Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments realign spinal vertebrae to restore nervous system function and alleviate pain. This non-invasive treatment addresses back/neck pain, sciatica, and headaches through manual manipulation techniques. Patients experience improved mobility and long-term relief from musculoskeletal disorders.
DOT Physicals
Certified Department of Transportation physical examinations ensure commercial drivers meet federal health requirements. Our FMCSA-certified examiners perform comprehensive assessments including vision, hearing, and cardiovascular evaluations. This service maintains compliance for truckers and transportation professionals.
Drug Testing
We provide DOT-compliant and non-DOT drug testing services including rapid tests, court-ordered screenings, and pre-employment assessments. Our certified lab processes urine, hair, and saliva samples with strict chain-of-custody protocols. Results meet federal regulatory standards for workplace safety programs.
Traction Therapy
Traction therapy gently stretches spinal structures to relieve pressure on discs and nerves. This treatment addresses herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and chronic back pain. Patients benefit from reduced nerve compression and improved spinal alignment through controlled mechanical traction.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Targeted soft tissue therapy addresses muscle tension, trigger points, and connective tissue restrictions. Techniques include myofascial release and active release therapy to improve circulation and mobility. This treatment complements adjustments for comprehensive musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
