Chiropractors are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions of the entire musculoskeletal system – the body’s bones, muscles, cartilage, tendons, joints and connective tissue.



Dr. Watson and Dr. Barlot may use a combination of techniques in their treatments. They often include chiropractic adjustments to correct joint dysfunction and/or Active Release Technique (ART®) to remove scar tissue adhesions. This approach is very effective in treating the following conditions:


 Headaches and Migraines

 IT Band Syndrome (Runner’s Knee)

 Rotator Cuff/Shoulder Sprains/strains

 Patellar Tendonitis (Jumper’s Knee)

 Piriformis Syndrome

 Plantar Fasciitis

 Tennis Elbow

 Kids’ Sports and Lifestyle Injuries
