Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments focus on correcting spinal misalignments to alleviate pain and improve nervous system function. Using manual techniques and specialized equipment, we treat conditions like whiplash, headaches, and joint pain while emphasizing long-term musculoskeletal health. Patients benefit from personalized treatment plans that integrate lifestyle recommendations for sustained wellness.
Physical Therapy
Customized physical therapy programs address post-injury recovery, surgical rehabilitation, and chronic condition management. Our evidence-based approach combines manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and functional movement training to restore mobility and reduce pain. Each plan adapts to individual progress while incorporating patient education about injury prevention and self-care techniques.
EMSCULPT NEO
This non-invasive treatment simultaneously builds muscle and reduces fat using high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology. FDA-cleared for toning abdominals, buttocks, thighs, arms, and calves, it provides visible results through 30-minute sessions requiring no downtime. Ideal for patients seeking enhanced body contouring alongside their wellness goals.
Auto Accident Recovery
Specialized care for auto accident injuries includes whiplash management, joint pain relief, and headache reduction through integrated chiropractic and physical therapy approaches. We document injuries for insurance purposes while providing pain management solutions that avoid pharmaceutical dependency, focusing on restoring pre-accident functionality.
Medical Weight Loss
Personalized weight management plans combine nutritional counseling, exercise prescriptions, and progress monitoring to achieve sustainable results. Our approach addresses metabolic factors and lifestyle habits while supporting patients through behavioral changes necessary for maintaining healthy weight levels long-term.

"Coming back" from surgery is not an easy thing. I can not say enough kind words about Bree and Dr. Patricia about helping me with the rehabilitation. Many times I thought that I was not going to make it. And every time that i felt like that Bree was there to encourage me to do the exercises. Wonderful clinic!

Dr Kozma was very truthful and helpful. Sometimes I think chiropractors are just in it for residual patients but he was helpful in the short term and actually gave me things to do on the regular like k-tape for my lower back issues. I tweaked my neck and he gave me a timeline and I felt so much better even after the first meeting. Everyone should go here!

I visited the office in excruciating pain that went across my back and radiated down my arm. After my 1st visit I felt a little relief but the pressure on my spine began to cause even more pain that would immediately bring me to tears and then my fingers went numb. I went back for my 2nd visit and they adjusted their treatment plan a little which I felt immediate relief again. My pain I believe stems from aging and overworking my muscles but there is definitely something going on to cause the numbness that a chiropractor isn't going to be able to fix without a true diagnosis.
I'm planning a doctor visit and continued treatment here for my immediate relief when it gets too bad to handle. Everyone in the office has always been professional and personable which is refreshing!

They told me they accepted my insurance, however, they didn't accept MY insurance. I have UHC dual complete and when I let them know after receiving a bill for over 300.00, the girl told me that they don't accept that portion of my insurance. They scanned my card, obviously assumed incorrectly and ill advised me, but would waive the remainder of my bill (they really had to, the error was on them).
The girl told me twice that they don't accept medicaid, with almost disgust in her voice, it didn't feel too good! I also had an appointment at 10:15 am and I arrived in plenty of time, however the woman and her child came in at my appointment time, rather than seeing me first, they took them instead. I didn't get seen because I had to leave by 10:30 and would have been late to my next appointment!
I would say, a chiropractor is a chiropractor. Find a place that will give you care, treat you with dignity, not make you feel shamed and will see you at your scheduled appointment time! This ended rather sadly for me!

Very thoughtful and concerned physical therapist. Nice small practice with individualized attention for each patient, unlike some large physical therapy offices I have been to where you are pawned of from one therapist to another each time and given same exercises as other patients in the room even though injuries are different. Very accommodating with appointment scheduling. It is rare to get such personalized service. I look forward to my appointments rather than dread them as being tedious like in other places.

Dr. Joseph Balen was recommended to me by a friend whose opinion I trusted, and my first appointment with him did not disappoint. The office was easy to find, with plenty of parking. His office staff is thorough and attentive and I was impressed with the appropriate Covid-19 precautions they took. The office itself has a comfortable, warm feeling to it. Dr. Balen really listened to my issues and concerns; he took his time with me, explained each maneuver he was doing before he did it; always asking if anything was causing pain or discomfort. I have worked with many chiropractors over many years and he is now at the top of my list.

Dr Balen is a great listener and always straightens me out when I come in for an adjustment. I have pretty acute scoliosis so am frequently in need of an adjustment. I am a loyal customer (been seeing him since 2013), and have referred quite a few people to him over the years. Thank you!
