Some problems need a joint to move. Others need a tight muscle, irritated tissue, training pattern, or old injury addressed. Dr. Andrew Allen evaluates the whole picture and uses the treatment that fits what he finds.
You do not need to diagnose yourself before scheduling. These pages explain each service, what it feels like, and when Dr. Allen may use it.
Targeted joint care for restricted movement, stiffness, and pain involving the spine and surrounding joints.
Explore adjustments →Hands-on treatment for muscle tension, connective-tissue restriction, lingering strains, and movement that feels bound up.
Explore soft tissue care →A targeted option for painful trigger points, stubborn muscle guarding, spasms, and limited range of motion.
Explore dry needling →Decompression-based soft tissue care for overworked muscles, tight areas, recovery, and mobility limitations.
Explore cupping →Evaluation and treatment built around the demands of lifting, running, cycling, CrossFit, skiing, and active Colorado life.
Explore athlete care →Care for whiplash, headaches, back pain, muscle strains, and symptoms that can appear after a collision.
Explore accident care →Dr. Allen looks at how you bend, rotate, walk, load, and compensate so the plan is based on what your body is doing, not only where it hurts.
A restricted joint, irritated muscle, old strain, and nerve-related symptom are not the same problem. Your care may use one service or a thoughtful combination.
Progress is measured against the movement or activity you came in to restore, whether that is sleeping, working, lifting, running, or simply getting through the day.
Our condition pages explain how common pain patterns show up, what may be driving them, and how Lakeside evaluates them.
Your first visit includes a focused history, movement and orthopedic assessment, a plain-English explanation, and treatment when clinically appropriate.
