Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments restore spinal alignment and nervous system function through hands-on manual therapy. This service addresses back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint dysfunction using techniques like Diversified, Gonstead, and Activator methods. Patients experience improved mobility, reduced inflammation, and enhanced overall wellness through regular adjustments tailored to individual needs.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy alleviates pressure on spinal discs to treat herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic back pain. This non-surgical treatment creates negative pressure in the discs, promoting nutrient flow and healing. Patients benefit from reduced nerve compression, decreased pain, and improved spinal function without invasive procedures or medication dependency.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy uses low-level light to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation for musculoskeletal injuries. This service accelerates healing for conditions like tendonitis, arthritis, and soft tissue damage while providing pain relief. Patients experience faster recovery times and improved tissue regeneration through this FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment.
Stem Wave Therapy
Stem Wave therapy employs acoustic waves to stimulate healing in chronic pain conditions and musculoskeletal injuries. This service improves blood flow, reduces inflammation, and promotes tissue regeneration for conditions affecting shoulders, knees, and back. Patients receive targeted, drug-free pain relief with no downtime required after each 10-minute session.
Sports Injury Treatment
Our sports injury treatment combines chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitation exercises to address sports-related injuries. This service accelerates recovery from sprains, strains, and joint injuries while improving athletic performance. Patients receive personalized care plans to restore function, prevent future injuries, and maintain peak physical condition.

Decompression table is awesome and insanely helpful! I had been having back problems off and on for 3 or 4 years. Lower back pain feeling like it was pinching or tight no matter how I moved. It got so bad this past summer that I couldn't put my socks on by myself. After visiting doc we decided to give the decompression table that he has at his office a try and it kicked my recovery into high gear. It helped so much I can't say it enough. Great office, great people, would recommend to anyone.

I had not felt my normal self, for over 4 years. Soon as I went in to see Dr. Upchurch. everything changed for me. My day to day life got easier. I felt 19 again. Sleeping all night, eating better, moving easier. At one point I was having numbness in my rlight hand and right foot. Now, this is not a over night fix. But he comes at an affordable price. For a self-employed person. If you have back, hip, neck pain. Go see him.
