As a chiropractor, Dr. Barrese focuses on helping patients improve mobility, manage pain, and support the body’s natural healing process. His treatments are non-invasive and centered on spinal health and overall function. He uses a variety of techniques tailored to the patient’s condition and goals, with a focus on safety and long-term improvement. Among the methods he employs is the flexion-distraction technique, which utilizes a specialized table to gently stretch and decompress the spine. This method is effective in relieving pressure on spinal nerves and is commonly used for conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, and lower back pain. Dr. Barrese also employs the Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT), a gentle method that focuses on the connection between the sacrum and the occiput. He uses trigger point therapy to address muscle tension and pain, as well as rehabilitation exercises and physical therapy routines that help patients rebuild strength, improve flexibility, and promote recovery. Dr. Barrese treats a variety of conditions, including lower neck and upper back pain, pain caused by herniated discs, and sciatica. He also treats neck pain that results from whiplash, poor posture, or muscle strain. His care extends to patients suffering from tension headaches and migraines linked to spinal misalignment. He provides treatment for shoulder conditions such as rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, and shoulder impingement. In addition, Dr. Barrese works with patients experiencing joint pain in the knees, hips, elbows, and other areas, often caused by injuries or arthritis. His treatment plans are designed to offer drug-free pain relief and long-term improvements in physical function and quality of life.
