ARPwave NeuroTherapy for Recovery, Mobility and Performance
ARPwave NeuroTherapy is designed to help Dr. Ford evaluate and retrain the neuromuscular patterns that influence how your body moves, produces force, and responds to physical stress.
ARPwave uses a proprietary direct-current waveform that can be paired with active or passive movement. Rather than focusing only on the area where symptoms are felt, Dr. Ford uses the system to examine patterns of muscle activation, coordination, and compensation throughout the movement chain. Treatment is then tailored to support more efficient neuromuscular communication, movement quality, blood flow, recovery, mobility, strength, and physical performance.
Assess
Evaluate how your muscles activate, coordinate, and respond to movement or load.
Activate
Pair targeted ARPwave current with active or passive clinician-guided movement.
Retrain
Practice more efficient movement patterns and progressively build capacity.
ARPwave is integrated into Dr. Ford’s broader clinical approach rather than offered as a one-size-fits-all solution. It may be combined with chiropractic care, soft-tissue therapies, therapeutic exercise, and movement education based on your examination and goals.

The DSPC Approach
Individualized Chiropractic and Performance Care
Performance isn’t just for professionals. It’s for anyone who refuses to be sidelined.
Dynamic Spine & Performance Center moves beyond the cookie-cutter clinic model. Your care is built around your condition, movement demands, lifestyle, and goals—not a standard package designed for everyone.
Depending on your needs, care may incorporate chiropractic adjustments, ARPwave Therapy, myofascial release, instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization (IASTM), dry needling, cupping, therapeutic exercise and movement education to help you return to the activities that matter to you.
- Individualized assessment and care planning
- Active, evidence-informed treatment strategies
- Care focused on function—not endless appointments
