As a former professional dancer and athletic trainer, Dr. Butera has developed a results oriented practice which allows the patient to overcome injuries while continuing to train. Her theories of healing and coaching are a propelling force in today's active lifestyle. Through her philosophies of healing, Dr. Butera brings the elements of participation, process and continuity together based on the individual needs of each patient.

Pilates-Based Rehabilitation

Private Pilates-based Mat and Reformer classes are offered as a part of our Rehabilitation program. The Pilates method uses specialized machines to stretch and strengthen muscles, resulting in a sleek, statuesque posture and improved flexibility, endurance and coordination. Special emphasis is placed on training the whole body, coordinating the upper and lower musculature with the body's core center. The method is safe, yet effective for all levels of fitness and is designed to take the participant from the beginner to advanced status at their own pase. The benefits of Chiropractic with Pilates rehabilitation are powerful. While Chiropractic diagnoses and treats the weaknesses and misalignments of the spine, Pilates strengthens the adjacent muscles. The patient receives a more comprehensive treatment achieving a deeper and more permanent correction.

Extremity Adjustments

Dr. Butera addresses the spine as well as injuries to the upper and lower extremities. Hand, wrist, shoulder, hip, knee, foot and ankle problems, whether created from sports or job overuse syndromes are adjusted and rehabilitated through therapy and exercise. Preventive muscle re-education is introduced in order for the patient to resume participation in his activities without re-injury.
