Services We Offer
Chiropractic Adjustments
A chiropractic adjustment, or spinal manipulation, is a treatment commonly applied to the joints in the spine or extremities when they stop working normally. They can do so by a variety of mechanisms like falling, poor posture or even stress from work. The chiropractic adjustment restores normal joint function and can be a source of fast pain relief. It alone has been proven more effective than drugs or placebo for certain conditions. Don’t like the “CRACK” or “POP” you may hear from an adjustment? Dr. Shuman is trained in a variety of techniques that are meant to match patient comfort while still delivering clinically superior results.
Active Release Technique
Muscles and other soft tissues (tendons, nerves, ligaments and fascia) can also lose proper function just like joints do. Scar tissue, or “knots”, can severely impact the way our muscles perform. We get these knots from exercise, overuse and repetitive motions or postures. Dr. Shuman is an Instructor Level provider (the only one in Atlanta) of Active Release Technique, the “Gold Standard” in soft-tissue healthcare. While ART is the most effective and consistent tool used, he also does instrument work (“scraping”), cupping and taping.
Functional Movement Exercises
Sometimes our patients just want fast pain relief and that’s totally fine! But if you’re looking to move better and stay that way, Dr. Shuman can perform a detailed functional movement assessment to uncover hidden patterns that could become painful over time. From there, he develops a tailored corrective exercise program aimed at rebuilding strength, improving mobility, and optimizing movement patterns. Your plan may include specific stretches, activation drills, and functional tasks to help your body move more efficiently and reduce the risk of future injury.
