Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care focuses on correcting spinal misalignments to improve nervous system function. Using manual adjustments and specialized instruments, we help alleviate pain from musculoskeletal conditions while promoting natural healing. Treatment plans often include exercise recommendations and posture correction to maintain long-term wellness benefits.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy addresses pain sources through targeted rehabilitation programs. Our approach combines strength training, flexibility exercises, and coordination drills to restore mobility after injuries. We focus on identifying compensatory movement patterns that contribute to chronic pain, creating customized recovery plans for optimal functional improvement.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy uses specific light wavelengths to accelerate tissue healing and reduce inflammation. This non-invasive treatment effectively manages both acute injuries and chronic pain conditions by stimulating cellular repair processes without requiring medication or surgery.
Functional Medicine
Functional medicine addresses chronic disease root causes through personalized treatment plans. We analyze genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors affecting health, combining chiropractic care with nutritional guidance to create comprehensive wellness strategies that support the body's natural healing mechanisms.
Kinesio Taping
Kinesio taping provides muscle and joint support while maintaining full range of motion. This latex-free technique enhances circulation, reduces swelling, and prolongs therapeutic effects between appointments. It's particularly effective for sports injuries and chronic pain management without restricting movement.

First time there. Everyone was great and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Gustafson is knowledgeable and gave me a painless adjustment. I felt great after my appointment. Aug.25th My first appt. was great and they still are. Dr. Troy is very patient with me and my aches and pains. He is helping me figure out what could be causing it. I feel great after my adjustments. He always pinpoints and adjusts where its bothering me most. The girls at front desk are as sweet as can be. I highly recommend Able Body Health Center.

I've been seeing Dr. Gustafson for close to 20 years. What separates him from other chiropractors is his muscle testing and applied kinesiology for diagnosing problem areas and drop table used for more effective treatment. He always has your health in mind and does a great job keeping me pain free and moving. Highly recommended!

I look forward to seeing Dr. Gustafson every time I am in town. I have seen a handful of Chiropractor's over the years, and Dr. Gustafson exceeds them all by far. He is very thorough and pays attention to your individual needs. His treatment is kinesiology based, which I think is much better than conventional chiropractic. If you're considering this office, go for it. You will not be disappointed.

Dr. Gustafson is the best Chiropractor I have ever been treated by. He is compassionate and thorough; taking the time to treat your issues instead of just getting you in and out. I would go so far as to say he is gifted!
