Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments use the Gonstead technique to correct spinal misalignments, relieve nerve pressure, and restore proper function. This method ensures precise, gentle corrections for improved mobility and pain relief. Patients receive individualized care plans to address specific conditions like back pain, neck pain, and sciatica.
Gonstead Technique
The Gonstead technique involves detailed analysis of spinal mechanics using five criteria, including X-rays and motion palpation. This approach delivers targeted adjustments to stabilize the spine and enhance nervous system performance. Its ideal for chronic pain, postural imbalances, and injury recovery with a focus on long-term results.
Stabilizing Exercises
Customized stabilizing exercises strengthen core muscles and improve posture to support spinal health. These routines prevent recurring issues after adjustments and accelerate recovery from injuries. Patients learn techniques to maintain wellness independently, complementing their chiropractic care.

We offer complimentary 10-point spinal screenings to detect early signs of misalignment or degeneration. This service identifies potential issues before they cause pain, allowing proactive intervention. Screenings include posture analysis, range-of-motion tests, and nerve function assessments.
