While not covered by insurance, our discounted series of six sessions ensures accessible, rapid recovery for acute and chronic conditions.

Using digital foot scans, Dr. Shanahan designs spinal pelvic stabilizers that correct arch deficiencies, alleviate pain, and improve body alignment.

I've been visiting Dr Powell periodically for over 3 years, today I went to him with jaw pain that was making it hard to even sleep. My dentist gave me ibuprofen and sent me out, Dr Powell just put my jaw back into working order and I've never been more excited to chew food.
