GETTING YOU CLOSER TO YOUR PERFORMANCE GOALS

SERVICES

Our approach to care revolves around meeting the patient where he or she is at. We understand that not everybody is ready to jump into an intense exercise routine right off the bat, so gradually exposing the patient with movements and treatments that decrease discomfort and increase movement confidence are of utmost importance, especially early on in the treatment process. To prevent stagnation of progress, we slowly challenge the body in different ways in order to achieve adaptation and increases in performance.

CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT

A valuable and core part of your care. The doctor will test joint movement and assess range of motion, while gauging movement quality, pain levels and any other reproduction of symptoms from the patient. Chiropractic adjustments address joint restrictions, which can inhibit range of motion, reduce proprioception and decrease potential muscular engagement.

MANUAL THERAPY

At times, the body will need some additional care in the soft tissues. Though not extensive, additional manual therapy through hands on or instrument assistance (e.g.: body tempering) can help increase range of motion, decrease muscle spasm and decrease pain, in addition to chiropractic adjustments.

RESISTANCE TRAINING/ EXERCISE

Improvement in movement confidence and competence is what we strive for at Dark Horse Chiropractic and Performance. Being able to be in control of how your body moves and feels is invaluable when it comes to improving quality of life. Being able to be strong and resilient through various ranges of motion is empowering.

This is what ultimately separates those who get better in the short term and those that stay better long term. By identifying weaknesses and subsequently prescribing additional exercises or technique adjustments to specific movements, the objective is to build upon the previous visit to help patients reach their goals.

Dark Horse Chiropractic and Performance is located within Lake Washington CrossFit gym, which is provides a natural setting for patients to perform exercises and athletic movements.
