Physiotherapy

Woman doing physical therapy At The Clinic on Elm, our goal is to have several services available at one location to better meet your needs. Physiotherapy was added due to benefits such as increased flexibility, better range of motion and the alleviation of your symptoms. If you see one of our chiropractors and we believe you can benefit from physiotherapy, it can be a part of your plan with us or done on its own. For example, patients who have recently undergone a surgery can benefit from having physiotherapy immediately to start enhancing their mobility.
