A Comprehensive and Caring Approach for each Patient

Often referred to as spinal joint manipulations, this manual technique restores movement to joints that are restricted in various ranges of motion. If a joint is restricted in movement, pain and dysfunction result. Our doctors carefully assess and identify abnormal movement patterns and attempt to restore normal motion. This can result in immediate pain relief and allows the body to heal the injured area properly.

Rarely is a musculoskeletal pain just a joint or just a muscle issue. It is usually a combination of both and because of this the chiropractors at Duluth Chiropractic Clinic will always address both issues. We utilize numerous muscle techniques for overactive or hypertonic muscles including: deep tissue massage, cross-frictional massage, myofascial release, Graston Technique, post-isometric relaxation, neuromuscular re education and kinesiotaping.

Dr. Sundberg is licensed in acupuncture and uses acupuncture needles to release deep trigger points in the muscles of the body. This technique is often referred to as “dry needling”. Using acupuncture needles to release deep knots in the muscles that are difficult to get to with manual therapies can be extremely effective at relieving muscular pain.

Our doctors have taken extensive postgraduate training in screening for muscular weakness and imbalance. We can provide you with a customized “injury-specific” protocol that will rehabilitate your neck, back, or extremity dysfunction. Whether your body displays tightness, weakness or both, we will address any dysfunctional patterns to allow you to feel and function your best.
