Neuropathy Treatment
Our neuropathy protocol combines sensory testing, digital imaging, and targeted exercises to address peripheral nerve damage in hands and feet. This comprehensive approach improves circulation, reduces symptoms like tingling and numbness, and helps patients regain mobility. Most candidates experience significant improvement through our structured health action plan that integrates lifestyle modifications with specialized care.
Knee Pain Relief
This five-step protocol addresses chronic knee pain through detailed diagnostics, decompression techniques, and customized rehabilitation. Patients receive personalized treatment plans that may include adjustments, therapeutic exercises, and shockwave therapy to improve joint function. The program aims to reduce pain by 30-70% after initial sessions while enhancing stability and mobility for long-term relief without surgery.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our non-forceful adjustment method focuses on precise spinal alignment without twisting or popping sounds. Using gentle techniques combined with post-treatment rest periods, we help reduce nerve interference and improve overall body function. Each session includes digital x-rays and follow-up evaluations to ensure optimal spinal health and posture correction.
Shockwave Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in chronic musculoskeletal conditions. By promoting blood flow and tissue regeneration, shockwave therapy effectively reduces inflammation and pain in areas like tendons and plantar fascia. Each 15-minute session targets specific problem areas to accelerate recovery with minimal downtime for improved range of motion.
Spinal Decompression
Our decompression system gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves. This targeted approach helps treat herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic back pain through controlled traction that creates space for healing. Combined with complementary therapies, it offers lasting relief for patients seeking alternatives to surgical interventions.

Six years ago I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in my feet and ankles by several foot doctors ( four and five star ones) but they offered no help. I went to Cleveland clinic where they said not rheumatoid but osteoarthritis and they told me to swim. no Other help. I went to dr Ken at Specific Chiropractic. he worked on my feet for 15 minutes and I walked out pain free. True story. Dr. Ken's methods are different than other chiropractors. all I know is they work.and he does not hurt me. This Doctor's advice makes sense, even to a layman who has even a little common sense. If it works. don't knock it.

We have been coming to Dr Ken for over 5 years with myself and our two daughters and absolutely love it! Always feel so much better and keeps us stronger at each visit. His office always follows up too if we have a need for extra visits to make sure we get in as much as needed to get on the road to full recovery. We don't know what we would do without him. We have also referred friends and employees to him and everyone is so happy that we did! Thanks so much for taking care of us
