Chiropractic Care
Our Gonstead technique provides precise spinal adjustments to correct subluxations and restore nerve function. This evidence-based approach addresses structural imbalances through detailed x-ray analysis and motion palpation. Patients experience relief from chronic pain while improving overall wellness through optimized nervous system communication.
Back Pain Relief
Specialized treatment for lumbar spine issues using gentle, targeted adjustments. We address disc injuries, sciatica, and chronic lower back pain through comprehensive evaluations that identify root causes rather than just treating symptoms. Our approach promotes long-term healing and mobility restoration.
Neck Pain Treatment
Expert care for cervical spine conditions including whiplash and pinched nerves. Utilizing the Gonstead method's precision, we realign vertebrae to relieve nerve pressure causing headaches and migraines. Treatment plans incorporate posture education to prevent recurring discomfort and maintain spinal health.
Pregnancy Care
Gentle spinal adjustments tailored for expectant mothers using specialized pregnancy tables. We address postural changes and pelvic imbalances that occur during pregnancy to reduce discomfort and support optimal fetal positioning. Care continues through delivery with modifications for each trimester's specific needs.
Sciatica Solutions
Targeted treatment for sciatic nerve compression using precise spinal adjustments. Our diagnostic process identifies exact vertebral misalignments causing leg pain, numbness, or tingling. By correcting these subluxations, we reduce inflammation and restore proper nerve transmission for lasting relief from sciatica symptoms.

Questions
What makes Gonstead chiropractic different from other techniques?
The Gonstead method uses precise x-ray analysis and motion palpation to identify specific spinal misalignments. Adjustments target only affected areas with minimal force, unlike generic 'one-size-fits-all' approaches that manipulate the entire spine.
Can chiropractic care help with conditions beyond back pain?
Yes! Patients report improvements in headaches, migraines, vertigo, carpal tunnel, and even digestive issues. Proper spinal alignment enhances nervous system communication, positively affecting various health conditions through improved nerve function.
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Absolutely. We use specialized pregnancy tables and gentle techniques to safely address postural changes and pelvic imbalances. Regular adjustments can help maintain comfort throughout pregnancy and potentially ease labor and delivery.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your initial consultation includes a comprehensive health history review, physical examination, and possible x-rays. Dr. Urban will explain findings and develop a personalized treatment plan, with adjustments typically beginning during the second visit.
How does sciatica treatment work?
We identify exact vertebral misalignments compressing sciatic nerve roots through detailed analysis. Targeted adjustments realign these vertebrae, reducing inflammation and restoring proper nerve transmission to alleviate leg pain and numbness.
Do you accept insurance?
While we don't directly bill insurance, we provide documentation for potential reimbursement. Many patients utilize flexible spending accounts or health savings accounts to cover chiropractic care expenses.
