Treatment Approach
Dr. Gilliard strongly believes in the ability to stay active as a key element to functional well-being. Finding and treating the source of a patient's complaint, rather than a single painful spot, allows him to help patients stay active in whatever capacity they desire.
He believes in working with patients to achieve their goals, and combines a variety of treatment approaches including manual therapy, acupuncture, modalities, and rehabilitative exercises to impart evidence-based treatments.
Golf Performance & Chiropractic
Dr. Gilliard has a special interest in golf, seeking additional expertise in this field by getting Certified with the Titleist Performance Institute. This gives him a better understanding of swing biomechanics, common injury patterns, and how physical limitations result in changes in swing mechanics.
"Every golfer has a unique swing — there is no one 'right' way to swing the club! But there is one efficient way for each golfer to swing the club that is unique to them, based on their physical abilities."
By improving the function of each golfer's body through decreasing pain, increasing mobility, and optimizing movement patterns, Dr. Gilliard helps improve your golf game alongside your overall health.
