Services We Offer at Our Clinic in Cumming

A safe, precise movement applied to a joint can calm irritated nerves, restore motion, and reduce pain. The “pop” you might hear is just gas releasing.  Nothing to worry about. Most people feel freer turning, bending, and breathing after.  Many also notice a nervous‑system reset from “fight/flight” to a calmer, “rest/digest” state.



Better joint motion means fewer flare‑ups and more confident lifting and daily movement.

For stubborn, chronic problems like plantar fascia, Achilles, patellar, lateral elbow, shoulder tendons, shockwave is one of the deepest‑penetrating non‑invasive tools available (about 5 to 5½ inches), so we can reach deeper structures in the hip and shoulder region.

It ramps up blood flow and metabolic activity, reorganizes scar tissue, and nudges your body to finish healing. We use it mainly for chronic injuries where progress has stalled.

Tiny, sterile needles reset overactive muscles and wake up underperforming ones. We may use gentle pistoning or e‑stim when appropriate. It calms the nervous system (a lot like an adjustment), releases trigger points, and restores cleaner movement patterns.  This means less guarding, better muscle activation, smoother lifts, and runs.

The gold standard in soft‑tissue care, ART is a targeted “pin and stretch” taken through end‑range where joint and tendon receptors finally relax. We use it on muscle, tendon, ligament, and even joint capsule restrictions to unlock range quickly.  The result:  You actually get the range you’ve been stretching for, so your strength work lands and holds.

Stainless‑steel tools find and free up sticky, localized problem spots like golfer’s/tennis elbow, patellar tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis. We usually prime with light exercise, treat, then load during treatment (bands/weights) because tissue changes under load. We finish with reinforcement exercises so the new motion sticks.

Our style is dynamic: glide cups over tissue, then “set” them briefly on reactive spots (deeper redness, little blood dots). The goal is simple:  old blood out, new blood in. New blood carries what you need to heal. We’ll often move you through ranges of motion while the cups are on.  This results in quick drop in tightness, better circulation, and easier motion the same day.

Not a spa day.  This is goal‑driven work to reduce pain and restore mobility. Great when you want something less invasive than needles but more effective than a light Swedish session. Expect purposeful pressure, active techniques, and a plan tied to your sport or workload.  You’ll walk out looser and with steps to keep it.

Most active people need more than a printout of band drills. We build tailored, progressive programming that includes dynamic, engaging movements that match your lifts, runs, throws, or work demands.  You’ll build strength at the ranges you just earned, so pain doesn’t bounce back next week.

A gentle “up‑and‑down” technique to open jammed segments and calm disc/joint irritation. We prefer it over traction/decompression because it respects how the spine moves and avoids the downstream issues decompression can create.  You’ll get relief without the “cranked‑apart” feeling, then we’ll reinforce with smart movement.

A light‑touch method that helps the tissues around your brain, spinal cord, and sacrum relax. It can downshift your nervous system and improve cerebrospinal fluid flow. We often pair it with adjustments or dry needling.  The result is deeper relaxation, fewer headaches, and better tolerance to training and life.

Strategic cuffing lets you get strength and hypertrophy benefits with lighter loads, which is great after injury or when joints are cranky.  You get to rebuild quicker without beating up your joints.

We’ll test how you move with your hips, spine, shoulders, ankles, and why certain patterns hurt. Then we’ll map a step‑by‑step plan so you know exactly what we’re doing and what to do between visits.

About Cumming, Georgia

Cumming sits between Sawnee Mountain and Lake Lanier, so weekends here usually mean steep trail runs, boat days, and long hours shuttling on GA‑400 and Buford Hwy. That mix wears on hips, knees, backs, and shoulders. At Empower Sports Chiropractic, we tailor care so you can keep doing the things that make living here great.

You’ll find us minutes from Cumming City Center and a quick hop from Market Place Blvd and the Cumming Fairgrounds. We keep runners moving through the Sawnee Mountain Preserve, lifters strong, and busy parents comfortable for the commute and kid‑taxi life.
