Welcome To Our Practice
With a Doctor of Chiropractic degree and a Chiropractic Sports Medicine degree, we are expert in two arenas: Spine and Sport Medicine.
FOR PHYSICIANS AND PATIENTS: WHAT TO EXPECT
We diagnose and treat musculoskeletal conditions of the spine and extremities. If it involves joints: muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia, it’s our domain. Neck and lower back pain, headaches, sciatica, disc problems, TMJ disorder, plantar fasciitis, tunnel syndromes as well as sports-related conditions such as ankle sprains, achilles tendinitis, shoulder impingement and knee pain are some examples of what we address on a daily basis. We confer with other specialists on our patient's behalf to discuss MRI findings or determine if injection therapy or a surgical consult is necessary.
SPINE
As a spine care specialist, Dr. Gillman obtains a medical history and performs a thorough examination to effectively address spine problems, know when it is appropriate (or not) to order MRI, or to refer to other specialists such as a surgeon or physiatrist. We treat spine conditions with a combination of procedures mainly including highly skilled joint manipulation, both hands-on and instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy and exercises. We also provide other therapeutic procedures, including shockwave, laser and acupuncture dry needling. See our products/services tab to learn more.
SPORT
