Services
Chiropractic Adjustment
Chiropractic adjustments correct spinal misalignments to relieve pain and improve nervous system function. Our manual techniques enhance joint mobility while reducing nerve irritation. Patients experience decreased inflammation and improved range of motion through targeted spinal manipulation.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy uses light energy to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation. This non-invasive treatment accelerates healing for soft tissue injuries and chronic pain conditions. Sessions typically last 15-30 minutes with no discomfort during treatment.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy increases blood circulation and relieves muscle tension through controlled suction. This technique loosens tight muscles while promoting lymphatic drainage. Patients report reduced pain in back, neck, and shoulder regions after treatment sessions.
Orthotics
Custom orthotics provide personalized foot support to correct biomechanical imbalances. These shoe inserts alleviate plantar fasciitis, arch pain, and heel discomfort. Properly fitted orthotics improve overall posture and reduce stress on lower extremities.
Sports Chiropractic
Sports chiropractic enhances athletic performance through injury prevention and recovery techniques. Treatments improve joint flexibility while reducing muscle stiffness. Athletes benefit from faster recovery times and enhanced physical conditioning through regular adjustments.

I've been coming to convergent Therapies for over a year now and Dr. Chau is truly one of the very best chiropractors I've ever been to! I'm an Army Veteran and am very rough on my body but somehow Dr. Chau can get me adjusted and feeling great again! (Torn rotator cuffs, torn biceps, compressed discs, chronic migraines.just to name a few) At first I was apprehensive about him working on my jaw muscles (inside my mouth) but my chronic migraines have greatly reduced!
Well worth the investment! Entire staff are always friendly and are very accommodating to my ever changing work schedule! (Thank you Goldie & Kim) Dr. Chau takes the time to help me understand my body and why I'm in pain and solutions! (Not always what I want to hear but they work) Thank you!

I have a high stress job and often suffer from headaches and neck pain. Luther is beyond AMAZING. He is extremely knowledgeable, caring, and efficient. The staff is lovely and friendly every time I go there. I have had spinal cord surgery long before meeting Luther and was terrified to see him. He is an essential part of my overall wellness and I can't recommend him enough.

I have a hard time trusting chiropractors, so I'm grateful to have found Dr. Chau and his entire staff. I was rear-ended the first time 8 years ago, damaging my C6/7. I found an acceptable "new normal" with chiropractic and massage care as a preventative. Almost 3 years ago, I was rear-ended again. I had moved to Gig Harbor and don't know what I would have done if I hadn't found Convergent Therapies, Dr. Chau, and his team.
With my anxiety about finding the right chiropractor for me, I was relieved to find a team I could trust. They helped me heal again with their honest, direct style and I now can live with my new new normal.
