About Us

Z Spine and Joint Center was established to provide the Twin Cities area with a conservative care diagnostic center that specializes in the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries. The doctor and staff at Z Spine and Joint Center are committed to improving their patients’ physical-well being in a way unique to the Eagan and Twin Cities area. Patients will receive evidence-based, chiropractic, functional exercise, and soft tissue care while at Z Spine and Joint Center that is tailored to each individual. Chiropractic adjustments are utilized to restore proper motion and health to the joints. Therapeutic/functional exercises are given to speed recovery and prevent re-injury, thereby minimizing the number of treatments required to heal. Soft tissue therapy is provided to release scarring and adhesions that are often a component of injury. By providing evidenced-based care with individualized treatment plans and active care, our patients receive unique healthcare and exemplary results at a reasonable cost.

Our Approach to Healthcare

Z Spine and Joint Center is an evidenced-based chiropractic practice that offers specialized manual treatment methods in a combination that is unique to the area. These methods include:

• Adjustment techniques and joint assessments from the Motion Palpation Institute, a biomechanically superior, evidence-based joint manipulation protocol. (To learn more about the Motion Palpation Institute visit http://www.motionpalpation.com)

• Soft Tissue Manipulation based on the medically proven Graston Technique (Learn more at http://www.grastontechnique.com) and Active Release Techniques® (A.R.T.) (Learn more at http://www.activerelease.com).

• Rehabilitation and therapeutic exercises.

•Dietary Recommendations

The term Evidenced-Based Practice means studying what current research is suggesting and applying this to practice. Because of this, Z Spine and Joint Center utilizes a rationale different than many traditional chiropractic treatment programs. Each patient is unique, as is their condition, requiring equally distinctive treatment programs. While chiropractic adjusting is crucial to patient care, it’s only one health care tool in a bag of many tools. Some patients need chiropractic adjusting, others benefit from soft tissue manipulation and a majority of our patients require a combination of joint manipulation, muscular therapy and rehabilitation techniques.
