Products and services

• Chiropractic Adjustments Spinal manipulation and alignment treatments that address the root cause of discomfort, restore natural alignment, and promote healing, taking into account family history, work, stress level, lifestyle, environment, diet, and exercise habits. Targeted at patients with back pain, neck pain, headaches, and general musculoskeletal issues.
• Spinal Decompression (DRX9000) Non-surgical spinal decompression using the FDA-approved DRX9000 motorized traction system developed by Excite Medical. Stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves, moving oxygen, water, and nutrient-rich fluids to promote healing. Indicated for herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and chronic back pain.
• Physical Therapy Physiotherapy focused on strengthening muscles around proper osseous architecture to improve function, reduce need for future care, and prevent relapse. Includes pain management, improved mobility, and recovery from injury or trauma.
• Electrical Muscle Stimulation Therapy (EMS) FDA-certified therapy delivering low-level electrical shock through electrodes to muscles, mimicking central nervous system signals to cause muscle contraction. Helps build strength in atrophied muscles, decreases muscle spasms, and increases local blood circulation for enhanced healing.
• Sports / Athlete Chiropractic Care Specialized chiropractic treatment for athletes of all levels — professional, amateur, and recreational. Focuses on injury prevention, performance enhancement, faster recovery, and treatment of sports-related injuries across multiple sports including baseball, basketball, boxing, cycling, football, golf, hockey, lacrosse, MMA, rugby, running, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, volleyball, and weightlifting.
• Pediatric Chiropractic Treatment Gentle chiropractic care for infants and children focusing on spinal alignment and nervous system function during critical developmental stages. Addresses common pediatric issues including colic, ear infections, reflux, sleep problems, and difficulty latching.
• Chiropractic and Pregnancy Care Prenatal chiropractic treatment designed to accommodate the physical changes during pregnancy, helping maintain pelvic balance and alleviate back pain while supporting overall maternal comfort.
• Corrective Exercises (Self-Care Video Library) Therapeutic and corrective exercise programs teaching patients special 'blueprint' exercises to strengthen and correct body irregularities. Includes a 21-video instructional library with exercises such as Dead Bugs, Bird Dogs, Reverse Snow Angels, and Prone Superman for home practice.
• Dynamic Running Exercise Routines Science-backed dynamic warm-up and running exercise routines designed to help runners train more effectively, prevent injuries, and reduce recovery times. Includes pre-run warm-up protocols and post-run recovery mobility routines.
• Nutritional Health Plans Vitamin and mineral supplementation recommendations based on the recognition that over-cultivated soil, GMOs, and preserved foods may lead to nutritional deficiencies affecting health.
• Chiropractic and Asthma Treatment Chiropractic treatments for asthma sufferers, including children, focusing on the relationship between spinal alignment and respiratory function.
• Meditation Workshops Mindfulness and meditation workshops held every 6 weeks at the clinic for patients and guests. Combines physical, chemical, and emotional wellness approaches. Includes techniques for concentration meditation and mindfulness meditation for stress reduction, blood pressure management, and pain control.

• Event Screenings Public health education events and health screenings to educate the community about benefits of chiropractic care and total body health.
