Along with her passionate team of healthcare professionals, Dr. Helen is committed to creating a path to wellness for each patient so that they’re never solely reliant on her office treatments to feel better.

Because of her extensive training and experience, Dr. Helen can help her clients live pain-free lives while increasing range of motion and strengthening their bodies through the application of multiple modalities, including:

 
A variety of traditional, gentle and non-forceful chiropractic techniques to achieve the ultimate result of spinal realignment
Soft-tissue work to reduce muscle tightness and spasms
Physical therapy to increase flexibility, mobility, and strength
Acupuncture to enhance the benefits of chiropractic adjustments
Ergonomics to prevent re-aggravation and promote good posture
