performance.

Chattanooga® Radial Pressure Shockwave Therapy

Chattanooga® Radial Pressure Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive, evidence-based treatment that delivers high-energy acoustic pressure waves into injured or dysfunctional tissue to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. These pressure waves create controlled micro-stimulation within the tissue, which increases local blood circulation, enhances cellular metabolism, and triggers the release of growth factors that support tissue regeneration. Shockwave therapy also helps break down chronic scar tissue, adhesions, and calcific deposits that can restrict movement and delay healing, while reducing pain by desensitizing nerve endings and disrupting chronic pain signaling pathways.

Unlike passive modalities, radial pressure shockwave promotes active biological repair by encouraging collagen remodeling and improving tissue elasticity and strength over time. It is especially effective for chronic tendon and soft-tissue conditions where healing has stalled due to poor blood supply or long-standing inflammation. Commonly treated conditions include plantar fasciitis, Achilles and patellar tendinopathy, tennis and golfer’s elbow, shoulder and hip tendinopathies, calcific tendonitis, and persistent muscle trigger points. Treatments are quick, require no anesthesia or downtime, and are often combined with rehabilitation exercises to optimize long-term pain relief, function, and recovery.

Enovis® Class IV Laser

The Enovis® Class IV Laser is an advanced therapeutic laser treatment that uses high-powered light energy to penetrate deep into muscles, joints, and soft tissues to accelerate healing and reduce pain and inflammation. This laser works through a process called photobiomodulation, where specific wavelengths of light stimulate cellular activity, increasing ATP (cellular energy) production and enhancing the body’s natural repair processes. As a result, it improves circulation, decreases inflammation, relaxes tight muscles, and supports faster tissue regeneration.

Class IV laser therapy is effective for both acute and chronic conditions, including neck and back pain, muscle strains and sprains, tendon and ligament injuries, arthritis, joint pain, nerve irritation, post-surgical recovery, and sports-related injuries. Treatments are comfortable, non-invasive, and require no downtime, making them an excellent option for patients looking to reduce pain, heal more efficiently, and return to daily activities or athletic performance more quickly.

Spinal Decompression Therapy

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment designed to relieve pressure on the spine and promote healing of injured discs and surrounding structures. Using a specialized traction table, the spine is gently and precisely stretched and relaxed in controlled cycles, creating negative pressure within the spinal discs. This process helps reduce disc bulges or herniations and increase the flow of oxygen, water, and nutrients into the discs to support repair and regeneration.

Spinal decompression is commonly used to treat conditions such as herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, pinched nerves, chronic neck or low back pain, facet joint dysfunction, and spinal stenosis. Treatments are comfortable, closely monitored, and tailored to each patient’s condition. When combined with chiropractic care, rehabilitation exercises, and soft tissue therapy, spinal decompression can help reduce pain, restore mobility, and improve long-term spinal health without surgery or injections.
