Chiropractic Adjustments
Our Gonstead Method adjustments use precise spinal analysis to correct subluxations and restore nerve function. By combining X-ray imaging, thermography, and motion palpation, we deliver targeted corrections that alleviate pain and improve mobility. Patients benefit from customized treatment plans addressing chronic conditions, sports injuries, and general wellness without pharmaceutical intervention.
Sports Injury Care
Specialized treatment for sports-related injuries focuses on rapid recovery and performance optimization. Using hands-on adjustments and biomechanical analysis, we address golf injuries, ankle sprains, and repetitive strain conditions. Our approach reduces downtime by restoring joint function and preventing recurring issues through tailored rehabilitation strategies.
Pediatric Chiropractic
Gentle, age-appropriate care addresses spinal health in children, supporting developmental milestones and injury prevention. Our techniques safely correct postural imbalances from birth trauma or childhood falls while fostering nervous system development. Parents report improved sleep, digestion, and activity levels in young patients.
Spinal Analysis
Comprehensive assessment combines five diagnostic criteria: X-ray imaging, nervoscope thermography, static and motion palpation, and posture visualization. This multi-modal approach identifies subluxation complexes affecting nerve function, enabling precise adjustments that address root causes rather than masking symptoms.
Pain Management
Non-invasive treatment targets chronic pain sources through spinal realignment and nerve decompression. By correcting vertebral misalignments contributing to migraines, sciatica, and joint pain, we achieve lasting relief without medication dependency. Patients experience improved mobility and reduced inflammation through consistent, science-backed care.

Fixed me and my dad, embarrassed to say since he's twice my age! Ultimately it doesn't matter, young or old my back was is bad shape from years of bad lifting habits, etc. My father also had a bulged disc in his back. Happy to say we both are good as new. The gonstead method in which he uses is very specific and only applied to the individual, not a blanket adjustment. Great alternative to try before surgery. If he can't fix you he will tell you. Good luck!

The best diagnostic analysis I've had experienced. I will gladly return to regain mobility that I've lost from standing on my feet, lifting my arms and leaning over to shampoo clientsas a hairstylist for 37 years.

I was a bit worried about seeing a Chiropractor. I have dealt with back pain for years. It was effecting my body everywhere. Exercise was hard due to pain. My husband brought me to his guy. I guess he got tired of me fussing about my back. I was a bit scared. Well let me tell ya, I look forward to my visits now. Each visit makes me feel better and better. I will tell ya. if you are unsure about going. Just do it. I don't know what took me so long. i could have been pain free for years. Do yourself the favor. SO WORTH IT.
