Description

Derrick has a strong focus on evidence-based practice with post graduate interest in treating sports injuries and rotational athletes. He is trained in Orthopedic Manual Therapy, Western Acupuncture and Dry Needling, Athletic Training and Taping, Myofascial Release, and Trigger Point Therapy. Derrick routinely uses dry needling and joint manipulation to reduce pain, improve joint range of motion, and modulate neuromuscular function. Standardized manual testing and subjective scoring is used routinely which affords an empirical approach to his assessment and treatment.
