1. Use proven treatments, backed by science

Chiropractic Adjusting Services
Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper motion to the joints in your body. Dr. O'Brien uses Diversified Technique, Drop Table, Flexion-Distraction, Activator Methods® to apply a quick, succinct movement, or gentle pressure to the joint area.
When joints become stiff or restricted, it can lead to tension, discomfort, and over time, even accelerate wear and tear—like arthritis. Using precise, gentle techniques, our Arlington chiropractor applies hands-on or instrument-assisted adjustments to improve movement and relieve pain.
Regular chiropractic care helps you move better, feel better, and keep your joints healthy for the long run.
Manual Therapy Techniques
Most routine visits at our clinic include targeted manual therapy in addition to chiropractic adjustments.
We use a variety of hands-on techniques to address soft tissue injuries, muscle tension, trigger points, and myofascial pain—helping your body heal more effectively.
Our methods include:
• Myofascial release
• Trigger point therapy
• Instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy using a stainless steel Graston tool
These techniques support faster recovery, reduce pain, and improve overall mobility.
Functional Rehab Exercises
Functional rehabilitation is a key part of our chiropractic care in Arlington, WA. These exercises are designed to restore strength, mobility, and balance—helping you recover faster and prevent future injuries.
Pain and injury often lead to muscle imbalances and changes in movement patterns that affect your everyday life. Our rehab exercises are tailored to correct those imbalances so you can move better, get stronger, and return to the activities you love—without pain holding you back.
By combining chiropractic adjustments, manual therapy, and functional rehab, we take a comprehensive approach that addresses the root cause of your pain and supports long-term health and wellness.
