Chiropractic Adjustment
Our chiropractic adjustments restore joint mobility and nervous system function through precise manual techniques. This treatment addresses misalignments caused by injury, poor posture, or repetitive stress, helping reduce pain and improve overall body mechanics. Patients receive customized adjustment plans based on comprehensive evaluations of their spinal health and lifestyle factors.
Prenatal Care
Specialized prenatal chiropractic care helps expecting mothers manage physical changes during pregnancy. Using the Webster Technique, we alleviate discomfort, improve pelvic alignment, and support optimal fetal positioning. Postpartum rehabilitation focuses on restoring core strength and addressing musculoskeletal imbalances from childbirth through gentle, safe adjustments.
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy programs combine therapeutic exercises with advanced techniques like Graston myofascial therapy and McKenzie rehabilitation. This approach accelerates recovery from injuries, improves mobility, and prevents future issues by addressing muscle imbalances and movement patterns. Treatment plans adapt to individual progress and functional goals.
Acupuncture
Certified acupuncture treatments stimulate the body's natural healing processes by targeting specific meridians. This service addresses chronic pain, stress, and systemic imbalances while complementing chiropractic care. Sessions follow evidence-based protocols for conditions ranging from migraines to sports injuries, integrating seamlessly with other therapeutic modalities.
Functional Rehabilitation
Functional rehabilitation restores optimal movement patterns through targeted exercises and movement analysis. We address postural dysfunctions, sports-related injuries, and work-induced strains using DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization) principles. This service emphasizes neuromuscular re-education to improve coordination, strength, and injury prevention for active lifestyles.

Questions
Is chiropractic adjustment painful?
Adjustments should not be painful. You may feel tension before treatment, but the quick force applied typically causes only temporary popping sounds and minor post-treatment soreness.
Do I need ongoing chiropractic visits?
Treatment frequency depends on your condition's duration and overall health. While adjustments restore joint movement, long-term wellness requires your active participation through prescribed exercises and lifestyle changes.
Does insurance cover chiropractic care?
We verify coverage with your insurance provider beforehand. Most plans include chiropractic benefits, though specifics vary by policy. Contact our office for detailed verification.
Can pregnant women receive chiropractic care?
Yes. Prenatal adjustments safely address spinal imbalances during pregnancy, potentially easing discomfort and improving delivery outcomes. Postpartum care focuses on restoring pre-pregnancy musculoskeletal function.
What conditions do you treat?
We treat musculoskeletal issues from sports injuries, work strain, or daily stressors. Specialties include prenatal care, pediatric adjustments, and chronic pain management through integrated chiropractic, physiotherapy, and acupuncture approaches.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your initial appointment includes a comprehensive consultation, physical examination, and likely treatment. Allow one hour for health history review, posture analysis, and neurological assessments that inform your personalized care plan.

Dr. Steinys has been my chiropractor since 2009. She has helped me recover from several neck, low back, and hip injuries. Her depth of knowledge and treatment techniques make for a well-rounded approach. I couldn't be more pleased with my experience and I highly recommend Dr. Steinys.

I started seeing Dr. Steiny a few months ago during a very stressful time and it was the best decision I could have made! After consistent sessions my nervous system has completely calmed down and I no longer feel extreme tension in my neck and shoulders. I recommend her 10/10 and am so happy I found her!

Report
Dr. Steinys is the BEST! I had leg pain from an injury that happened years ago and the pain would come and go. However, during my 3rd trimester of my most recent pregnancy it got to the point where it hurt to walk. Dr. Steinys fixed me right up. I felt relief after the first visit. By the 3rd-4th the pain was completely gone and hasn't come back ever since. She also did adjustments starting at 31 weeks to help with my delivery.
We did accupuncture, alignment, and a prenatal massage at 39 weeks and not even 15 minutes after leaving her office I started having contractions. The pain was mild but contractions were irregular, walked into the hospital to find out I was already 7cm dilated. With my first pregnancy I had to get induced and had my baby after my due date. Visit her, your body will thank you!
