Ramsey, Minnesota

Dr. Jessica Wark, MS '18
www.pschiropracticcenter.com
We are a Chiropractic clinic that specializes in sports and athletic injuries. We enjoy looking at body mechanics to determine imbalances that may be causing pain, weakness or instability. There are various forms of therapy tools that we utilize which include: cupping, k-tape, athletic tape, assisted stretching and instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization. After therapies, we look at which joints would benefit from an adjustment to improve the areas function. This could be the spine, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee or ankle. Once we get an area mobilized we then work on stabilizing the issue with corrective exercises for long term goal success. Athlete or not, we enjoy working with individuals who are interested in moving and feeling better so that they can do the activities that they enjoy to do.
