Dr. Tony Peters offers an array of manual and instrument assisted techniques to make sure that your healing and prevention is tailored to exactly what you uniquely need.
Dr. Tony’s approach uses:
Experience (20 plus years)
Logic/Reasoning
Science
“Gut Instinct”
Each client comes to us for different reasons: pain, stress, injury, or the best possible case – prevention. Rest assured, we will work with you to achieve your goals. While we enjoy our clients, it’s not our long-term goal to see them all too frequently. In fact, many of our clients maintain a wellness regiment of the popular *One Hour Chiropractic-BodyWork Session every 4 to 6 weeks for prevention, maintenance and optimizing performance. Together (Client and Dr Tony), we will work hard up front to get results and decrease and eliminate symptoms.
Dr Peters’ care is highly detailed. Did you know that some folks even come to get his thorough treatment in addition to their already exisiting health care and wellness services (even if they already have other memberships or plans elsewhere)? Some clients even come from other states to get a session a few times each year as an adjunct to the care they get back at home. The main reason is that Dr Tony’s approach encompasses a thorough diagnosis and treatment of connective and muscle tissue. He compares it to getting your car a good deep detailing versus a routine drive-in car wash. Both work, but sometimes you just need good ‘ol elbow grease!
Dr. Tony Peters makes the appropriate referrals to specializing professionals when necessary to ensure the best care for his clients, and always works in best interest of his client’s health and wellbeing.

Nimmo Trigger Point Release/FasciAL Manipulation
Imagine a bunch of rubber bands stuck together. This is what happens when muscle fibers (which should be running parallel to each other, much like the fibers on a paintbrush) become tight and glued together by scar tissue (or adhesions). Symptoms results from the chronic inflammation that irritates and stresses out involved nerves in the area. Chronic trigger points result in predictable patterns of stiffness, pain, numbness and tingling. Symptoms can even mimic serious conditions, e.g. disc herniation, sciatica, pinched nerves, chest pain, and migraines.
Nimmo addresses trigger points (or knots) directly with gentle, but firm pressure. The primary goal being pain relief. Secondary goals include the break up of adhesions, restoring proper blood flow, reducing inflammation, and restoring proper nerve flow.
Dr. Peters has more than 20 years of experience working with trigger points and connective tissue (fascia). He has observed over the years that approximately 80% of his clients see him with symptoms directly related to trigger points and/or a fascial problem which have gone undiagnosed/treated by other health practitioners. How they all got there is a different story! Trigger points and fascial problems can be the result of stress. For example, they can occur as a result of structural problems, “trauma”, physical stress, poor posture, and/or nerve and spine conditions (e.g vertebral subluxations and joint misalignments).
If you have said or heard someone say the following, then its probably related to a Trigger Point or Fascial Problem:
“Growing pains”
“I pulled something”
“I have a catch”
“I got a Charlie Horse”
“I got a crick in my neck”
“It cramps while I ______”
“It hurts when I _______”
“It tingles”
“It goes numb”
“Muscle is an orphan organ. No medical specialty claims it. As a consequence, no medical speciality is concerned promoting funded research into the muscular causes of pain, and medical students and physical therapists rarely receive adequate primary training in how to recognize and treat myofascial trigger points.”
— David G. Simons, MD pioneer in myofascial pain and trigger points
