Sciatica, which causes sharp pain radiating from the lower back down the legs, can make daily activities challenging. At Movement Chiropractic & Sports Clinic, we use dry needling as a targeted, effective therapy to help relieve sciatica pain by reducing muscle tension, releasing trigger points, and improving mobility. By inserting thin needles into specific tight muscle areas, dry needling releases pressure around the sciatic nerve, reducing pain and inflammation while supporting natural healing.

Cold plunge therapy is exactly what it sounds like: immersing yourself in cold water for a short period of time, usually between 50-59°F. This cold exposure helps reduce inflammation, boost circulation, and speed up recovery after intense physical activity.

It’s not just for pro athletes either—anyone looking to keep their muscles feeling fresh, improve recovery, and reduce soreness can benefit from a cold plunge. Plus, it’s a great way to wake up your body and mind!

Compression boot therapy involves wearing specialized boots that cover the legs and apply controlled air pressure in cycles. These boots use graduated compression, where pressure is applied in a sequential manner from the feet up to the thighs, encouraging blood flow and lymphatic drainage. This process helps reduce muscle soreness, flush out metabolic waste like lactic acid, and improve circulation, which is essential for effective recovery.

We’ve got a whole lineup of therapies to help you get there: from chiropractic adjustments to dry needling, infrared sauna therapy, compression boot therapy, cold plunge therapy, the Graston Technique, and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS).

Unlike traditional saunas that use hot air to heat the body, an infrared sauna uses infrared light to warm the body directly. This unique process allows for a deeper, more comfortable heat that penetrates the skin and tissues, stimulating multiple health benefits without the need for high external temperatures. Infrared sauna therapy is known for its ability to improve circulation, relieve muscle tension, detoxify the body, and promote a sense of relaxation.

Holistic chiropractic care is an approach that looks at the body as an interconnected system. Rather than treating symptoms alone, it focuses on finding and addressing the root causes of pain or dysfunction. By integrating dry needling, the Graston Technique, and chiropractic adjustments into a single, cohesive treatment plan, we provide our patients with powerful, lasting relief that supports full-body health.

DNS is effective for patients of all backgrounds, including:

• Those with chronic pain or recurring injuries

• Athletes seeking enhanced performance and injury prevention

• Individuals with poor posture or muscle imbalances

• Anyone looking to improve mobility and functional movement

As a certified specialist through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), Dr. Hunt has advanced knowledge in exercise science, movement analysis, and corrective techniques. This certification allows him to provide more effective, customized care that supports lasting pain relief, improved mobility, and enhanced performance.

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique that involves inserting very thin, sterile needles into specific muscle trigger points or tight knots within muscles. These trigger points can cause pain, reduce range of motion, or lead to muscle imbalances. By targeting these areas, dry needling stimulates a release in the muscle, reduces tension, and increases blood flow, all of which help promote healing.

The Active Release Technique (ART) is a patented, manual therapy approach that treats conditions related to muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves.

ART is particularly effective for:

• Treating chronic pain in the neck, shoulders, back, and hips

• Releasing tightness in overused muscles

• Addressing conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, and plantar fasciitis

• Supporting athletic recovery and injury prevention

The technique is especially beneficial for conditions like:

• Tendonitis

• Plantar fasciitis

• Carpal tunnel syndrome

• Shin splints

• Scar tissue restrictions

• Muscle strains and sprains

Dr. Drew Hunt, a certified RockTape® ‘Rock Doc,’ uses therapeutic taping method to assist patients in managing pain and maximizing physical performance safely and effectively.

SFMA is particularly useful for patients experiencing:

• Chronic pain or recurring injuries

• Limited mobility or flexibility

• Athletic performance issues

• Difficulty with everyday movements like bending, reaching, or walking
