Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments use controlled spinal manipulation to restore joint mobility and alleviate pain caused by tissue injuries. This treatment addresses issues from improper lifting, repetitive stress, or poor posture by reducing inflammation and muscle tightness. Patients often experience immediate relief with minimal soreness that resolves within 48 hours.
Sports Chiropractic
Specialized sports chiropractic services help athletes recover from injuries and enhance performance. We treat patients from young gymnasts to professional triathletes, offering injury prevention workshops and ergonomic consulting for local sports organizations and fitness facilities.
Family Wellness
Our family wellness programs focus on lifelong spinal health for all ages. Services include pediatric chiropractic care, Backpack Safety America initiatives, and educational programs for parents about natural healthcare options for children and special needs patients.
Massage Therapy
Deep tissue massage targets chronic muscle tension in areas like the neck, back, and shoulders. Our licensed therapist Sue Newkirk uses intense pressure techniques to realign muscle fibers and connective tissues, benefiting athletes, elderly patients, and children.
Pre-Paid Packages
Discounted pre-paid packages make chiropractic care affordable for families. Options include 12, 25, or 50 visit plans with savings up to $18 per visit, plus flexible HSA/FSA payment options and itemized statements for insurance reimbursement.

Questions
Is chiropractic care affordable without insurance?
Our pre-paid packages start at $58 per adjustment, with discounts up to $18 per visit. We accept HSA/FSA payments and provide itemized statements for potential insurance reimbursement.

We offer 18 weekly walk-in hours with no waiting, including early morning (7:30am) and evening (up to 5:45pm) appointments. Regular patients can be seen immediately during designated walk-in times.
Why do I need ongoing chiropractic visits?
Like fitness training, chiropractic care requires repetition to maintain spinal alignment. Regular adjustments prevent recurring pain and build long-term musculoskeletal strength, similar to maintaining healthy lifestyle habits.

Most patients report minimal discomfort, often describing mild soreness similar to starting a new exercise program. Our team accommodates nervous patients with slower adjustments or distraction techniques to ensure comfort.
