Chiropractic Care

Our core chiropractic services focus on spinal alignment and nervous system optimization through manual adjustments. We treat musculoskeletal conditions using evidence-based techniques that improve mobility and reduce pain without pharmaceuticals. Each treatment plan incorporates postural analysis, lifestyle recommendations, and therapeutic exercises tailored to individual patient needs.

Auto Accident Injuries

Specialized care for post-accident recovery addresses whiplash and soft tissue injuries through comprehensive diagnostic imaging and targeted adjustments. We coordinate directly with insurance providers while implementing therapeutic modalities like ultrasound and muscle stimulation to accelerate healing and restore normal function.

Work Related Injuries

We treat repetitive stress injuries and workplace musculoskeletal conditions through ergonomic assessments combined with chiropractic adjustments. Our approach reduces inflammation, improves range of motion, and prevents chronic pain development while maintaining detailed documentation for workers' compensation claims.

Physiotherapy

Complementary physiotherapy services include low-level laser therapy, interferential stimulation, and traction treatments that enhance chiropractic adjustments. These modalities improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and accelerate tissue healing for both acute injuries and chronic conditions.

Nutrition Counseling

Personalized nutrition plans support musculoskeletal health and overall wellness through anti-inflammatory dietary strategies. We provide evidence-based supplementation recommendations and lifestyle modifications that complement chiropractic care for optimal healing outcomes.

Dr Stites is amazing! My wife & I have gone to him for many years. We even brought in our son after he was born to be adjusted & we still take him back for periodic visits. He's a great guy & is excellent at what he does!

Dr. Stites saved my life and I can't thank him enough. I was having terrible migraines and couldn't figure out why. He was able to find my cause quickly and explained in detail what was wrong (problem with my atlas and axis vertebrae) and talked me through the process. This made me very comfortable with what he was going to do and when he fixed my neck I felt instantly better. I still go in because the atlas and axis fall back into the bad position and for my random misalignments.

He is so kind and caring, I always feel welcomed. I have been squeezed in the same day when I have had bad migraine days. I can not possibly express how grateful I am for how many times he has helped me feel better!
