Services
Disc Decompression
Non-surgical disc decompression therapy alleviates back and neck pain by gently stretching the spine to relieve pressure on intervertebral discs. This technique promotes healing and reduces nerve compression for chronic pain sufferers.
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets muscle trigger points to reduce inflammation and pain. This technique improves mobility and accelerates recovery for patients with sports injuries, migraines, and musculoskeletal conditions through precise needle insertion.
Pregnancy Care
Specialized prenatal adjustments address posture changes and pelvic alignment during pregnancy. This care reduces back pain, improves comfort, and supports optimal fetal positioning for expecting mothers throughout all trimesters.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy uses targeted light energy to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation. This non-invasive treatment accelerates healing for soft tissue injuries, joint pain, and post-surgical recovery without medication.
Nutrition Counseling
Personalized nutrition plans based on blood work analysis optimize health outcomes. This service addresses dietary deficiencies, supports weight management, and enhances overall wellness through evidence-based nutritional strategies.

Dr. Impastato is an amazing person and one of the best chiropractor I came across. He listens carefully about the problem and will fix the main cause of the problem. I am periodically dealing with cervical, neck and arm pain which comes and go. His methods are very beneficial especially he combines adjustments, needle therapy and other required therapy. Thank you

Came to Dr. Impastato with neck and head pain and tightness. He showed me xrays indicating compression and arthritis in my vertebrae. He has me on a plan that has helped me tremendously. Very professional and his staff is friendly and courteous. Recommend him highly to anyone in pain.

I have been receiving treatment from Dr. Impastato for sciatic back pain on and off for years. If I push myself too hard and I have a flare up, Ricco can help me recover and get back in the game. His "bedside" manner is easy going, and caring. I never feel rushed when seeing him. Even if the clinic is busy. The clinic's staff is top notch! Friendly and efficient. Easy to communicate with and clear on their process. Their location is convenient to access and has dedicated parking. I recommend this clinic.

After seeing a doctor, taking various medications, doing physical therapy exercises and using an inversion table, I still wasn't able to completely get my pain under control. Impastato Chiropractic finally gave me the relief I had spent months seeking. The various therapies, particularly the spinal decompressions, made a huge difference. Super friendly staff!
