Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper spinal alignment and nervous system function through manual adjustments. We treat musculoskeletal conditions using diversified techniques including SOT, Activator, and Thompson drop methods. Each treatment plan addresses both immediate symptoms and underlying structural imbalances to promote long-term wellness.
Back Pain Treatment
Specialized back pain treatment combines chiropractic adjustments with therapeutic modalities like electrical muscle stimulation and ultrasound therapy. We address acute injuries and chronic conditions through personalized rehabilitation programs that improve mobility, reduce inflammation, and strengthen supporting musculature for lasting relief.
Auto Injury Treatment
Our auto injury treatment specializes in whiplash and soft tissue trauma recovery using evidence-based chiropractic techniques. We develop comprehensive care plans that address spinal misalignments, muscle strains, and nervous system disruptions caused by motor vehicle accidents, focusing on restoring full functional capacity.
Sports Injury Treatment
Sports injury treatment integrates chiropractic care with rehabilitative exercises to accelerate recovery from athletic injuries. We employ specialized techniques for joint mobilization, soft tissue therapy, and functional restoration to help athletes regain performance levels while preventing future injuries through biomechanical optimization.
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound treatment uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deep tissues, breaking down scar tissue and reducing inflammation. This modality enhances blood flow and cellular metabolism to accelerate healing of chronic conditions and acute soft tissue injuries while alleviating muscle spasms and trigger points.

I'm a practicing Chiropractor/Physical Therapist and when there are cases that we need some help with I refer to Shane at Altacare. Shane is a blessing to our community and a pleasure to collaborate with when we need some help. If you're not in my office you can look to Shane as a good resource for pain relief.

By far the best Chiropractor I've seen. Was very informative. I did not feel rushed on my visit. Was able to me ease a bit of my lower back pain and recommended stretch. Also converted in small talk. Not all about business which I really like. I'm definable continuing my treatment here

Altacare is a peaceful, relaxing environment, the staff is very accommodating, and i always feel that my health is their #1 concern. Dr. Cradic is by far one of the finer physicians i've ever had the pleasure of being seen by in the DC area. I highly recommend.

Dr. Shane looked past my weight, and found the problem. Wow - I went to two specialists, and they couldn't even do this type of medicine. Now I am getting the medical care that I deserve.
