Services
Chiropractic Manipulation
Manual and instrument-assisted joint mobilization techniques address spinal fixations causing pain and restricted movement. Our doctors employ diversified, activator, and drop-table methods to restore proper vertebral alignment and nervous system function. Treatment plans integrate soft tissue therapy and rehabilitative exercises for lasting results.
Class IV Laser Therapy
High-intensity laser treatments stimulate cellular repair mechanisms in damaged spinal tissues. This non-thermal therapy reduces inflammation, enhances circulation, and accelerates healing for conditions like disc injuries and nerve impingements. Each 5-10 minute session delivers targeted energy to promote natural tissue regeneration without pharmaceuticals.
Spinal Decompression
Computer-controlled traction therapy creates negative intradiscal pressure to reposition herniated material and relieve nerve compression. This non-surgical treatment addresses disc bulges and degenerative changes through precise spinal distraction protocols combined with supportive chiropractic care for structural rehabilitation.
Sciatica Relief
Integrated approach combining spinal adjustments, decompression, and laser therapy targets the root causes of sciatic nerve pain. We address disc pathology, spinal stenosis, and piriformis syndrome through mechanical correction and inflammation reduction to restore pain-free mobility and lower extremity function.
Degenerative Disc Disease Management
Comprehensive care plan addresses age-related disc deterioration through mechanical stabilization and tissue regeneration protocols. Our non-invasive interventions focus on maintaining disc hydration, improving spinal mechanics, and preventing further degenerative changes through targeted chiropractic interventions and rehabilitative strategies.

Questions
What conditions do you treat?
We specialize in treating disc herniations, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and facet joint arthritis using non-invasive chiropractic techniques.
How does Class IV laser therapy work?
Our FDA-cleared laser system uses specific wavelengths to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing in damaged spinal tissues during 5-10 minute sessions.
Is spinal decompression safe?
Yes, our computer-controlled decompression system gently creates negative disc pressure to reposition herniated material while maintaining spinal stability throughout treatment.
Do you accept insurance?
We provide superbills for patients to submit to insurance carriers, though we don't directly bill insurers. Many PPO plans offer out-of-network chiropractic benefits.
How many treatments are needed?
Most patients experience improvement within 3-5 sessions. Treatment plans typically range from 12-24 visits depending on condition severity and individual response.
