“Once the assessment is complete, evidence-based treatment techniques will be used based on your specific needs and preferences. ”
soft tissue therapy
After sustaining an injury, soft tissues need specific instructions to properly heal. The absence of these instructions can lead to pain, weakness, and the feeling of tightness. Dr. Keenan uses evidence-based techniques designed to direct tissue healing and ultimately improve your movement.
Joint manipulation/mobilization
Joint manipulation and mobilizations are effective techniques used to facilitate joint health. This in turn can decrease pain, increase range of motion, and improve performance. Joint manipulation causes a quick and subtle separation of a joint causing the release of gas. This release of gas is the “crack” or “pop” often heard.
acupuncture
Acupuncture works by using fine filament needles to penetrate soft tissue in order to stimulate the nervous system. Depending on the case, these needles may be stimulated by a gentle electrical impulse to aid in the effectiveness of treatment. In turn, this can help reduce pain, encourage tissue healing, and ultimately improve performance.
