Straightforward Chiropractic

A chiropractic adjustment is a gentle, targeted movement applied to specific joints in your spine or other areas to restore normal motion and alignment. By improving how these joints move, adjustments help reduce irritation to the surrounding muscles and nerves so your body can function and heal more naturally.

Key benefits:
• Reduces neck, mid‑back, and low back pain
• Decreases stiffness and improves range of motion
• Helps relieve nerve‑related symptoms like tingling or radiating pain
• Supports better posture and spinal alignment
• Can improve overall comfort, sleep, and daily function

Spinal Decpompression

Spinal decompression provides a non-surgical pathway to relief for patients suffering from disc-related issues and chronic nerve compression. By gently stretching the spine, this therapy creates negative pressure within the discs to promote natural healing.

 

Key benefits:
• Reduces nerve pressure for rapid pain relief
• Increases nutrient flow to accelerate disc healing
• Improves mobility and physical function

EMS / TENS

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) and TENS therapy use gentle electrical currents to help reduce pain and support healing. EMS targets the muscles to improve circulation, decrease tension, and aid recovery after injury or overuse. TENS focuses on the nerves, helping to block pain signals and provide drug‑free relief for both acute and chronic pain.

Key benefits:
• Reduces muscle tension and spasms
• Improves blood flow to support healing
• Helps manage acute and chronic pain without medication
• Can be used alongside chiropractic care for better overall results

Modern Acupuncture & Dry Needling

Acupuncture and dry needling use very thin, sterile needles to target specific points in muscles and connective tissue. These treatments help release tight areas, calm irritated nerves, and improve circulation so your body can heal more efficiently and move with less pain.

Key benefits:
• Reduces muscle tension and trigger points 
• Decreases pain from both new and long‑standing injuries 
• Improves blood flow to support natural healing 
• Helps calm the nervous system and reduce stress 
• Works well alongside chiropractic care and exercise

Conditions We Treat

[1]

Low Back Pain

Low back pain is typically best treated conservatively with an emphasis on active care. There is a wealth of evidence that supports conservative treatments like spinal manipulative therapy as a first-line treatment.

[2]

Neck Pain

Neck pain can come from many sources, including postural syndrome or bulging discs. Chiropractic remains one of the safest prescription treatments around to get your pain under control fast.

[3]

Upper Back Pain

Upper and mid back pain often goes hand in hand with neck and shoulder problems. We successfully treat causes including chronic postural syndrome, bulging discs, scoliosis, and rib pain.

[4]

Headaches

With many distinct types of headache, an exam can shed light on which type we can help. Triggers like the upper neck and scalp often respond exceptionally well to our care.

[5]

Shoulder Pain

Whether from injury or chronic tendinopathy, shoulder pain often relates to neck issues. Most cases respond well to passive and active treatments like soft tissue work and exercises.

[6]

Hip Pain

Almost as common as low back pain, hip issues can stem from the joint itself, the low back, or muscle imbalances. Conservative chiropractic care typically yields great results.

[7]

Sciatica & Pinched Nerve

Pain radiating down the leg is usually related to spine issues but can originate in the hip. A detailed exam helps discern the best treatment for these common conditions.

[8]

Arm & Hand Pain

Often originating from the neck or shoulder, arm and hand pain—including carpal tunnel—should be treated conservatively first for standard of care results.

[9]

Leg & Foot Pain

From plantar fasciitis to achilles tendinosis, common leg and foot issues respond well to active care. We use specialized therapies to provide effective pain relief.

[10]

Specialized Care

We treat TMJ, pregnancy-related MSK changes, and myofascial pain syndrome with dry-needling and manual therapy. We are also the best place to start for scoliosis care.
