About Us

---

Dr. Terry Ycasas (they/them) is a chiropractor with a variety of specialties. They help a multitude of patients including pregnant women, children, those with acute injuries, chronic conditions, patients who have suffered trauma from a motor vehicle collision, and patients who have transitioned into regular wellness care (i.e., patients who no longer experience symptoms, and continue care to improve their movement and function, and to minimize nerve disturbances for optimal health).  

Dr. Terry performs traditional chiropractic adjustments and a technique called Torque Release.

Torque Release is a system that addresses neurological imbalances by reducing tension in the spinal column via the dura (the tissue that surrounds the spinal column). By unwinding the dura, we improve nerve frequency and allow the body to move into a parasympathetic state (a.k.a. rest and digest), which is where healing occurs.

In addition to adjustments, Dr. Terry incorporates the following techniques and therapies to aid the chiropractic adjustment:

Neuro Emotional Technique (N.E.T.)

Stress responses such as fear, anger, grief, and many others can sometimes negatively affect us long after the original event that caused them. When our body fails to 'let go' of these responses we can find ourselves with unexplained aversions, destructive beliefs, phobias, and many chronic physical problems. We use an approach called N.E.T. to identify, and help you let go of, 'stuck' mind-body stress patterns.

Arthrostim Instrument

The ArthroStim Instrument is a machine that delivers 12 - 14 incremental thrusts per second making it stronger and faster than a typical single thrust adjustment. The tool is ideal for patients who prefer a gentler approach to traditional chiropractic adjustments.

Interferential Current Therapy (IFC)

IFC is a form of electrical muscle stimulation used to treat acute and chronic pain from trauma, injury, or surgery. It relieves pain, increases blood flow, and reduces inflammation and swelling. IFC is different from a TENS unit in that TENS delivers low-frequency current across the surface of the skin whereas IFC delivers a higher frequency current that penetrates deeper into the tissue.

High-Voltage Ultrasound (HV/US)

HV/US combines high-voltage electrical stimulation with ultrasound therapy to promote faster and more efficient treatment for pain relief. It decreases musculoskeletal pain and muscle spasms, increases local circulation, increases/maintains joint range of motion, and is an effective treatment modality in treating trigger points.

Alpha-Stim

The Alpha-Stim is a cranial electrotherapy stimulation device that uses a patented waveform to stimulate and modulate specific groups of nerves in the brain to relieve anxiety, insomnia, and depression.

Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)

IASTM is based on the principles of cross-friction massage. We use stainless steel tools that have been designed to specifically detect and effectively treat injured areas with soft tissue build up or chronic inflammation. IASTM is used to perform muscle mobilization by breaking down fascial restriction, scar tissue, and adhesions in the muscle fascia. The benefits of IASTM includes faster pain relief, improved mobility, and quicker recovery.

High Frequency Oscillation Tool

The high frequency oscillation tool combines high frequency with magnetic therapy to create a powerful myofascial release therapy instrument. It is an effective tool to release tension, balance tissue and muscle mechanics, and improve range of motion due to trauma, posture, and inflammation.

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy uses focused light to stimulate cells and trigger cellular metabolism. In effect, it accelerates the body's natural healing processes and aids in a myriad of problems, including decreasing pain, inflammation, and edema. Additionally, it stimulates muscle and connective tissue repair.

Craniosacral Therapy (CST)

CST is a gentle hands-on technique used to relieve tension in the central nervous system to promote a sense of well-being by boosting health and immunity. CST uses less than 5 grams of pressure to release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the central nervous system as well as other systems, such as digestive, respiratory, circulatory, and musculoskeletal.

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Trigger Point Release

Dr. Terry uses trigger point therapy to help soften and release the muscles surrounding the TMJ to reduce pain and tension.

In their free time, Dr. Terry enjoys weight training, yoga, rock climbing, photography, science fiction, BBC murder mysteries, eating, and trying new recipes.
