  A journey from pain to long-term health.

Does chiropractic work? The proof is in our patients:

"I got tired of hearing I'd have to live with the pain - so I came here and got immediate relief."

We have many patients with lots of happy endings. We don't tell patients to live with pain. We tell them we can help.

Y
ou'll feel the difference our multidisciplinary approach makes in your life. While chiropractic doctors, acupuncturists, exercise and massage therapists each have their own place in the healing process; by bringing them together, we bring you a new level of health care. Our approach doesn't rely on surgery or prescription drugs (and their side-effects). It's ideal for relieving pain,  restoring movement, and triumphing over chronic conditions!
Y
ou'll benefit from the very latest treatment methods:
 

Soothing Adjustments - Our doctors have expertise in gentle adjustments. The depth of their knowledge enables them to treat a wide variety of pain problems, including many problems other chiropractors can not.

Massage Therapy - More than just a rubdown, our advanced massage is as therapeutic as it is invigorating. It increases blood flow to the problem area, reduces muscle tension, and even releases the body's own natural painkillers: endorphins. Also, because our massage therapists are licensed, they have the expertise to focus their efforts where your body needs them most. Sciatica? Migraines? Muscles spasms? Our professionals will customize their care to your unique condition.

Relaxing Ultrasound - This powerful therapy sends the warmth of low-frequency sound waves deep into your joints and muscles. Painful problems like injuries, strains, and inflammation are healed at their source.

Electronic Muscle Stimulation - By placing soft electrode patches on your skin's surface, our doctors can send healing current throughout the injured areas of your musculature. By controlling the location of the patches and the setting of the current, we achieve a variety of healing goals, including relaxing muscle spasms, pain control, and even the treatment of acute and chronic pain problems.

Flexion/Distraction - This low-force technique uses a table with a moveable low back section which enables the doctor to move the joints of the spine through all of their physiologic ranges of motion. These motions include: flexion, extension, lateral flexion, rotation, and circumduction. The table is used to treat a variety of conditions but is most noted for its use in the treatment of disc herniations and protrusions.

Acupuncture - This natural healing modality has been used around the world for over 5000 years. It is a gentle, effective means of relieving chronic and debilitating conditions, including chronic pain, headaches, PMS, insomnia, and most injuries.

Nutritional Counseling - Another feature of our practice that's vital for peak performance on the job and in the game. It includes a computerized health analysis and custom supplementation program, based on your personal needs and lifestyle.

Natural Pharmacy - In addition to the hands-on care you receive, we may recommend herbal or homeopathic supplements to complement your care and speed relief. These formulations have proven highly effective for thousands of patients with no toxic side-effects when used as recommended.
