How We Help
Individualized Conservative Spine Care
Our care is focused on finding the fastest way to get you out of pain — and preventing it from returning. We use a variety of treatment and educational options to help you reach a life of less pain, greater activity, and more control.
Hands-On Treatment Options
Manual Joint Manipulation
Chiropractic adjustment is a manual procedure that utilizes the highly refined skills developed during the doctor of chiropractic's intensive years of education. Dr. Block uses his hands to gently manipulate the joints of the spine to restore or enhance joint function and provide pain relief. It is a highly controlled procedure that rarely causes discomfort.
Manual Joint Mobilization
Spinal mobilization is the application of manual force to spinal joints within the passive range of motion, employing slow movements to a firm endpoint of joint movement — in order to re-establish correct movement patterns and reduce irritation.
Manual Soft Tissue Therapy
Dr. Block uses a variety of hands-on soft tissue therapies to improve the function of muscles, ligaments, and tendons — reducing pain and restoring balance to the spine. Techniques include Nimmo trigger point therapy, active release therapy, and various massage techniques.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
IASTM uses specially designed instruments to provide a mobilizing effect to soft tissue — such as scar tissue and myofascial adhesions — to decrease pain and improve range of motion and function.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation
EMS uses mild electrical pulses to mimic nerve signals and trigger pain-relieving chemical responses in your body. Applied at an intensity of your choosing, it provides pain relief at the site of application and complements other treatments by reducing local irritation.
RockTape & Kinesiotaping
Dr. Block is certified in RockTape/Kinesiotaping, Rock Blades, Neuromuscular Reeducation, trigger point therapy, post-isometric relaxation, and more — all aimed at correcting muscle imbalances and supporting recovery.
Rehabilitation & Education Services
Spine Stability Programs
Both individual and group spine stability programs are available. The Group Rehab program has a long track record of speeding up treatment results, reducing recurrences, and building lasting self-management skills.
Individualized Therapeutic Exercise
Exercise programs are tailored specifically to your condition and goals — not a generic handout. Dr. Block designs progressions that address the root cause of your pain and build the strength and stability to keep it from coming back.
Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)
PRT is a system of treatment that retrains the brain to interpret and respond to body signals properly, breaking the cycle of chronic pain. A randomized controlled study at the University of Colorado Boulder found that 98% of chronic back pain patients improved with PRT, and 66% were pain-free or nearly pain-free at the end of treatment — outcomes largely maintained one year later.
