Dr. Mitton is Durango’s evidence-based sports chiropractor offering effective chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue mobilization, and therapeutic exercise for injuries, acute and chronic conditions, and overall better performance.

Chiropractic Techniques: Diversified, Extremity Adjusting, Activator, Flexion-Distraction, Drop Table, graded mobilization, Mulligan Mobilization, and more.

Soft Tissue Techniques: Myofascial Release (active or passive), Trigger Point Therapy, cupping (static or dynamic), neurodynamics, instrument assisted (IASTM), vibration therapy, and much more.

We offer these services as stand-alone therapies or as add-ons for chiropractic patients who want or need more time treating soft tissues. These are good options for anyone experiencing pain, stiffness, muscular imbalances, or athletes looking to improve their overall performance and recovery.

Cupping Therapy: Cupping is a time-tested therapy used for reducing pain, muscle soreness/stiffness, and inflammation. It promotes increased blood flow for better healing, recovery, and relaxation. There are two main methods for cupping: static and dynamic. With static cupping, the cups are placed in the areas of complaint and left there for a period of time. With dynamic cupping, the cups are utilized with movement; either movement of the cups themselves or specific movements we guide the patient through to decrease symptoms and improve mobility. Dynamic cupping may even be used for certain types of nerve pain and nerve entrapments.

Soft Tissue Manipulation: This is more specific than massage therapy and focuses on a particular region or complaint. Methods used include Myofascial Release Therapy (active or passive), Trigger Point Therapy, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF), Muscle Energy Technique (MET), Post-Isometric Relaxation (PIR), Reciprocal Inhibition (RI), Vibration Therapy, and others.
