Chiropractic

A thorough clinical exam of your musculoskeletal systems, which includes history taking, inspection, static and motion palpation, orthopedic tests, instrumentation, ordering appropriate studies such as labs and imaging.

What the Chiropractic Exam Includes

Clinical Exam. Health history, vitals, trauma, functional deficits.
Spine and Extremities Exam. Which joints are out of position, or not moving the way they should.
Upper Cervical Neurological Exam. How the nervous system is responding, and where the deficits are.

Digitally Measured Strength Analysis. Exactly where you are strong and where you are weak, today.
Selective Functional Movement Assessment. How your body moves during specific activities, and what is limiting it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredible Care and Instant Knee Relief!
After a year of chronic knee pain from pickleball, I visited Dr. Cox for shockwave therapy. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly explain how the shockwave technology works and what to expect during the application. His detailed explanations completely put me at ease
The treatment itself worked like magic. I experienced instant relief and played pickleball pain-free that same night. I can finally bend my knee and get into my Jeep without any discomfort after playing for 2 hours.
Dr. Cox combines amazing patient care with a highly effective treatment. I cannot recommend him or shockwave therapy enough!

Dr. Michael is knowledgeable, amiable, and patiently answers my questions. I recently had my first massage with Steve, and it was top notch! Everyone on staff is professional as well as compassionate and welcoming.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience at Insight Chiropractic. I came in with hip pain at a 10/10, and after my adjustment, it immediately dropped to a 5/10. The relief was noticeable right away. The staff was friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire visit. Excellent service and a great team—I highly recommend Insight Chiropractic!
