At SHFT, we utilize chiropractic care as a gateway to better movement—helping restore proper function, integrate the nervous system, and reduce pain. Our approach combines chiropractic adjustments with soft tissue and movement-based therapies to create lasting results, not just temporary relief.

We guide every patient through our three phases of care: Reset, Reinforce, and Reload.

In the Reset phase, we use chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue modalities to decrease pain, improve mobility, and clear the path for movement without compensation. This phase focuses on restoring access to how your body is supposed to move.

In the Reinforce phase, we build on that progress by introducing targeted exercises and at-home strategies. This helps support and stabilize the improvements gained during the reset phase, ensuring your body can maintain those new movement patterns.

Finally, in the Reload phase, we focus on loading and strengthening those patterns. We develop resilience, improve performance, and solidify long-term results—so you can move confidently and keep pain from returning.

Our goal is not just to help you feel better, but to help you move better for the long run.

• Yes — we accept most major insurance plans for chiropractic treatments. Even better, we handle the hard part for you!  As a courtesy, our team will verify your benefits before your first visit so you know exactly what’s covered.  But the truth is , every plan is different, and coverage can vary depending on your insurance carrier and benefits.

• We also offer additional services like sports massage, recovery club sessions, corrective exercise, and personal training that may not be covered by insurance, but are designed to help you get better faster and stay that way. Our team will walk you through all your options so you can choose what’s best for your goals.

Some of our services are considered performance or wellness-based and may not be covered, including:

• Sports massage

• Recovery Club treatments

• Corrective exercise training

• Personal training

We offer flexible options and packages to make these accessible.

What sets us apart is our integrated approach:

• Chiropractic + rehab + soft tissue in one session

• Movement-based treatments, not just passive care

• Customized plans based on your goals (pain relief, recovery, or performance)

We don’t just treat symptoms—we address the root cause.

Your first visit includes:

• A full consultation and movement assessment

• Hands-on treatment (when appropriate)

• A clear plan moving forward

If needed, we’ll modify care based on your comfort level and goals.

Most patients feel relief immediately after an adjustment. Adjustments should not hurt! Our goal is to make you feel better, not hurt you more. If we ever put you in a position that doesn’t feel comfortable, we will need to move from that treatment to find which therapy might help.
Some may experience mild soreness (similar to a workout), especially if it’s your first visit—but it typically resolves quickly.

It depends on your condition and goals. Some patients feel better in just a few visits, while others benefit from a structured care plan.

We’ll always be transparent and build a plan that fits your needs—not over-treat.
