A Personal Journey to Pain-Free Movement

Having navigated his own journey through sports injuries and chronic pain, Dr. Johnston intimately understands the physical and psychological challenges his patients face. This firsthand experience shaped his treatment philosophy: the most disabling aspect of pain is often not the physical sensation itself, but the loss of confidence and lack of guidance on how to restore normal movement patterns.

Comprehensive Treatment Approach

Dr. Johnston's integrated treatment plans combine multiple evidence-based modalities:

• Spinal and extremity manipulation to restore proper joint function
• Medical acupuncture for pain relief and tissue healing (certified practitioner)
• Specialized soft tissue therapy to address muscle tension and adhesions
• Personalized exercise programs tailored to your specific needs and goals
• Movement re-education to rebuild confidence and prevent re-injury
• Lifestyle modification strategies for long-term health maintenance
