Acupuncture
At Wiest Chiropractic, we utilize acupuncture as part of our holistic approach to improving overall health and well-being.

Certified Athletic Trainer
Athletic trainers are health care professionals who collaborate with physicians. The services provided by Athletic trainers comprise prevention, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention, and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions. Dr. Kassie Wiest utilizes her background in athletic training to serve her patients with personalized rehabilitation programs and therapies.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Dr. Wiest studied Receptor-Tonus Technique, which is a technique addressing muscular problems. These muscular problems are sometimes referred to as "trigger points." With this specific technique, the doctor applies pressure on these trigger points for variable amounts of time, allowing the muscle to relax and acquire normal function. This technique, paired with a chiropractic adjustment, allows both the bone and the muscle to move normally, restoring proper joint function. Dr. Wiest also uses active myofascial release, which helps relieve tension and trigger points. The doctor applies pressure on the trigger points while taking the muscle through passive ranges of motion. Again, paired with chiropractic adjustments, this technique helps relieve tension and increase function of the joint.
