Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our doctors perform precise spinal and extremity adjustments using hands or activator tools to correct alignment, improve joint function, and relieve pain from conditions like disc herniations and sciatica. This treatment enhances nervous system function, restores mobility, and supports the body's natural healing processes through evidence-based techniques tailored to each patient's history and needs.
Cold Laser Therapy
Non-invasive cold laser treatments use specific light wavelengths to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and accelerate tissue healing for conditions like arthritis, nerve impingements, and sports injuries. By stimulating cellular energy production, this therapy promotes faster recovery without heat or discomfort, making it ideal for sensitive patients seeking drug-free rehabilitation solutions.
Physical Therapy
Certified physical therapy programs combine targeted exercises, stretches, and movements to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility for post-injury recovery or chronic condition management. Our customized regimens integrate with chiropractic care to enhance functional outcomes, prevent re-injury, and support long-term musculoskeletal health through active patient participation.
Graston Technique
This specialized instrument-assisted myofascial release technique breaks down scar tissue and adhesions to restore muscle function, reduce pain, and improve range of motion for soft tissue injuries. By addressing restrictions in connective tissues, we help patients recover from repetitive strain injuries, tendonitis, and post-surgical scarring more effectively than traditional massage alone.
Spinalator Therapy
Intersegmental traction using the Spinalator table gently separates spinal segments to relieve disc pressure, increase mobility, and improve circulation to spinal structures. This relaxing therapy complements adjustments by preparing the spine for realignment, reducing stiffness, and promoting long-term disc health through controlled mechanical movement.

He's just a really cool guy who really knows his stuff. Several years ago, my wife and I made an unscheduled visit to his office one day while on vacation. He was more than accommodating and the treatment we received was superb! I highly recommend Dr. Ricci!

Loved my visit. He took the time to explain to me about the practice in general and about the spine and it's functions, etc. He also has an X-ray machine there where you can figure out if anything is out of alignment right there and then. Will be coming back!

If I could give him no stars I would, awful service and very rushed visits. Pain didn't seem to go away and just got increasingly worse, save your money.
