Applied Kinesiology Testing
Dr. Tom uses advanced muscle testing techniques to identify functional weaknesses and nervous system imbalances. This clinical assessment helps determine the most effective treatment approach for your pain, ensuring each adjustment and intervention is targeted precisely where you need it most.
Our Comprehensive Approach
Pain doesn’t exist in isolation. It results from nervous system interference, structural misalignment, muscular tension, inflammation, and lifestyle factors working in concert. Our approach addresses all these dimensions:
Spinal Adjustment & Mobilization
Precise spinal adjustments restore proper alignment, remove nerve interference, and enhance your body’s natural healing ability. Dr. Lankering uses evidence-based techniques tailored to your specific condition and comfort level.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and therapeutic massage address muscular tension, improve circulation, and accelerate healing in connective tissues supporting your spine and joints.
Therapeutic Exercise
Targeted exercises rebuild strength, improve stability, and retrain movement patterns to prevent recurrence. We provide home exercise programs you can perform between visits.
Lifestyle & Nutritional Support
Anti-inflammatory nutrition, ergonomic correction, stress reduction, and sleep optimization create the foundation for lasting pain relief and tissue healing.
