Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic adjustments restore proper spinal alignment and nervous system function using multiple techniques tailored to individual needs. We employ diversified manual adjustments, activator methods, and Thompson terminal point techniques to address musculoskeletal imbalances. Each treatment plan includes postural analysis and recommendations for home care to enhance treatment effectiveness. Patients receive detailed explanations of their condition and progress throughout care.
Spinal Decompression
This non-surgical treatment uses computer-controlled traction to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves. The DTS decompression table creates negative disc pressure to help herniated discs retract and promote healing. Treatment protocols typically involve 20 sessions over six weeks combined with complementary therapies. Ideal for patients with chronic back pain who haven't found relief through traditional chiropractic methods.
Acupuncture
Licensed acupuncturist Dr. Lori Kirgis provides traditional Chinese medicine treatments to balance energy flow and alleviate pain. Fine needles stimulate specific points to improve circulation and trigger natural pain relief mechanisms. Effective for treating migraines, muscle pain, stress, and various systemic conditions while complementing chiropractic adjustments for enhanced wellness outcomes.
invisa-RED Laser
FDA-cleared laser technology targets fat reduction and body contouring through non-thermal light energy. Treatments stimulate cellular metabolism and lymphatic drainage to reduce inches and improve skin texture. Clinical studies show average 10+ inch loss over nine sessions without diet or exercise changes. Also effective for cellulite reduction and skin rejuvenation.
ChiroThin Program
Physician-supervised weight loss program combining natural supplements with nutritional counseling. Patients typically lose 20-35 pounds in six weeks through metabolic support and appetite suppression. Weekly progress monitoring includes body measurements and health assessments to ensure safe, sustainable results while maintaining muscle mass.
