Dr Howell will utilize chiropractic manipulative therapy, electrical therapeutic modalities, soft tissue massage, stretching, and strengthening exercises to treat his patients. Focus is first on relieving any pain that is present, then rehabilitating the injured area to prevent any long term or recurrent problems.

My goal for any treatment is to help bring the body back into a state of coherence. When we’re in a state of coherence, our breath is expansive, our muscles are hydrated, our digestion is strong, our skin and eyes glow, and we feel more like ourselves. This is the state where healing and regeneration happens. With continued treatment and practice over time, this state can become more of a baseline.
