We want our patients to have healthy lives and to move pain-free, so that they can feel their best. We offer corrective exercise counseling, lifestyle advice and counseling, and most recently we have added acupuncture services for pain relief.
• Chiropractic Adjustments
  The sciatic nerve branches out from the lumbar portion of the spine through the hips and extends down to the feet. When the vertebrae in the spine are out of alignment, one or more nerve branches are compressed and cause irritation and inflammation. Chiropractic adjustments work to properly align the spine by removing the sciatic nerve's compression. In some cases, sciatica is caused by a herniated or slipped disk or narrowing of the spine. Typically, sciatica symptoms will only impact one side of the body.
• Spinal Adjustments
  Our office provides spinal correction with gentle chiropractic techniques. Our correction methods are safe, comfortable, and effective in providing spinal adjustments. Adjustments, massage therapy, trigger point therapy, and spine decompression are used to help you develop a stronger, healthier back. Not only do these treatments provide you with better posture and pain relief, but they also help your other muscles to recover from an injury and feel their best.

Back pain, neck pain, headaches/migraines, athletic injuries, auto accidents, herniated discs, sciatica, and arthritis are just a few of the many conditions we treat with chiropractic care.

• Subluxation
  What truly differentiates doctors of chiropractic from any other healthcare professionals is the fact that chiropractors are the only professionals who are trained to diagnose and treat what are called spinal subluxations. The word 'subluxation' comes from the Latin words meaning 'to dislocate' (luxare) and 'somewhat or slightly' (sub). So the term 'vertebral subluxation' literally means a slight dislocation (misalignment) of the bones in the spine. Although this term was adequate in the 1800s when much was still misunderstood about the human body, today the word 'subluxation' has changed in meaning to capture the complex of neurological, structural, and functional changes that occur when a bone is 'out of place.' For this reason chiropractors usually refer to subluxations of the spine as the "Vertebral Subluxation Complex", or "VSC" for short.
• Manipulation Therapy
  Manual manipulation of the spine and other joints in the body have been around for a long time.
