Spinal manipulation, or the chiropractic adjustment, is a hands-on therapeutic technique designed to restore mobility and alleviate pain in the spine, pelvis, and surrounding musculoskeletal system. By applying a controlled, sudden force to specific spinal or pelvic joints, practitioners aim to improve joint restriction, correct misalignments, relieve pressure, and improve nerve function. At Copa Chiropractic & Rehab, all adjustments are preceded by percussion massage, unless advised otherwise by the provider.

Non-surgical spinal decompression is a non-invasive treatment designed to alleviate chronic spine or nerve pain caused by conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, facet syndrome, and nerve impingement. Using specialized motorized tables or devices, this therapy gently stretches the spine to decompress the spine and to create negative pressure within the spinal discs. This negative pressure promotes fluid flow and nutrient delivery to damaged discs, enhancing recovery. Spinal decompression may help provide long-term pain relief and improved mobility without the risks or recovery time associated with surgery.

We utilized advanced Kinetisense software to perform comprehensive functional movement analyses. This innovative, markerless motion capture technology allows us to objectively assess your movement patterns in real-time, identifying areas of dysfunction or imbalance that may contribute to pain or limit mobility. By pinpointing these issues, we can create personalized rehabilitation programs tailored to your unique needs and goals. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or aiming to optimize performance, our approach combines precise data-driven insights with individualized care to help you achieve sustainable results and enhance your overall well-being.

Percussion massage therapy utilizes rapid, rhythmic strokes to deeply penetrate muscle tissue, typically delivered through handheld devices known as massage guns. This technique enhances blood circulation and reduces muscle tension. By stimulating nerve receptors, percussion massage activates the body’s natural pain-relief mechanisms, helping to alleviate discomfort and improve flexibility. At Copa Chiropractic & Rehab, all adjustments are preceded by percussion massage, unless advised otherwise by the provider.

Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), or “scraping”, is an innovative therapy that uses specially designed tools to target and treat soft tissue dysfunction. By applying controlled pressure to the affected area, IASTM helps break down scar tissue and fascial adhesions, which can develop due to injury, surgery, or repetitive strain. This process stimulates a localized inflammatory response, promoting tissue repair and collagen remodeling. As a result, IASTM enhances mobility, reduces pain, and accelerates recovery.

Cupping therapy is an ancient practice that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This suction draws the skin and underlying tissues into the cup, creating a negative pressure environment that enhances blood flow and promotes healing. It also lifts and separates fascial layers, improving mobility and reducing pain by enhancing fascial glide and reducing tissue densification.

Dynamic taping is a versatile therapeutic tool designed to support movement, enhance performance, and aid in recovery without restricting mobility. Unlike rigid or traditional kinesiology tapes, dynamic tape offers superior elasticity and recoil, allowing it to absorb and redistribute forces across muscles, tendons, and joints. This unique property helps reduce the load on injured structures, improve joint stability, and assist or resist movement as needed. Applications range from preventing injuries like ACL tears by correcting landing mechanics to alleviating muscle tension, supporting weak muscles, and facilitating proper movement patterns.

We understand that life can be unpredictable and busy. That's why we offer convenient mobile services designed to accommodate a variety of needs. Whether you have a hectic schedule that makes it hard to find time for appointments, are juggling childcare responsibilities that make leaving the house a challenge, rely on others for transportation, or are facing an urgent chiropractic issue that leaves you unable to drive, we've got you covered.

Dry needling is a specialized technique used to target myofascial trigger points —tight, knotted areas within muscles that contribute to pain, stiffness, and restricted mobility. During treatment, thin, sterile needles are inserted into these trigger points to stimulate a localized twitch response, which helps release tension, break up scar tissue, and improve blood flow to the affected area. This process reduces inflammation, resets muscle function, and disrupts pain signals, providing relief from chronic discomfort and restoring normal movement.
