About Align Family Chiropractic CO

At Align Family Chiropractic, we believe the body works best when it’s supported, balanced, and allowed to heal naturally. Our approach to chiropractic care goes beyond quick adjustments — we focus on understanding how your body moves, where tension is coming from, and what it needs to function at its best.

We take a personalized, whole-body approach to care, combining gentle chiropractic adjustments with movement-based and soft tissue support to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore long-term function. Whether you’re managing chronic discomfort, recovering from an injury, or simply wanting to move and feel better, our goal is to meet you where you are and support your body through every stage of life.

Our Approach to Care

No two bodies are the same — and your care shouldn’t be either. At Align, every visit is designed around your individual needs, movement patterns, and goals. At Align Family Chiropractic, we offer a range of chiropractic and muscle therapy services designed to reduce pain, improve movement, and support long-term health.

Our care focuses on:

Dr. McLaughlin is intentional about creating a welcoming, supportive environment where patients feel comfortable, respected, and genuinely cared for. Her care philosophy centers on alignment—not only of the spine, but of movement, habits, and overall well-being—so patients can feel strong, capable, and supported both inside and outside the office.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Tiffany maintains an active, wellness-focused lifestyle and believes in practicing what she teaches. She prioritizes regular physical training, balanced nutrition, and recovery as essential components of long-term health, while also enjoying hiking, camping, discovering new restaurants, and tackling hands-on projects at home. By integrating these principles into her own life, Dr. McLaughlin demonstrates that wellness is not just a recommendation—it’s a daily practice.

Service Details

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is centered around the idea that the body is a self-healing organism, capable of healing itself as long as its vital systems are functioning properly. When the body experiences injury, it has an innate ability to heal—just like when you cut your finger and it heals on its own. This healing power comes from the life force within you, which is directed and controlled by your nervous system.

The nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, is the master system of the body. It governs every function and aspect of your health, from how you move to how you feel. As long as there is clear communication between the brain and body, healing and proper function can occur. But when there’s interference in this connection, it can disrupt the body's ability to function and heal effectively.

This interference is often caused by subluxations—misalignments in the spine that can pinch or irritate nerves, disrupting the flow of nerve signals. Just like a pinched water hose can stop water from flowing, a pinched nerve can prevent your body from receiving the signals it needs to maintain health. Subluxations can affect not only physical health but also mental and emotional wellbeing, contributing to conditions like anxiety, depression, and stress.

As chiropractors, our job is to locate and correct these subluxations, restoring proper nerve flow and allowing the body to function optimally. To achieve spinal alignment and restore health, I use various techniques, including Diversified, Thompson, and Activator methods. Each technique is tailored to the patient’s needs, with the goal of realigning the spine and relieving nerve interference, ultimately supporting overall health and wellbeing.

Research has shown that, to see meaningful improvements, treatments up to 6-12 weeks may be necessary, depending on the individual’s condition and response to care. These treatments help maintain spinal alignment, restore nervous system function, and foster long-term healing.

Muscle Therapies

At Align Family Chiropractic, we use targeted muscle therapies to address pain, stiffness, and movement restrictions at their source. Muscle dysfunction often contributes to joint pain, limited range of motion, and recurring injuries — which is why these therapies are commonly combined with chiropractic adjustments for more complete, longer-lasting results.

Dry Needling
Dry needling targets tight muscle bands and trigger points using ultra-thin, sterile needles to reduce pain and restore normal muscle function. Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and focuses on balancing energy pathways, dry needling is based in western anatomy and neuroscience and is used specifically to treat musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions. By improving blood flow, calming irritated nerves, and releasing muscle tension, dry needling can help improve range of motion, strength, and overall movement. It is commonly used for chronic muscle pain, headaches, post-injury stiffness, and conditions that have not responded to stretching or massage alone.

Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound is a non-invasive therapy that uses high-frequency sound waves to deliver deep heat into injured or irritated soft tissues. This deep heating effect increases circulation, reduces inflammation, and stimulates tissue repair at the cellular level. Therapeutic ultrasound is often used to treat muscle strains, ligament sprains, tendonitis, bursitis, and chronic soft tissue injuries. Common treatment areas include the neck, shoulders, back, hips, elbows, wrists, knees, ankles, and feet, helping improve mobility, decrease pain, and support faster healing.

Heated Muscle Scraping
Heated muscle scraping is a specialized soft tissue therapy that combines therapeutic heat with controlled scraping techniques to release adhesions and restore normal tissue movement. The heat helps relax tight muscles while the scraping technique improves blood flow and breaks down scar tissue. This therapy is commonly used for chronic muscle tightness, sports injuries, and repetitive strain injuries. Treatment areas often include the neck, shoulders, upper and lower back, hips, thighs, calves, arms, and forearms, helping improve flexibility, reduce pain, and restore proper movement patterns.

Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy uses gentle suction to lift the skin and underlying tissues, increasing circulation and reducing muscle and fascial tension. This technique helps draw oxygen-rich blood to tight or painful areas while encouraging relaxation of the nervous system. Cupping is commonly used to treat muscle tightness, back and neck pain, inflammation, and post-exercise soreness. Typical treatment areas include the neck, shoulders, back, hips, glutes, thighs, and calves, helping improve mobility, relieve pain, and support recovery.

Each muscle therapy is safe, non-invasive, and tailored to your specific needs. Whether you’re managing pain, recovering from an injury, or working to improve mobility and strength, our muscle therapy services are designed to help you move better, feel stronger, and stay active. Every treatment will also include home care recommendations including exercises, stretches and more to ensure you are equipped with what you need for total wellness.

Improve Nervous System Health

Webster Technique

How can chiropractic affect baby positioning and birth outcome? By improving the mother’s pelvic balance. With Webster technique, we are NOT treating the baby, but the mother. When mom’s pelvis is out of alignment, there is increased tension and stress on the ligaments connecting the pelvis to the uterus resulting in distortion to the baby’s environment. This would be much like having tight bedsheets that restrict movement and as you can imagine, this might be quite uncomfortable.

Webster technique is a specific analysis and adjustment to the pelvic bones. The chiropractic adjustment to the pelvis releases tension from the ligaments and uterus, allowing the baby to move more freely and assume the best possible position throughout pregnancy.

For every stage of pregnancy, this adjustment reduces interference to the nervous system—a vital benefit to improve physiology for both mom and her baby. When a mother’s physiological function is at its best, her baby’s development is optimized. Balancing the pelvic bones, muscles, and ligaments and improving normal physiology sets the stage for a natural birth.

Regular chiropractic care and Webster technique throughout the gestational period may allow for a safer and easier birth.

Craniosacral & Fascial Release Techniques

Infant Care

How can craniosacral therapy benefit infants? By supporting their nervous system, fascia, and overall functional movement. With craniosacral therapy, we are not forcing or manipulating the baby; rather, we are creating an environment for the baby to move freely and comfortably. When infants experience conditions such as torticollis, plagiocephaly, hypertonic muscle tone, or feeding difficulties, tension in the fascia and soft tissues can restrict natural movement and integration of reflexes—much like tight sheets that limit freedom of motion.

Craniosacral therapy uses gentle, hands-on techniques to release tension in the craniosacral system and surrounding fascia. By encouraging natural reflexes and improving functional movement, this therapy helps infants express their bodies fully, promoting comfort, relaxation, and optimal development.

When combined with supportive techniques, craniosacral therapy can improve feeding, sleep, and overall well-being while laying a foundation for healthy movement patterns as the baby grows. Incorporating these techniques into care helps facilitate deeper healing and positive outcomes, supporting both the baby and the family in their journey toward comfort and wellness.
