Comprehensive Care for Pain, Injuries, and Performance
The Black Diamond Method represents our unique, systematic approach to healthcare that addresses the whole body – not just your symptoms. Developed by Dr. Zach Higgins, this comprehensive methodology ensures we identify the true source of your pain, provide effective treatment, and equip you with the tools to maintain results long-term.
Our Four-Step Process
1
Find and Fix
Before treatment begins, we conduct thorough movement screenings and in-depth assessments to identify the root cause of your pain or dysfunction. This crucial diagnostic step ensures we’re addressing the source of your problem – not just masking symptoms.
Our Four-Step Process
- Comprehensive physical examination
- Movement pattern analysis
- Detailed health history review
- Specific orthopedic testing
- Neurological assessment when necessary
2
Restore and Recover
Once we’ve identified the underlying issues, we implement targeted therapies to relieve pain and restore proper function. Dr. Higgins draws from multiple therapeutic approaches to create a customized treatment plan.
Our restoration techniques include:
- Chiropractic Adjustment – Manual therapeutic intervention aimed at restoring joint functionality and addressing neuromusculoskeletal issues.
- Myofascial Release – Targeted manipulation and sustained pressure on myofascial tissue to alleviate restrictions and restore optimal function.
- Shockwave Therapy (RPW) – Uses acoustic waves to address musculoskeletal issues, foster tissue regeneration, and boost blood circulation.
- Muscle Scraping – Advanced manual therapy designed to address soft tissue restrictions with specialized instruments, effectively treating scar tissue and fascial restrictions.
- Cupping/Dynamic Cupping – Promotes vasodilation, increased blood flow, and localized inflammatory response to aid in muscle relaxation and tension relief.
- NormaTec Compression Therapy – State-of-the-art technology utilizing dynamic compression to enhance circulation and accelerate recovery post-exertion.

Strengthen and Stabilize
True healing goes beyond pain relief. To prevent recurrence and build resilience, we implement targeted rehabilitation strategies that address muscle imbalances and movement deficiencies.
Our stabilization approaches include:
- Blood Flow Restriction Therapy – Advanced technique that enhances strength gains while using lighter loads, reducing joint stress.
- Traction Therapy – Gentle decompression to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves.
- Stretching & Mobility Drills – Customized routines to improve range of motion and tissue flexibility.
- Corrective Exercises – Targeted movements to address specific weaknesses and imbalances.
- Weightlifting Form Correction – Expert guidance on proper lifting techniques to maximize potential and prevent injury.

Empower and Evolve
The final step in The Black Diamond Method is perhaps the most important – empowering you with knowledge and strategies for self-care. We believe that education is essential for long-term success.
What you’ll learn:
- Understanding your specific condition
- Self-treatment techniques for pain management
- Proper movement patterns for daily activities
- Preventative exercises to maintain results
- Warning signs that indicate when to seek care
