Muscle & Joint Clinic is an award-winning treatment center. We integrate the physical, emotional, and chemical components of the human body to reduce pain and restore function. Our integrative chiropractic office incorporates a three-fold approach:
- RELEASING tight, dysfunctional muscles
- REMOBILIZING immobilized tissues
- RESTORING proper motion & function
Your Pain
Back Pain
The low back needs to be strong enough to lift the groceries out of the backseat and flexible enough to pick up the clothes off the floor.
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, also referred to as EDS, weakens the connective tissue in the body. Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is inherited. EDS affects the body very differently from person to person.
Knee Pain
Knees rarely diverge from normal movement on their own. They become painful and broken down as a result of dysfunction.

Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy is a sound-based method of breaking up scar tissue. This sends highly focused sound waves into the areas of your body identified.
Light Therapy
Light Therapy (also known as photobiomodulation) delivers safe, concentrated wavelengths of natural light to your skin and cells which stimulates them to heal themselves. This lowers inflammation and pain as well as speeds up the healing process.

Dr. Anderson has been a big help with speeding up the healing process. He works quickly and very effectively.
~ Shannon, Academy Award winner
Dr. Anderson is absolutely the best doctor I’ve ever had in any capacity, not just as a chiropractor. If only every doctor cared so much about helping their patients. He is also one of the most knowledgeable people on the planet when it comes to nutrition. I can’t count the number of lifelong problems I had, that he fixed permanently and quickly. I absolutely highly recommend him!
